VOL. XXVI. WAS OFFERED $100,000 BRIBE Senator Travis, of Brooklyn, Springs Surprise. State Senator Swears Before Legislative Graft Committee In New York That Offer Was Made In Lobby Of the Senate In 1908 For His Vote Against the Anti-Racetrack Bills—Former Senator Gardner Involved. New York (Spécial).—One hundred thousand dollars to vote against the anti-racetrack betting bills in 1908 was offered to State Senator Eugene M. Davis, of Brooklyn, as he swore on the stand, testifying before the legislative graft committee. A mysterious little man, whose name he does not recall, made the offer in the lobby of the Senate, he said, in behalf of former Senator Frank J. Gardner. And Gardner, he added, confirmed it in a subsequent telephone conversation. Gardner is now under indictment, charged with having attempted similarly, though with a lesser amount, to influence Otto C. Foelker, of Brooklyn, now a congressman, but then a state senator. Foelker voted for the bill, as did Travis and it was passed notwithstanding the frantic efforts of the race track interests and the alleged use of a fund which previous testimony has placed at $500,000. Travis' testimony and the committee's efforts to subpoena James B. Keene and Harry Payne Whitney, two millionaires, whose hobby is horse racing, were the most interesting developments of the hearing, resumed after an adjournment on October 22. Efforts to find Messrs. Keene and Whitney have so far been without success and M. Linn Bruce, chairman of the committee, is growing impatient. Both men have been mentioned in previous testimony as having been present at a conference at Delmonico's at which the alleged corruption fund was raised and the committee is anxious to examine them. Travis' story added two new names to the list of senators "approached." The amount offered him, he explained, was to be paid in two instalments, $25,000 down and $75,000 after his vote had been cast. "Did you ever hear of any other senator being approach?" he was asked. "Yes, I took lunch with Senator Fuller and Senator Carpenter one day and they told me they had been approached. Senator Gates also told me he had been called on the telephone." "Would you know the man who approached you if you saw him again?" "Yes, I think so." BIG PILE OF COAL ON FIRE. Steam Ditcher and Shovel Scattering 20,000 Tons of Coal. Fort Madison, Iowa (Special).—Spontaneous combustion set fire to a 20,000-ton pile of storage coal in the shop yards of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. Railroad here. The coal had been steaming for several days and fire was discovered. A steam ditcher from this city and a steam shovel from the Missouri division of the road were set to scattering the coal. Progress in extinguishing the fire is slow, as each time the shovel opens up a passageway for air the blaze breaks out anew. BROTHERS ROB EMPLOYERS. Obtain $1,237. From Safe. But the Money Is Recovered. South Bend, Ind. (Special).—William H. Deltrich and his brother, Raymond, employees of the Robertson Brothers' department store, were arrested here, charged with robbing the safe of $1,237. The entire sum was recovered by the police, the brothers being arrested less than two hours after the robbery. The night watchman was beaten by the Dietrichs into unconsciousness, it is said, and the safe was opened with a chisel. STOLE HIS LIFE SAVINGS. Aged Chicago Man Reports Burglar Get Away With $600. Chicago (Special). — Herman Schwenger, 60 years old, who for 25 years has sold newspapers on the streets of Chicago, reported to the police that his savings of many years, amounting to $600, had been stolen from his house during his absence. Burglars forced open a rear door of Schwenger's house and took $500 from a trunk and the rest from a tin box which he had, hidden under a mattress. FATAL MISTAKE IN HOSPITAL Wrong Drug Kills Two Patients in Wilmington. Wilmington, Del. (Special)—Two men, patients at the Delaware Hospital, are dead and three other patients are in a serious condition as the result of swallowing a solution of bichloride of mercury administered to them in mistake for epsom salts. Dr. E. I. Dunkelberg, aged 21 years, the junior resident physician, is the one who made up the solution of poison in mistake for the medicine. When he learned of his mistake he tried to swallow some of the poison, but was prevented. He is now almost insane and is under constant guard, as it is feared he might do himself harm. Until he recovers it will not be known how he came to make such a fatal mistake. The epsom salts is kept in a bottle in the ward, and the bottle is labeled "Epsom Salts." When it is empty the nurses send it to the laboratory, where the junior resident physician has charge of the making up of the medicines. Doctor Attempts Suicide. When the bottle was sent to the laboratory Dr. Dunkelberg made up the solution. The mercury and salts are in tablet form and look alike. These tablets are dropped into water in ratio, according to the desired strength of the solution. When filled, the bottle, labeled salts was returned to the ward, where were the five patients. A nurse gave each of the patients a dose and was to have given a second dose later. In a short time after the first the patients began to vomit. The nurse became suspicious and summoned Dr. Dunkelberg. When told what had happened, he exclaimed: "My God. It can't be true!" Immediately he swallowed a big dose of the polson. A stomach pump and emetics had to be used on him and when he was revived he declared: "It would have been better if I had taken a larger dose than that given to any of the patients," and he proceeded to swallow more of the polson. Nurses, however, caught and prevented him from thus ending his own life. Stomach pumps and emetics were used upon the five patients and for nearly 24 hours the nurses and other doctors who had been summond worked over the victims. PLAN BIG MEMORIAL HALL $2,250,000 Needed For the George Washington Building. Washington, D. C. (Special).—Two million dollars is the share to be raised by the George Washington Memorial Association and $250,000 to be raised by Washingtonians is the basis upon which Granville Hunt, chairman of the convention committee of the Washington Chamber of Commerce, is working to obtain a memorial hall for the national capital. Mr. Hunt and Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, sister of the late William C. Whitney, of New York, and president of the George Washington Association, have been in conference here, and both are working earnestly in the effort to get a hall with adequate facilities for accommodating the large conventions. Mr. Hunt said that he was confident of success, and that the business men here already have piedged $14,000. Mrs. Dimock has suggested stimulating interest broadcast by including in the proposed building plans separate rooms for every state in the union appropriating money in furtherance of the project. APPEALS FOR PAROLE. Insurance Agent Sims Pleads Gulty Of Embezzlement. Washington, D. C. (Special).—John C. Sims, the former Washington Agent of the Life Insurance Company of Virginia, who was indicted for embezzlement of $3,600 from that company, following an attempt at self-destruction in the office of a local physician a short time ago, pleaded guilty to the charge in the Criminal Court here. Following an appeal for a parole under the new probation law, Sims was remanded to jail until next week, when Chief Justice Clabaugh will pass on the motion. Big Fire In Roundhouse. Nashua, N. H. (Special).—Seventy-five thousand dollars' worth of locomotives were destroyed in a fire that broke out in the roundhouse of the Worcester, Nashua and Portland Division of the Boston and Maine Railroad here. The fire was caused by the explosion of a tank used in generating gas for the locomotive headlight. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1910. FALLS 500 FEET TO HIS DEATH Johnstone Drops Out Of Sky in His Wright Biplane. AIRCRAFT TURNS TRIPLE SOMERSAULT While Crowd Was Cheering Spectacular Flight At Denver Meet, Holder Of The Altitude Record Is Seen Trying To Keep Atop Of Overturning Aircraft—Is Dashed To Instant Death—Souvenir Hunters Strip Body and Draw Splinters From Wounds. Denver, Col. (Special).—With one wing of his machine crumbled like a piece of paper, Ralph Johnstone, the brilliant young aviator, holder of the world's altitude record, dropped like a plummet from a height of 500 feet into the enclosure at Overland Park aviation field and was instantly killed. When the spectators crowded about the inclosure reached him his body lay beneath the engine of the biplane, with the white planes that had failed him in his time of need wrapped about it like a shroud. Nearly every bone in his body was broken. He had gambled with death once too often, but he played the game to the end, fighting coolly and grimly to the last second to regain control of his broken machine. Fresh from his triumphs at Belmont Park, where he had broken the world's record for altitude with a flight of 9,714 feet, Johnstone attempted to give the thousands of spectators an extra thrill with his most daring feat, the spiral glide, which has made the Wright aviators famous. The spectators got their thrill, but it cost Johnstone his life. His Fight For Life. The fatal flight was the second Johnstone had made. In the first flight, when he was in the air with Hoxsey and Brookins, he had gone through his usual program, of dips and glides with the machine apparently under perfect control. Then Johnstone rose again, and after a few circuits of the course to gain height headed toward the foothills. Still ascending, he swept back in a big circle, and as he reached the north end of the enclosure, he started his spiral glide. He was then at an altitude of about 800 feet. With his plane tilted at an angle of almost 90 degrees, he swooped down in a narrow circle, the aeroplane seeming to turn almost in its own length. As he started the second circle, the middle spur, which braces the left side of the lower plane, gave way, and the wing tips of both upper and lower planes folded up as though they had been hinged. For a second, Johnstone attempted to right the plane by warping the other wing-up. Then the horrified spectators saw the plane swerve like a wounded bird and plunged straight toward the earth. The Dash To Earth. Johnstone was thrown from his seat as the nose of the plane swung downward. He caught on one of the wire stays between the plane and grasped one of the wooden braces of the upper plane with both hands. Then, working with hands and feet, he fought by main strength to warp the planes so that, their surfaces might catch the air and check his descent. For a second it seemed that he might succeed, for the football helmet he wore blew off and fell much more rapidly than the plane. The hope was momentary, however, for when about 300 feet from the ground, the machine turned completely over and the spectators fed wildly as the broken plane, with the aviator still fighting grimly in the mesh, of wires and stays, plunged among them with a crash. Scarcely had Johnstone hit the ground before morbid men and women swarmed over the wreckage, fighting with each other for souvenirs. One of the broken wooden stays had gone almost through Johnstone's body. Before doctors or police could reach the scene, one man had torn this splinter from the body and run away, carrying his trophy with the aviator's blood still dripping from its ends. The crowd tore away the canvases from over the body, and even fought for the gloves that had protected Johnstone's hands from the cold. STREET CARS HELD UP. Highwaymen Escape After Pistol Battle. New Orleans (Special). Two masked highwaymen held up two street cars, rifled-the passengers and then escaped after a running pistol battle with the police. The highwaymen got considerable money, and a quantity of jewelry. Policemen gave chase, and a duel, in which a score of shots were fired, took place in the streets. SEIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT Another Customs Fraud is Unearthed in New York. New York (Special).—The entire stock of Joseph Brooke & Co., an English woolen firm, which has maintained a branch house in New York city for a quarter of a century, was seized by the government in an action to recover $200,000 damages, "in consequence of fraud and other wrongful acts." Alleged evasion of customs duties, disclosed by a former employee of the firm, is the basis for the action. With the seizure of the goods it became, known that the government had recently instituted suit against the firm, but, being unable to serve the summons in the action, because the Brookes are at the present time in Huddersfield, England, United States District Attorney Wise obtained a writ of attachment. The writ was served by United States Marshal Henkel upon Robert C. Berron, manager of the business, which is conducted at No. 840 Broadway. The stock is valued at almost the amount of the damages claimed by the government. Peter Redling, until recently a clerk in the firm's employ, gave the information on which the government acted. Special agents were assigned to investigate his story and, according to Mr. Wise, examination verified his charges that the company had for years cheated the government by undervaluation of goods and false invoices. Nicholas C. Brooks, a special agent, who worked on the case, submitted an affidavit to Judge Hazel, in the United States District Court, and Judge Hazel issued the attachment. Brooks swears "that during the five years last past the defendants imported into the United States and entered and introduced into the United States from England woolens, worsteds and Inlings subject to the duty imposed by law, and said defendants, by false and fraudulent invoices, statements, affidavits and entries, procured the entry and introduction of such merchandise into the commerce of the United States at less than the true value." The parent house of the company is at Bradford, England, and the members of the firm reside abroad. TORTURED BY ROBBERS. Jersey City Butchers Bound and Beaten. Jersey City, N. J. (Special).—Tortured, until one of them will probably die, John Colbat and his brother, Ignatz, well-to-do butchers, were brutally attacked while they slept by burglar, who got away with $700 and a check for $40. The burglar believed the brothers had money secreted in their apartments, and in order to make them reveal its hiding place tied sheets over their heads, bound their hands and feet and rolled them helpless to the floor. They then beat them with blackjacks. ECONOMY THE WORD. Congress To Make Record At Coming Session. Washington, D. C. (Special).—The House will, it is believed here, make a record for economy this session. They base this statement on the understanding that there will be no rivers and harbors nor omnibus public building appropriation bills. The War Department will recommend a number of important surveys, but the amount asked will be comparatively small. The Treasury will probably confine its recommendations to buildings under way and the purchase of sites authorized at the last session. DYNAMITE OFF IN POCKET. Stick Exploded When Farmer Falls and Falls To Kill. Bassfield, Miss. (Special).—Marvin Hudson, a farmer, living near here, placed a stick of dynamite in his pocket, intending to carry it to employees in his field. Hudson stumbled and fell. That he was not blown to pieces when the dynamite exploded is considered marvelous. He may recover from his injuries. RAT POISON IN THE PIE. Seven Persons Ill and Thirty-Severen Chickens Dead. Washington, Pa. — Seven persons were made ill by eating poisoned pie in a South Main street restaurant here. They are reported in a serious condition, but will recover. The pie later was thrown from the window of the restaurant and was eaten by chickens, 37 of which have died. John Fremont, a negro cook, in making the pie, got hold of a can of rat poison instead of baking powder. He is one of the victims of his mistake. WASHINGTON SPEAKS AT CHARLOTTE, N. C. WASHINGTON SPEAKS AT CHARLOTTE, N. C. Booker T. Washington Speaks to Tremendous Crowd at First Point Touched on Tour of State of Charlotte, N. C.—(Special.)—Booker T. Washington spoke before a tremendous crowd at the Auditorium, the proportion of Negroes to white auditors being about two to one in an attendance of perhaps three thousand. Seldom has there been a grander public address delivered by any man in this city than the Principal of Tuskegee institute made here. A man of wonderful simplicity of pleasing platform powers, of rare culture and glittering personality, Doctor Washington thoroughly enchained the attention of the large audience for nearly two hours as he spoke of the economic duties devolving upon the people at whose head he stands. He spoke simply but cogently; humorously but appealing, and every word he uttered was as if by prophetic ic voice. Not a colored man heard him that was not enraptured, and not a white man that was not moved either by convincing logic or by the sheer powers of the orator. Doctor Washington spoke as a man speaking to men, not as the acknowledged peer of his race. Seldom a word he uttered was of more than two syllables. The profundity of his argument was its simplicity. In part, Principal Washington said: "I have but one object in coming into your midst—to see the conditions of my people and to observe how we can best elevate our citizens and better cement the relationship between the white man and the Negro. "We of the South are laboring under certain disadvantages because the outside world hears of the worst that occurs in the South and seldom hears of the better. If one black man burns a house, everybody hears it the next day. If ten black men build a house, very few hear of it outside of their community. "We have problems, tremendous problems, to solve. Every race and every country has problems. The fact is I wouldn't want to belong to a race or a nation that didn't have problems. "The 10,000,000 black people of America have been discussed more than any other people. It is mighty hard to conduct a political campaign in this country without injecting the Negro into it. They have tried to send us to Africa. But we are going to stay here. We were brought here. We are going to stay here because we don't want to leave the South and because the white man doesn't want us to leave. I believe, there is patience enough, hope enough, wisdom enough to enable us to live aeer with the white man and work out our destinies to the best interest of the others concerned. We are a new race just planting ourselves in the direction of civilization, our future is all before us. I have seen some races that have their future behind them. "We are making progress, but there are problems which we must confront before we reach the highest type of civilization. One of these is the necessity for staying at one place. We are travelling too much. We must establish ourselves and gain a reputation for sobriety and industry. "I have found that our people are best off, as a rule, when living in the rural districts close to the soil and worst off when thrown in the midst of a complex civile life. For a certain class of labor, our race is best adapted. In this respect we have a great responsibility in the South, and we must get rid of the old idea that la- Current Events The lifeboats of the English National Lifeboat Association saved over 600 lives last season. They were launched over 400 times. Alternately heating and cooling cast iron will increase its volume. Ten thousand herrings make one ton in weight.

I am going to be frank, make a reputation for reliability and keep it. "We must be progressive in our labor. Brains, skill and new ideas are being put into our labor. The Negro must put intelligence into his work. Civilization is relentless--you must do these things or move on. "We must learn to save that, which we get hold of. Those who save are the most reliable in their labor. If you haven't got a bank account, start one tomorrow. The difference between you and the white man is that you have only one man working for you—muscle—while he has himself and his money. I have never known a man so religious who would take off Sunday interest on mortgages. When the white man goes to bed, he has a servant still working. When we go to bed, everything stops. There is not a thing doing. "I believe in a heaven, but I am trying harder to get heaven into people instead of getting people into heaven. There are things we can do to bring heaven on earth. I like this world myself. We are the greatest people on earth to prepare to live in the other world. Let us-not talk so much about the mansions in the skies; let us build neat cottages and live happily instead of talking so much about getting washed in the blood of the lamb; let us get a bath lub. There is an abundance of opportunity here for us. This is the best country in the land. "I want to see the line drawn between the good and the bad. Idlenezza is the cause of the sins of our people. "And the Negro must be educated. There are lots of folks who are afraid to educate the Negro. We must convince the world that an educated Negro is worth more than an ignorant Negro. The fellow who got his college education twenty-five years ago and then strutted around the streets with patent leatherers and silk hat represented the silly, boyish period of our career. That is not the Negro man who is being educated today. Education is cheaper than ignorance. Ignorance is costing us the best time and the best thought of our white people in the courts. "In nine cases out of ten in every community where I have visited I have found peace, harmony and friendship between the races. The Negro has his white friend and the white man has his Negro friend. "We are going to live here in the future. We like you and you like us. We have helped the white man and the white man is going to help us. Aside from our color, we are nearer-like you than the foregner. In tastes, in dress and in ideas, we are not far apart and the Negro loves the community in which he lives. There are thousands of Negroes in your county who would die for the honor and life of their white friends. "Now, I have referred to friendly relations existing between black people and white people in this state. But for the fact that there is a large class of white people in every community who quietly without noise, without being known outside their community, who are helping the Negro to get education, to get prosperity, to improve his moral and religious life, but for the existence and work of these white Southern friends, it would have been impossible in a state like North Carolina for us to have made this tremendous progress in so short a time in bettering our condition, and so throughout the South if we learn to be frank with each other, to trust each other, to cultivate love, and toleration, instead of hatred we will teach the world a lesson as to how two races, different in color, can live together in peace and in harmony and friendship." Poultry Pointers. Please remember, in selecting eggs for hatching that the old hens not only lay larger eggs than the pullets, but they will hatch out more vigorous chickens. Ground bone and oyster shell is the best way to supply your fowls with lime. Keep it before them all the time. The indications are that eggs will bring good prices this fall and winter, and the flock should be got in as good condition as possible to supply as many as you can. Seed all the bare ground around the poultry yards and in them, if you can, to rye and rape, and, by the way, if you have never tried rape, by all means try some this year, and you won't have to be told next year. It is fine for poultry. George L. Clemans in Florida Fruit and Produce News. Annie Hartwell, behind the curtains of her chamber, saw the strange young man deliberately pull up her cherished pansies and throw them away. All this happened in the dim light of the waning moon. At breakfast the next morning she stared curiously at her mother's guest. Her anger was gone. She merely wondered at the mania possessing the youth. Folwell was good looking. He did not look like a monomaniac. He seemed unusually well balanced, and thoroughly posted. His gray eyes were frank to a point of positive candor, and they did not belie him. The youthful, well proportioned frame of Folwell was calculated to appeal to any normal-minded maid. Annie had been quite won to this visitor from the city. Felix Folwell was an entire stranger to the Hartwells. He had come to them in their dainty Fairview home with letters of introduction from mutual friends in the city, and he had consequently been accorded all the privileges of an old social acquaintance. The brow of Annie wrinkled into a thoughtful frown as she reviewed the events of the several days that this,youth had been with them. Reflectively she eyed the ravished pansy bed. "Do I intrude?" The girl turned calm eyes to the questioner. "Not at all. I am in somewhat of a quandary. Perhaps you can as- THE WINDOW Took Up Her Vigil Behind the Curtain of Her Boudolr. sist me. As you see, some person, or animal, has ruthlessly destroyed my flower bed. I am inclined to think it the former. See the footprints. Annie would have liked to see the expression on the man's face as he bent above the ruined plot. "Beastly joke," he ejaculated at last, and raised his frank eyes to meet her own. "I'm sure I can't understand." "Nor I," came from the girl, but she wondered greatly that, she still felt no anger against this youth. Felix Folwell seemed to have no mission in the town. His introductory letters intimated that he was a young man of fortune, and that this country trip—Griggsville was a small town—was advised by a physician who had decreed quiet for the young man. Folwell looked the very antithesis of a man who suffered. Annie, with suspicion concealed behind the calm of her eyes, noted this. "Did you sleep well last evening?" she probed some time after the pansy dialogue was over. The visitor favored her with a keen, almost analytical glance, "Pretty well," he answered, smoothly. "Why?" "Oh, nothing." That night, by the light of the moon, the girl was again the silent witness of a most peculiar maneuver on the part of the New Yorker. Her eyes were focused on a great lilac bush when it suddenly crashed heavily to the ground. Startled, she stared at its destroyer. Folwell, who was now disclosed with a spade in his hand on the other side of the fallen shrub. As she gazed, the guest shouldered his instrument and marched scerely away. Annie Hartwell was angry—terribly, furiously angry. The perfect contour of her face was distorted by the mad tumult of suppressed feelings. She felt that she could not wait until morning to tell that man what she thought of him. But in the morning she did nothing of the kind, for the explanation of this man's strange behavior had suddenly come to her. Folwell—how simple, and how surprising that she had not thought of it sooner—was a somnambulist, a sleep welker. She did not attempt to define the feeling of relief that came to her with the thought. Annie, at the breakfast table, cast a compassionate glance across at the visitor. Doubtless, the youth was on the very verge of a nervous breakdown. She reproached herself for having been suspicious of him.' On this day the youth vanished from the house and did not reappear until evening. Annie had no chance to talk with him. The house seemed strangely lonely and deserted during the absence of their guest. Folwell at last returned, hot, tired and dusty. He offered no excuse for having absented himself without explaining to his hostess that he would, not return to lunch—and none was demanded. That night Annie again took up her vigil behind the curtains of her boudoir. Presently, through the murk of the dim night, she discovered her guest strolling leisurely up and down the lawn.4 Annie Hartwell, prepared for just this, had not disrobed. Hurriedly she tripped out through the French window into the night, flinging a gauzy scarf about her as she did so. She joined the youth. Somewhere she had read that sleep walkers were always unconscious of others in their immediate proximity, and also that it was not safe to wake them. The youth quickly proved the fallacy of the former bit of Annie's knowledge. "Wh—why," he gasped, suddenly turning as the girl joined him. "I didn't hear you, Miss Hartwell." Annie, thrown out of the rut of her carefully thought-out plan, decided to humor the somnambulist: "There, there," she soothed, much as she would have talked to a baby. "Don't pay any attention to me at all, Mr. Folwell. Just pretend that I am not here." "But that is impossible, Annie," declared the youth, using the girl's given name for the first time. "Just go on and do whatever you intended doing," interrupted the maid hurriedly. "Something must have brought you out here at this time of night." Folwell gazed curiously at her. "Would you like to know what brought me out here?" he questioned softly. "Yes," exclaimed the girl, eagerly, prepared to listen to a confession. "Well, then," began the man, "you are the cause of it." The girl gasped. "Yes, you," continued Folwell, as if the girl had spoken her protest. "I love you, and on such short acquaintance I was afraid to tell you—until now." "My work here is completed—and successfully. I must return to the city tomorrow. You are rich now, little girl. I—I can't ask you to marry me, but I want you to know that I love you." "I don't understand," cried the girl. "You must, be asleep. You would not talk this way if you were not." "I have been on a search for buried treasure. The Hendersons, in whose possession this old manse had been until circumstances compelled them to sell it to your father, were very, very wealthy at one time, but after the Civil war, during which the head of the house, a Confederate officer, was killed in battle, their star of fortune waned. "I, who am the only remaining descendant of the Hendersons, have always had an idea that my grandfather buried his treasure for safety's sake while he was away. I secured letters from mutual friends and came here in this disgraceful manner—but I was right! I have found the money and securities amounting to almost half a million dollars. They were buried under the lilac tree. Today, during my absence, I examined and inventoried them. I shall give half of it to your father for coming here under false pretenses. For the same reason I shall not ask you to marry me." "Then—then," softly spoke a small voice, as a flushed face buried itself on. Folwell's broad shoulder, "I—I must ask you." NEGRO PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE IN CHICAGO MORAL AWAKENING AMONG.BET- TER ELEMENT OF THE RACE IN WINDY CITY. ORGANIZATION HAS 60 MEMBERS To Promote Moral, Social, Industrial and Political Condition Chicago.—(Special.)—There seems to be signs of a positive moral awakening in Chicago among the better and more responsible element of the colored people. The most important evidence of this awakening is to be found in an organization of colored men recently formed in what is known as the Third ward. Some of the best colored families of the city live in the ward and own much valuable property. The exact purpose of this new organization is best stated in the language of what is called the "articles of association:" "The name of the organization shall be The Negro Progressive league. The primary objects of the league shall be. First: To encourage and promote the moral, social, industrial and political condition of the Negro race. "Second: To inspire a higher appreciation of our American citizenship and demand for the race recognition of the principles guaranteed to American citizens under the constitution of the United States. "Third: To resist and oppose corruption within the race and spread any influence tending to inspire a wholesome citizenship." League Has Sixty Members. Although the organization is less than a month old, it already has a membership of over sixty. The president is Edward E. Wilson, a graduate of Williams' college and of the Howard Law school, Washington, D. C., and prominent member of the Chicago bar. The other officers are: Vice president, Dr. Wm. H. Davls; secretary, Morris Lewis; assistant secretary, Carroll Nelson; treasurer, James P. Early. The following committees have been appointed: Executive, industrial, legislative, legal action, civic, commercial, pursuits, membership and political action The forming of the Negro Progressive league is regarded as the most significant forward movement that has been attempted in Chicago for a long time. The colored people have been embarrassed in many ways for lack of a representative body of responsible men who are unselfish, alert and public-spirited. Every other race of people in this cosmopolitan center has some strong civic organization that can act unitedly and effectively in cases of emergency. At present there are many organizations in this city but none of the character of a civic organization. The organization starts out without fear or favor; it belongs to no political party, sect or social group. It will not hesitate to criticize wrongdoing of colored people when such criticism is timely and makes for a better public opinion. It will insist upon higher standards of life and living and will make use of the best men and women for work that is worthy of a people seeking and insisting upon equal opportunities. Dreams serve their purpose: in our dreams we pass, without effort, into the realms of the beautiful or we get a glimpse of that which is most ugly and repulsive.—Exchange. A COLORED STUDENT'S GRIT. Deaf, Dumb, Half Blind, But Wants to Get Through Yale Law New Hayen, Conn.—(Special.)—Yale university produced, perhaps, its pluckiest student in the person of a Negro youth who applied at the Yale Bureau of Appointments and Self-Help for some sort of light work. The student, who had a diploma from Shaw university, was deaf and dumb and blind in one eye, but he wrote on his slate that the one eye was enough to get him through the Yale Law school and he felt sure of getting another sheepskin to hang beside his parchment from Shaw. The bureau refused to make public the student's name, but the officials said they would find some remunerative work for his one remaining eye even if they had to appoint him to the faculty.

At the approach of winter that dreadful disease known as tuberculosis will soon be sending many to their untimely graves and I will here endeavor to make as simple as possible, a few facts that will be of benefit if observed. Tuberculosis is a very old disease. It is caused, by a germ known as the tubercle bacillus which was first observed by the late Doctor Koch. This germ like all others thrives best in the dark. It gains entrance to the body chiefly through the organs of breathing, but may also gain access through the blood and food—especially milk and meat. The disease was long fought by the Jews and any people that fight a disease for the longest period develop the greatest resistance, not as with the Negro as it was not prevalent among them when they lived an open air life in Africa or even during slavery, but since the abolition of slavery statistics have shown that the disease is more prevalent among them; of course all that statistics claimed to have died from tuberculosis I will question, especially those from the south and even in the north who were attended by white physicians that hardly examined their Negro patients throughly, but because he looks thin and coughs then he has tuberculosis. Nevertheless the fact cannot be doubted that since the Negro has taken more to the customs of civilization the disease has played quite a havoc among the race. In 1870 there was no tuberculosis noticed in the island of Bermuda by sailors; this brought many tuberculars from Europe. They did well, but the natives suffered worst so that in time the island became not a place of health, but more of infection. The Bermudians were wiped out because they did not have the same resistance as the Europeans who suffered longer from the disease. The same thing is seen with the North American Indians; the disease was unknown until civilization spread among them, in other words wherever civilization has spread, the disease has spread also. It is a very treacherous disease and not easily recognized in its early stage until the germ is seen under the microscope which may then, be too late. There are a few signs I have observed to be a good guide—first there is loss of weight, cough especially in the mornings, indefinite pains around the chest, chills, fever; that fever rises slightly in the evenings, night sweats. The chest has the appearance of full and ditches, over the collar bone usually is seen a deep hollow. Your relatives may have died from a cough, but it is not necessary for them to have had tuberculosis, as the disease is not inherent. It has been observed that two-thirds the population of the earth have the germs along their breathing organs, only lying there latent until the vitality of the body be lowered. If you have observed any of these signs then it is best to see a physician, not the druggist, as these quacks are first consulted who often introduce some patent syrup filled with morphine. This drug depresses and if there is a time for stimulation destroys digestion. The patient has no lungs, his stomach is his only citadel and if this is destroyed, then what can your physician do for you who as a rule sees you at this juncture after those men have played with your lives, transgressed the laws by prescribing for something which they know nothing about? Keep in mind that tuberculosis can be cured if well treated early. There are certain precautions one should observe at the approach of winter, first keep the body warmly glad, second the abuse of alcohol which tends to lower the resistance of the body. The blood is filled with soldiers who are on duty day and night and if you intoxicate them, then JUST FOR FUN. "I see you've advertised for a lost dawg, ma'am, and ———" "Yes, but that isn't my little Jewel. That's a mongrel. Take him ———" "I know that, ma'am. No dawg could ever take the place of your lost darlin', but if you'd like to have a gentle little creature to love while you're huntin' for your Jool I'll sell you this un for 50 cents, ma'am."—Chicago Tribune. An Acrobatic Attitude "When Jack told that story, did Fred fall for it?" "Yes, and stood for it, too."—Baltimore American. Truth, having been crushed to earth again, lay helpless. "What's the use!" exclaimed Truth, making no effort to rise. "I shouldn't try to get up until after the election. I can't buck against a million campaign lies!"—Chicago Tribune. Tired Out. "Is the first edition of your novel exhausted yet?" "No. Why?" "I thought it might be from standing so long on the counters."—Boston Transcript. A Passable Hat. Her—How do you like my new hat? Him—Well, it's passable. Her—You don't like it, then? Him—I sure—do. A fellow can't bass many of 'em.—Cleveland Leader is when the enemy—tubercle "bacilli" invades the body, the soldiers will not be in a fighting-condition. Let nutritious food take the place of alcohol, which will strengthen the soldiers of the body for time of battle; third have plenty of ventilation to your rooms, not draughts. Do not sleep in apartments overcrowded at night, this will not be easily observed owing to the high price of rent that Negroes have to pay in large cities for unhygeneic houses. In order to meet the demand, generally from three persons or more often sleep in one room at nights, but one should always keep in mind that three thousand cubic feet of fresh air is necessary for each healthy individual to consume, even more so for the sick; fourth, avoid the usage of raw milk, especially giving it to children. Housewives should examine the meats for little nodules the size of a pea, of course the health department looks after this, but sometimes such meat escapes the observation of the officials, but throughly cooking your meals the escaped parasites will be killed; fifth, have plenty of open air exercise. The domesticated animals, horses, cows, cats, suffer from it more so than they did when they lived an open air life. Discourage spitting, especially in dark corners as healthy people do not spit unless they inhale or taste something obnoxious. The consumptive, as a rule, is a carless person who does not look out for the health of the others. If you should be living or working near anyone who coughs and spits a great deal, especially if the split be of a greenish character or mixed with blood, then see that it is well disinfected, because when it dries the dust is blown or swept around and inhaled. Bell boys, porters and others who have to clean and look after cuspliders in public places should thoroughly disinfect their hands after cleaning such vessels; sixth, do not eat or drink from utensils used by consumptives, waiters and others should be careful using meals left by their consumptive guests for you may as well eat or drink poison as to make use of such food. By observing these precautions and early recognition of the disease, it can be prevented or its progress arrested and cured—C. H. Kinght, M. D., C. M., in Illinois Chronicle. The Philosopher Keeping up appearances has pulled many a good man down. Many a man who runs into trouble is glad enough to crawl out—if he can. When one speaks of an average man he generally means the black sheep of the stock. The woman who wants to look up in the world these days must of necessity take her hat off. The woman who cannot be a social success without bankrupting her husband had better by far stay out of society. The man who demands economy at home so that he may have more money to spend in having a good time with the boys down town had no business getting married. Judge not, or you will be judged according to your deserts. Our little weaknesses, possessed by others, become full-grown faults. A little aeroplaning is dangerous, but much of it is a dead sure thing. Love at long distance is the only preventive against matrimony for some young ones. Many are called but some of them are left out of the census. The man who never shows surprise has never lived in Lisbon or on the top of a crater. Make your women friends happy by asking them to do your Christmas shopping if you have the money now in the bank. The girl behind the counter can tell you what would be the most appropriate gift for your best girl. Self-contempt is mental suicide. Constancy is the rare gift which every lover thinks he possesses. False friends are like glow worms —one cannot keep them alight. Mutual admiration has carried many a medicore individual to success. The woman who has stopped flirting has stopped teaching and learning as well. Those who allow themselves to be blinded easily also allow one to awake them in a hurry. The milk of human kindness, when not skimmed, has a way of appearing germful under the moroscope of the pessimist. It's too late to mend when you have willfully put it off. Bad grammarlans can make love without apostrophes. The keenest minds are not too keen for the great searching light of truth. Life is as serious as we take it; as good as we make it. Politeness may be below par, but there's such a thing as reaction. The word happiness has almost as many symbols as there are hearts. Many men of many minds are agreed upon the opinion that many women of many minds keep changing them. Comments of European Press on Booker T. Washington's Visit Dr. Booker Washington's own speech at the dinner given at the National Liberal Club London which lasted about an hour, was an Impressive utterance. In its structure it was, perhaps, more suited for the public platform than for the after-luncheon table. We shall long remember the strong, grave, and kindly face, of the uncrowned king of the Negro world, the proud set of his head as he pronounced the words, "I was once a slave boy," his gentleness and humility, his quiet humor, and his sound practical sense in listening to him. I seemed to understand St. Paul's words: "Wast thou called being a bondservant? Care not for it; but if thou canst become free, use it rather."—The London Morning Leader. The Position of the Negró. Dr. Booker T. Washington now on a visit to England, was entertained at luncheon by the Anti-slavery and Aborigines' Protection Society in London yesterday. Several letters eulogizing his work for the enlightenment of the Negro were read by the Chairman, Sir T. Fowell Buxton. The Prime Minister of England, Mr. Asquith, in expressing his inability to attend wrote: "I feel sure Dr. Washington will be welcomed with a cordiality which his persistent and successful labours in the cause of the education of the American Negro deserve, especially at the hands of Englishmen, whose difficulties in many parts of the Empire have been helped towards a solution by the results of his work." Mr. Andrew Carnegie wrote that the guest's name would rank with the few immortals as one who had not only shown his people the promised land, but was teaching them how to prove themselves worthy of it—a Joshua and a Moses combined. Mr. Balfour also sent a letter of apology for non-attendance. Mr! Herbert Samuel, Postmaster-General in a speech, voiced the cordial sympathy with which the British Government regarded the work of Mr. Washington. Dr. Washington was the symbol of the regeneration of his race and a message of hope to the Negro populations of the world. In the course of an interesting reply, Doctor Washington said, although legally the Negro race was free, everyone must realize that freedom in its trust and broadest sense could never be a bequest, but a conquest, and much remained to be done. There was a growing spirit among the black people that buring, and lynching must be a bar to their civilization—The Irish Times, London. The Dignity of Work. Mr. Booker Washington, who has just completed a brief tour in Europe, is one of the men to whom the world owes much. Born in slavery, he received from some source the spark of genius which enabled him to see far beyond the range of vision of his race-fellows—and, indeed, of most whites. He saw that the only way to lift up the Negro race was to teach his people that their salvation depended upon their own hard work. This he has succeeded in doing to an extraordinary extent, in spite of enormous difficulties. The natural instinct of the Negro when liberated from slavery was to assume that he was now able to escape from manual work. Mr. Booker Washington saw that this was impossible, that the intellectual development of the Negro was so low that he could only make himself useful in the world by manual work, and that there was no place for him unless he could be useful. Acting on these principles, he, founded the famous Tuskegee Institute, where Negro men and women are taught not only the moral lesson of the dignity of labour Absent-Minded. If the public does not know that Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the pure-feed expert, is one of the most absent-minded men in the world, all doubt of the fact will vanish after this story has been read. The doctor takes his lunch in the cafe of the National Press Club, and when he lunches he misses no bits, overlooks no food. He has a fine, appetite—a remarkable appetite, considering all the unpleasant and terrible things he knows about foodstuffs. One afternoon he finished his meal, walked into the cloakroom, and put on his hat. As he was going out he was accosted by a friend, who invited him to lunch with him. Doctor Wiley hesitated. "To tell you the truth," he said, whimsically, "I don't know whether I've just had lunch or not." He thought deeply for several moments. "Just to make sure," he concluded, seriously, "I'll go in and have another." And he ate as much the second time as he had the first. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. Service has a long way to go before it gets to be loyalty. A safe way to stay out of jail is to be very good. Last years styles are the only kinds it seems comfortable to think of—this year's are awful, and next year's may be worse. Only one man in a thousand can believe that at least one woman out of a thousand is truly indifferent to general attention. but the practical lesson of how to make manual labour more remunerative by combining it with intellectual study and moral discipline. To have done this on the large scale attained at Tuskegee is a great service to the world. Among white men as well as among Negroes there exists a widespread deligration that manual labour contains an element of degradation which does not exist in the case of intellectual labor. The real degradation, wherever it exists, lies in the man himself. If he is content merely to use his muscles in an unintelligent manner, and to give the least possible value for the pay he receives, and if further he is content to go about the streets with dirty hands and dirty clothes, and to spend on drink money required for his home; he will remain relatively degraded, even though his wages may be double those earned in some clerical professions.—The Daily Graphic, London; Poverty of and by Our People Ay, ay, old fellow, Fat and plump and mellow. My dear 'sir, You stir Early tonight With steps light. But, Mr. Chinch, Do you pinch Like others of your race at night, When everything is lost to sight?

To heed What I say And stay away; For I must sleep tonight, Or you and I will fight. Now-I must sleep, But you must-keep At a distance Nor must you bring assistance To worry me all night, When I've put out the light, See, you scout, My light is out; Go, and peaceful be, And don't bother me. (That rascal wants to rule, But he is not a fool; Since I've shown fight, He will stand off tonight.) OUCH! That slouch. Has slipped around And found— The Great Seal. Who stuck that pin in me? I'll strike a match (Scratch) And light the lamp To see if I can catch that scamp. You rascal! I knew It was you— See here, old chinch, Don't come another inca! If you do, I will make hash of you. —A Robertson in Southern Plough mau. There's a Reason. Vacation days are over, And working days are here; That's why they're melancholy, "The saddest of the year." —Detroit News. FELLOWSHIP. When a man 'aint got a cent anhe's feeling kind of blue. An the clouds hang dark and heavy, 'an won't let the sunshine through, It's a great thing, O my brothren, for feller just to lay His hand upon your shoulder in friend- ly sort of way! It makes a man feel queerish; it makes the teardrops start. An' you sort or feel a flutter in the region of the heart; You can't look-up and meet his eyes; you don't know what to say. When his hand- is on your shoulder in a friendly sort of way. O, the world's a curious compound, with its honey and its gall. With its care and bitter crosses, but a good world after all. An' a good God, must have, made it— leastwise, that is what I say. When a hand is on your shoulder in a friendly sort of way. —James Whitcomb Riley. Hobbled Mary. Mary had a little skirt.

There are few sins more revolting to the refined nature, than that of profanity and yet there is no sin perhaps, that is more common among men, and is a direct violation of the commandment, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him gullent who taken his name in vain." This command covers the whole ground of profanity; the taking of those thoughts and things that are sacred and associating them with the low and vile, instead of thinking pure thoughts and conversing upon themes that are high and calculated to lift one up into associations with the divine the mind is allowed to dwell upon the low and the conversation allowed to run to that which is vulgar. It is getting so that a man who respects the divine and who would have pure thoughts cannot ride in the smoker on any of our railroad trains without being shocked by the vile language he is compelled to hear. There is absolutely no profit in profanity. No one, not even one who is himself profane thinks any more of a man because he swears. And every profane man no matter what his other traits of character may be, is less thought of by those that think pure thoughts and speak pure words. The man who swears just for the pleasure of hearing himself swear finds pleasure on a very low plane of life; and who thinks it necessary to confirm his word with an oath certainly thinks the people have very little confidence in his word. The little boys on the streets learn to swear from the men and if one has learned to swear from you you have caused a blot on his character that will possibly follow him through life. But men who are degraded enough to swear are too degraded to care much for the well being of the boy. Decent people soon lose respect for the profane swearer and if he continues to be profane long he will lose respect for himself. No man can show one particle of good that comes from profanity. Temperance Topics The Washington breweries have recently restricted their workmen to two glasses of beer a day. They are still talking about the way the prohibitionists restrict personal liberty by stopping the sale of beer. The superintendent of the Milwaukee poorhouse said recently: "The saloons are responsible for more than two-thirds of Milwaukee's paupera." The police of Delaware, Ohio, only made seven arrests during the month of July as a result of "no saloons." Governor Stubbs, of Kansas, says: "On my honor as a man, and upon my word as the chief executive of nearly 2,000,000 sovereign people, I say to you that the statement that prohibition in Kansas is a mockery is infamously conceived and maliciously false." The detectives of Atlanta are doing good work. Recently eight blind tigers were caught in one night. The city council ought to appropriate $5,000 for this work. Dabney Daugherty, of Rome, Ga., was recently fined $200 by Recorder Yancey 'for selling whiskey in that city. J. W. Morrison, president of the Washington Liquor Dealers' association, said recently in an address: "If aspirants for office are known to be opposed to our welfare, move heaven and hell to defeat them. Do not allow them to escape—they are breeders of trouble and must be exterminated." This language is a fair expression of the lawless spirit that controls the average liquor advocate. It is reported by the liquor press that Denver has gone wet again. The facts show that 55 per cent. of the city is dry. Ask any man who favors the liquor business or the saloons to tell you what good there is in the liquor business to the community, then watch him squirm or have an important engagement somewhere at that very moment. An ex-saloonkeeper says that "the mass of saloons do not live on salaried people, much less get rich off of them. Nearly all the trade and profit comes from the poor working classes. If the liquor trade depended upon the salaried class for support it would soon be a thing of the past. The state legislature of Texas has passed a bill which prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors anywhere within ten miles of any state educational institution. The Grand Rapids (Mich.) News says that buttermilk has had the lead over every drink sold this summer in that town. It is fast becoming the national drink of America. Dr. Eyman, of Ohio, superintendent of the Massillon state hospital for the insand, declares that out of every half million persons who are saloon patrons, 25,000 become demens. DOCTORS FAILED Suffered - Several Years With Kidney Trouble, "Perma Cured Me." Suffered - Several Years With Kidney Trouble, "Perma Cured Me." --- Mr. John N. Watkins, 3133 Shenan doah Ave. St. Louis, Mo. writes: "Among all the greatly advertised medicines for kidney and bladder trouble there is nothing he equals. Peruna. I suffered for several years with this trouble, spent hundreds of dollars on doctors and medicine and all to no purpose until took Peruna. "One bottle did me more good than all Mr. John N. Watkins, the others put together, as they only polished my system. Peruna. cured me. I used it for four months before a comedic treat was accomplished, but I truly felt useful. The least I can do in return is to acknowledge the merits of Peruna, which I take pleasure in now doing." Bladder Trouble. Mr. C. B. Newhof, 10 Delaware street, Albany, N. Y., writes: "Since my advanced age I find that I have been frequently troubled with allergies. The bladder seemed irritated and itching. The catarrh it was catarrh caused by a protracted cold which would be difficult to overcome on account of my advanced years. I took Peruna, hardly daring to believe that I was helped, but found my relief that I was not. The irritation gradually subsided, and the urinary difficulties passed away. I have enjoyed excellent health now for the past seven months. I enjoy my health so soundly, and am as well as I was two years ago. I give all praise to Peruna." The difference it may save your life. Cathartics, bird shot and cannon ball pillas—tea spoon doses of cathartic medicines all depend on irritation of the bowels until they sweat enough to move. Cascarets strengthen the bowel muscles so they creep and crawl naturally. This means a cure and only through Cascarets can you get it quickly and naturally. Cascarets—100 box—week's treatment in the world—million boxes a month. Carl Schurz was dining one night with a man who had written a book of poems, so called, and who was pleased with himself. The poet was discoursing on the time-worn topic of politics of the men who take office. "I consider politics and politicians beneath my notice," he said. "I do not care for office. I wouldn't be a senator or cabinet officer, and I doubt if I could be tempted by the offer of the presidency. For the matter of that, I would rather be known as a third-rate poet than a first-rate statesman. "Well, aren't you?" Schurz shouted at him. The Winning Candidate Two candidates for the same office came into a certain town one day. The one called at a house where a little girl came to the door. Said he: "Sissie, will you please bring me a glass of water?" Having brought the water, he gave her some candy and asked: "Did the man ahead of me give you candy?" "Yes, sir." Then he gave her a nickel and said: "Did he give you money?" "Yes, sir; he gave me ten cents." Then, picking her up, he kissed her and said: "Did he kiss you?" "Yes, sir, and he kissed mamma, too!" Scant Pasturage. "I am afraid that moths will got into my bathing suit," said Maude. "It would be a shame," replied Maymie. "The poor things would starve to death." HEALTH AND INCOME Both Kept Up on Scientific Food. Good sturdy health helps one a lot to make money. With the loss of health one's income is liable to shrink, if not entirely 1wndle away. When a young lady has to make her own living, good health is her best asset. "I am alone in the world," writes a Chicago girl, "dependent on my own efforts for my living. I am a clerk, and about two years ago through close application to work and a boarding-house diet, I became a nervous invalid, and got so bad off it was almost impossible for me to stay in the office a half day at a time. "A friend suggested to me the idea of trying Grape-Nuts food which I did, making it a large part of at least two meals a day. "Today, I am free from brain-tire, dyspepsia, and all the ills of an overworked and improperly nourished brain and body. To Grape-Nuts I owe the recovery of my health, and the ability to retain my position and income. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter!

This Conference is of parti- cular value to our people, as it deals directly with the problems of agriculture which confront the great majority of us who live in the rural districts, The careful and paws taking manner in which these meetings have been eonduct- ed in the past, forces us to recom- mend them to’ all of our people who can find time to attend shem. We wish for them a large attend- ‘ance and much success. Savannsh’s bid for the next Grand Prize races in 1911 will no doubt meet with the hearty ap- proval from the authorities of the Automobile Association of Ameri- ca. For it ic hardly possible that they can turn us down, when we arranged and pulled off, Saturday before last, so easily the greatest and most successful road races ever run in America. But not on- ly are we looking foward with much hops to the announcement that we shall be awarded these races but we are expecting to se- cure also the next Vanderbilt races which were so poorly manag- edup in Long Island month before last. With but the word that these two affairs shall be held here next year and they are already a ‘cine: Not since the gala season follow- ing inthe wake of the Spanish- American war when a whole army corps was mustered out of service here has the city taken on such a pronounced military air as was the case during the exercises of the latter part of this week.

Business and so- cial life was boomed to the utmost and Sayanhah will long have reas- on to rejoice over the boost which she has gained by these few days of pleasure. It is the kind of ad- yertising we need to make the city prominent before the eyes of the country and with a few more such affairs held in the near future we shall soon come into our own. Last week there appeared in our midst a gentleman who is the so- liciting agent for a new enterprise among our people. New n0 t be- cause it is encompassing the details of a great many concerns of a sim- ilar character already engaged in , by us, but because it is adding to them features of infinite larger re- sources and théreby giving to us the first life insurance company ev- er undertaken by Negroes. This stupendous enterprise entails a large outlay of money in the form of a security with the state authorities. In fact, one hundred thousand ($100,000.00) dollars must be paid in’ deposits of good faith before the company will be able to do business, Its a great mount of money to be gotten to- gether and yet success seems to be within the grasp of the men fur- thering this project and when the last day of January arrives we have reasons to believe that the company will be a certainty. The way our people are rallying to the support of the men who are at the head of this business enterprise speaks well for their loyalty and immeasurably more for the master- ly manner in which the managers of this company are placing this matter before the people. It sim- ply shows that when tho people at large belisye they are following men of honesty, integrity and busi- ness tact they will go the limit. Yes, we honestly believe that the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta will be a success and we recommend it to all race loving Negroes who see the wisdom of in- ‘vesting in this’sort of enterprise. | The sudden physical collapse of the present pugilistic champion of the world has come as 2 thunder- bolt out of a clear sky. Little were the lovers of the fistic arena prepared for such unwelcomed news, especially coming as it does but shortly after the high commend- ation passed upon him by the physi- cal trainers of probably the highest university of our country when he was making an examination of him to find out whether or not the re- ports circulated about this black marvel of physical strength and endurance were true, So with fi- nal judgement passed upon him as being in perfect condition we were eapecting this physieat idet of the race would at least, with prudence and careful nursing of his wonder- physique, be able to remain at the head of the pugilistic world for many years, undisturbed and unmolested by any of the pretend- ers to the throna which he acquir- ed Jast summer at Reno by virtue of his victory over the pride of the white race. And in this ex- pectation we have reason to believe we Should have been éasily satis- fied but for the fact that instead of sticking to the game over which he was absolute king and master he undertook to add new laurels unto his already great achieve- ments by branching out into new fields of conquest. But the ‘mis- take of this dicision is already too apparent. His has been the same fate of other men before him who haye forsaken the tried and known paths of life to stumble upon roads unknown and for which they were not fitted. Ofcourse, we are not aware of the full extent of the ail- ment of our worthy hero and are earnestly in hopes that the reports have been exaggerated but, true or otherwise his failure to make good in these new endeavors will have its bearing‘upon our people and impress upon them the folly of trying todd too many things in- stead of centering their minds on some one particular secomplish- ment. .

A Letter From ‘Awl Inn.”* ‘New York City Nov. 21, 1910. Dear Mr. Editor: , - Awhole train load of thoughts came trooping through my mind last Friday morning as I talked and shook hands with Col. Roosevelt. “Fine” and “per- Tectly fine” were the terms, most used by hith on that occasion which lasted a half minute. It was the first visit the Colonel had made to his office since the election. He was looking well and ex. tremely active. Now, I am not a prophet nor the son of a prophet, yet, in the only talk which I made at the Sunday Club last summer, I did actually foretell the outcome of the fall elections. ‘The prevailing high prices of food ae the saiicre of ihe epublican party to carry out the pledge of Peducing The tariff, the fight between the stand-patters and the progressives; the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, the “‘weak-kneed policy of President Taft, the fight between Roosevelt and the Old Guard, are some of the many rea- sons which have given the Democrats ihe upper hand in the House of Repre sentatives as well, as the control ‘of many states which are usually Republi- can. But the most noticeable thing about the’election was the actual independent Yoting on the part of the colored man. The bid by the Democrats for the color- ed vote was very strony in the East, as well as_in Missouri, Tennessee, and Ohio. Hereafter, it’ means argument and not sentiment which will govern the vote of the colored man. Imake the Solletog predictions on the provision that the Democrats suc- ceed in actually reducing the tariff: (1) Woodrow Wilson will be the choice of the Democrats for the presidency, (2) Taft, will, not be renominated, (3) Hughes, if nominated, will defeat, and is the-only man who can defeat Wilson, (4) Regardless of whois nominated, who is elected, what events happen, ‘what changes might take place in the weath- er, whether the tariff be reduced or not, whether the grand-father clause be de d constitutional or not, whether war be declared between Germany and England, or between Japan and tho United States, and regardless of all the “whether” which can be spoken from now to infinity, I predict that the Negro will continue ‘climbing, the ladder of civilization until the very top is reech- ed, and there and then breathing in the fresh air of freedom, bathing in the poy Eo SB oS Ble NEO 0c BSe hee eS Sera FETE) fs Rea Se — a a say: ea ge eRe. 5 eS oe es H nea as te H q Gg FR 4 Pog ee ry areca eS ed Fae rae r Fe Boe era ete Ree a Eee) ; Pe RISEN, goa bc <3 c eee a ai Ps Kae OO PaO) areas PCT Deeeatan"5~> Sec eer yang oy + fash sil Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Garey of Newberry, S, C., announce the engagement of their niece Miss Vinnie Johnson of that city to Mr P.L.

The writer witness- edthe grand parade in New York two years ago at the occasion of the Centen- ary of the Archdiocese; and he was de lighted to see that the one hundred col- ored men of St. Benedict's Church, New York, got a place of honor in that splen- did parade. The N. Y. Sun remarked the next day that no body of men got a more rousing reception “all .along the line than “thePope’s colored regiment.”” Three months ago at the Eucharistic Procession at Montreal, the grandest Catholic demonstration ever witnessed in this country, when 200,000 men took part in the procession‘and 1500,000 per- sons were lined up all along the streets, a colored delegation from New York had its place of honor, We mention these facts only to corroborate the just remarks made in the “Washington Bee” which the “Tribune” published in its last issue.

Madame Rae Nicholas, the sweet soprano singer, has been the leading, lady of the "Black American Troubadours" for four seasons. Mgr. Stiles does not spare any pains in trying to please his patrons. School Notice. Change of Name What was once the Savannah Baptist High School, East Broad and Anderson streets, is now the Forest City High School same location. With its present corps of efficient teachers, the school is making substantial progress, and does not suffer in comparison with other schools of like character and aims. In connection with the day work, there will be a night school beginning Oct. 31st. This department will be under the same general management as the day session, with a teaching force fully competent. Herein, an opportunity is offered to those whose occupation or other considerations prevent them attending the day school, to get the rudiments and more of that which all men ought to have, an education that they might become what they ought to be. There will be also a Missionary training course during the evening period. This is to train young men and women how to do effective mission settlement work at home thereby developing the mis- sionary spirit and desire even unto the foreign fields. The work of this course is based upon a close sympathetic study of the lives of Christ, Paul and other great missionary spirits, with the "world for Christ" as our motto. This course will be under the direction and tutelage of one who is fully experienced and thoroughly trained. ff A Song For Two. This time it is to be a duet—the words and music complete—that will go with each and every copy of next Sunday's New York World—by all odds the greatest Magazine-Newspaper published in the United States, This song, well known and highly lauded as the "Pastoral Duet" from "Madame Troubadour" now playing at the Lyric theater, New York City, will prove well worthy of a place in your music collection.

Use good fit as long as you have $18,000 SUIT They are the best in the 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. Drop in and see our G. C. CARTER 20-22 W. STATE ST.

It was so bad that I couldn't walk sometimes for a week. I tried doctors' medicine and had a rubber bandage for my leg, and bought everything that I heard of, but they all did me no good, until at last I was persuaded to try Sloan's Liniment. The first application helped it, and in two weeks my leg was well."—A. L. HUNTER, of Hunter, Ala. Good for Athletes. Mr. K. GILMAN, instructor of athletics, 417 Warren St., Roxbury, Mass., says: "I have used SLOAN'S LINIMENT with great success in cases of extreme fatigue after physical exertion, when an ordinary rub-down would not make any impression."

Snowdrift is the most healthful article known for taking the place of hog lard. It is composed of highly refined cotton seed oil, and a slight proportion of beef fat. Snowdrift Hogless Lard is sold by all progressive dealers, and imitated by many unprogressive manufacturers.

New Orleans New York Chicago Savannah The wit of Bishop Seth Ward amuses Nashville frequently. Bishop Ward, in company with two senators, came forth from a Nashville reception the other day and entered a waiting motor car. "Ah, bishop," said one of his companions, "you are not like your master. He was content to ride an ass." "Yes," and so should I be," Bishop "Yes," and so should I be," Bishop Ward answered, "but there's no such animal to be got nowadays. They make them, all senators." There's many a penitent man in the penitentiary. AN EFFECTIVE HOME MADE KIDNEY AND BACKACHE CURE Easily Prepared Medicine Which Is Said to Regulate the Kidneys and End Backache. To make up enough of the "Dandelion Mixture" which is claimed to be a prompt cure for Backache and Kidney and Bladder trouble, get from any good Prescription Pharmacist one-half ounce fluid extract Dandelion; one ounce Kargon Compound and three ounces Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. Those who have tried it say it acts gently but thoroughly on the Kidneys and entire urinary system, relieving the most severe Backache at once. A well-known medical authority recommends the prescription to be taken the moment you suspect any Kidney, Bladder or Urinary disorder or feel a constant dull Backache, or if the urine is thick, cloudy, offensive or full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a scalding sensation; or for too frequent urination during the night. This is a real harmless vegetable mixture which could not cause injury to anyone and the relief which is said to immediately follow its use is a revelation to men and women who suffer from Backache, Kidney trouble or any form of Urinary disorder. This is surely worth trying, as it is easily mixed at home or any drugstist will do it for you, and doesn't cost much. The Farm Prof. N. L Duncan, special agent of the United States department of agriculture, gives these rules to go by in the improvement of corn by seed selection: The question of getting good, sound, pure seed of high yielding capacity is one of the great fundamental principles of better farming. With the same soil, fertilizers and cultivation, a farmer may very largely increase the yield of his crops and the profit from the farm by using good improved seed. You would not expect to get pure breed horses from Texas ponies, pure bred hogs from "razor backs" or pure bred Jersey cattle from scrubs. The same principle holds good in corn, cotton and other crops. To get the best crops and the best seed we must use improved seed. Go through your corn field as soon as it is mature and select your seed in the field, having the following points in mind: 1. Select only from two-eared plants. 2. Select from plants of medium height with ears three and one-half to four feet from the ground. 3. The plants should be strong, with well developed foliage. 4. The ears should be borne on ear shanks of medium length. See that ears are well covered over the tips with shuck or husk. 5. The ears should be well filled at butts and tips, the rows of grain close together, grains wedge-shaped and of good length, cobs medium in size. 6. The grain should be of uniform color and all cobs the same color. 7. The ear should taper from butt to tip little or none. About eight and one-half to nine inches around the ear, about three inches down from the finest quality. CATTLE BLOAT. A good many dairy cattle are lost from bloat. The following mixture will prevent bloat: Six pounds common table salt; one pound bicarbonate ot soda; mix throughly and place in a trough in the pasture where the cattle can go to it at any time. A bridle bit or rowel is effective as a preventive of bloat. Some folks take a piece of broom handle or something of the kind, tying a small rope around one end, putting the stick in the cow's head and tying to other of the stick. When affected with bloat a cow should be made to stand with the fore feet higher that the hind feet. With this treatment continued about one hour, an animal is relieved, and no bit or stick has to be used. The elevation should be at least one foot.—Field and Farm. TO REPAIR THE CARRIAGE TOP. Enameled leather will last a long time provided it is kept clean. It should be washed occasionally with castile or an oil soap and warm water. After the enamel has broken and scaled off the following is recommended: Clean the leather thoroughly with castile soap and warm water. Dry with a soft woolen cloth, and then apply a dressing made by melting 2 ounces of beef suet in a short pint or neats-foot oil, to which is added a coloring of drop black and a piece of beeswax as large as a thimble. Melt the beeswax and add the oil and suet to it, stirring through. Apply with a cotton cloth that is saturated with it and finish smoothly. Keep some on hand for an application to the carriage top about once in every four of five months.—Agricultural Eptomist. KEEPING SWEET · POTATOES. It is about time for digging sweet potatoes. Many farmers are asking how to keep them, or to propound some other question concerning the preservation of this favorite staple. 1. The potatoes must be thoroughly dried in the sun before they are banked, say three days. 2. They must be thoroughly ventilated so that the air can have free circulation through them. 3. Some people bank potatoes airtight and when accumulated moisture and a consequent raise in temperature causes decay and sprouting they wonder why their potatoes did not keep as well as a neighbor's who observed these three rules. Ordinarily one would not think it necessary to explain why potatoes ought to be thoroughly dried before banking, still it seems necessary. The nature of the potatoes in growth and formation easily shows that there will be a large accumulation of moisture, hence the necessity of airing.—Southern Floughman. "Never Say Die."

Now is a good time for the farmer to look out for chances to increase his ownership of live stock. Some reasons for keeping more live stock on the farms are these: 1. In the case of horses and mules, in order that we may have more farm power. It is useless to hope to accomplish the proper amount of work in a day or to work efficiently without increasing our farm power. 2. In the case of dairy cattle, to have more milk and butter in order that we may cut down on the extremely high meat bills. 3. In the case of beef cattle, in order that we may make the most economical use of the feed crops produced on the farm, may utilize more of the wasted lands, and may raise the humus content of the soil by the use of the manure produced. It is a great deal more profitable to drive corn to market on the hoof than to cart it there in a bag. 4. In the cases of hogs and poultry, to raise our own meat as cheaply as possible and also to make considerable cash out of the sale of eggs and young stock. There is another duty along this line that the intelligent farmer owes to his neighborhood. He ought to see that his influence is cast in favor of purebred animals, of animals of a particular breed for a particular purpose. If eggs are profitable at all times in his neighborhood, let him advise the importation of Leghorn chickens. If the meat breeds, such as the Langshans or Cochins are the most profitable, then advocate their introduction. If the dual purpose breeds, such as the Rhode Island reds or Plymouth rocks are the most profitable, by all means see that strains of these are introduced into the community.—Southern Ploughman. RICH MISSOURI BOTTOMS. The rich 'Missouri bottoms near Keokuk rival the far-famed Valley of the Nile in point of fertility. In its latest issue the Delta Sun, published at Alexandria, tells of J. G. Wood helping to husk three rows of corn sixty rods long on the Winkleman farm that measured twenty-four bushels strong. This would indicate 95 bushels per acre; he thinks his whole crop will make from sixty-five to seventy-five bushels per acre. At 50 cents a bushel this means from $32.50 to $37.50 per acre for his season's work. Of all men, farmers cultivating the fertile soil between the Mississippi and Des Moines rivers should be the last to demand a change of conditions.—Keokuk (ia.) 'Gate City.' Farm and Poultry Notes The Oklahoma agricultural experiment station is engaged, among other things, in experiments with a view to breeding distinct varieties of Bermuda grass for various specific purposes, such as, to be set on hillsides, roadsides and other places, in order to prevent erosion, for a pasture grass, for hay, for lawns or parks each strain to have distinct characteristics fitting it for the particular use named. It has been found that this grass breaks naturally into different types or varieties, and the purpose is to make some of them permanent. A good way to fatten poultry is to confine small flocks and feed boiled and mashed potatoes with corn meal and wheat bran or middlings.—Agricultural Epitomist. Where "college-bred" wheat has been used in Kansas for seed the yield per acre has been increased five bushels per acre. In Minnesota it has increased the yield 4.2 bushels per acre. By "college-bred" wheat we mean varieties of wheat produced by years of experiment at the experiment stations attached to the state agricultural colleges. Similar results might be shown in the case of corn. The seed so bred and distributed to farmers throughout the various states has produced these gratifying results. Are the hens out of the moulting period yet? Very few are, and, remember, that they need extra care and the best of feed to carry them through. A draft horse, which has been trained to a fast walking gait, will cover more ground with a heavy load and be in better condition at the end of the task, than if it has to trot some of the time to make up for slow walking. Although about 6,000 carloads of Georgia peaches were shipped during the season just closed, yet the crop was so abundant that the orchardists could not dispose of it all. At least ten carloads in the Americus region were distributed in wagon loads over the fields and plowed under for fertilizer or were given away locally. The crop will probably be light, next year, except where growers thinned out their fruit. Do not be discouraged by a few failures. They seem to be necessary in the poultry business. NEGROES' DUTY TO AFRICANS. Johnson City, Tenn.—(Special.)—The duty of the Negro church people of America towards their brethren in foreign fields was vividly and forcibly dwelt upon by Rev. W. W. Lucas, field secretary of the board of foreign missions of the Methodist Episcopal church before a large audience here attending the East Tennessee conference of that church, while the relation of the home missions to world evangelization was the subject discussed by the Rev. Ward Platt, of Philadelphia. Dr. Lucas is one of the most representative Negroes in the South and Dr. Ward has been for a long time interested in the evangelization and elevation of the colored people as carried on through the various agencies of the Methodist Episcopal church. Dr. Lucas, who made the principal address declared that the Negro in America would awaken to a full realization of his duty to his brethren in Africa as soon as he came to do more for the church and educational work at home. The conference was presided over by Bishop Luther B. Wilson of Philadelphia, who is one of the most prominent bishops in the Methodist Episcopal church. He is secretary of the board-of bishops and president of the National Anti-Saloon league. Little Things Worth Knowing It is proposed by the master of the Grand Central station in New York that it would be advisable for the railway companies; in their new plans, to provide a kissing room and require all osculation to be performed there, so that the concourse, doorways, platforms and gates be not congested by those who linger for the last good-bye. There is said to be now living only one real daughter of the Revolution. Mrs. Phoebe Maria Wooley Palmeter, aged ninety, at West Edmiston, N. Y. Her father was a private soldier, Jonathan Wooley, who served with Washington and in 1834 made "declaration" for a pension under the act of congress. In the "gold pantry" at Windsor castle is the gold tiger's head taken from Tippo Sahlb's throne in 1789. It is life size and the teeth and eyes are of rock crystal. Another relic captured at the same time is the jeweled bird called the uma, shaped like a pigeon, with a peacock tail. The feathers blaze with precious stones and a great emerald hangs from its breast. According to an old Indian legend whoever owns this bird will rule India. Until quite recently beds were unknown in many Turkish houses, quilts and mattresses being spread upon the floor or upon benches. Now, however, they are coming into more general use. The oil prospecting expeditions of Prince Radizwell left Vladivostok for Alexandrofsk, Sakhalin island, for examining the oil fields to the north of Timn river, which flows into Nabil bay. Another expedition, backed by a British concern in Shanghai, is now on its way to Sakhalin to examine the Irkutsk oil fields. Mrs. Lillian Stone, in a suit against her husband for the support of their child, testified in a Chicago court that $50 a week is the proper cost for a seven-weeks-old baby. Her husband is worth half a million. All the lawyers present were bachelors and after court they promptly formed a bachelors' club. The Roman boat discovered in the Thames in excavating for a new county hall, London, through coins evidently dropped by accident through chinks in its deck, has been proved to belong to the period of Carausius, who ruled as emperor in Britain seven years, and was murdered in London at the end of the third century by Allectus. It was probably a ferry-boat. In Germany the father is head of the family, in France the mother, in England the eldest son, in America the daughter. A plan is on foot to establish farms for valuable fur-bearing animals in the forests of Canada. The last reports concerning Gen. Ben Viljoen, the Boer soldier who settled, with his family, in New Mexico, after the Boer war, were to the effect that he had become an American citizen. If he should accept the offer now made by the new government of South Africa, he would have to become a British subject again, for an alien could hardly serve as assistant minister of native affairs under Premier Botha. The approximate number of rubber plantations in Tabasco and northern Chilapas is about 35, representing a total acreage of 350,000 to 400,000 acres. A rough estimate of the number of rubber trees cultivated thereon is 10,000,000 to 12,000,000. One of the churches near the crest of Murray Hill, New York, has adopted a street number so that strangers may find it with no more difficulty than they encounter in reaching a shop they may be looking for. The church is now indicated in the directory by its number in Fifth avenue. The Wretchedness of Constipation Can quickly be overcome by CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS.

Invade Untraveled Arctic and Have to Do Best They Can for Food—Take Blubber Straight With Side Dishes of Sealskin. New York—Even shoestrings look good to hungry men in the arctic, especially if their food caches have been raided and ruined by bears and wolverines. Reports received by Herman C. Bumpus, director of the Museum of Natural History, from Dr. Rudolph Anderson and Vihljahlmar Steffansson show that the two scientists have suffered privations which made meals of leather and oil seem luxurious. The Anderson-Steffansson party, which is making extended ethnological and zoological collections on the shores of arctic America for the museum, have traveled 40 miles east of the Mackenzie river, through regions hitherto untraversed by explorers. In the letters the explorers tell of a trying journey up the Horton river. Six persons were in the party and they carried provisions for two days. The trip took 15 days and the hunting was bad. The party ate whale tongue, which, owing to its fibrous nature and the presence of sea salt, was, to say the least, unpalatable. When the tongue was gone they ate sealskins, deerskins, sole leather and the tough skin laces used on their snow shoes. Then there was seal oil, about a teaspoonful a day for each man, to keep away the ravages of hunger. It was taken with deerskin or feathers, as few of the men could stand it "straight." Finally somebody found a partly eaten carcass of a caribou, which supplied meat for three or four meals. When it was gone the men lived on whitefish blubber taken "straight" and a spoonful each of portions of the animal's stomach taken with oil at each meal. The stomach contained a peck of well-masticated moss and grass. It was of small nutritive value, but did wonders in helping the members of the expedition to eat the oil. --- OPE MES At id Property Opene Trea TLE FA $85 Up VN, $5.00 Interest for One Ye ar Fare from any part of the The F. C. office Opposite Sandfly Stat VALUE OF MANURE SPREADER OPENING SALE FOR THE SEASON OF 1910-1911 OF At Sandfly Station The F.C. Becker Realty Company Extremely Profitable Farm Implement Where Small Number of Stock Is Kept—Figures Prove. Our experience throughout the country has proven that a load of manure on any farm can be made to cover twice as much ground, and such ground as is covered be made to produce nearly twice the results that it would be possible to secure from hand distribution. Therefore, a man need have but a very small amount of stock on a forty-acre farm to make a manure spreader an extremely paying investment, even though he base the value of the manure at no more than $1 per load when distributed by hand, says a writer in an exchange. If a manure spread costs $75 to $125, we can allow 10 per cent. for depreciation and 7 per cent. for investment, making a total of 17 per cent. that the spreader will cost. We have seen it demonstrated repeatedly and believe the experimental stations will bear out our statement when we say that a good manure spreader, by reason of its doubling the area and doubling the results from the area over hand distribution, will make a load of manure that is worth $1 distributed by hand worth $4 when distributed with a good machine. On this basis, and considering that no forty-acre farm under any sort of ordinary conditions ought to produce less than twenty-five loads per annum, we figure an increased value of the manure amounting to $75, as against an annual spreader cost of $17. This looks like phenomenal results, but it is the record of careful spreader uses all over the country, and it is the fundamental principle that has stood behind the greatly increasing spreader trade that has been making itself felt in the last five years. Some people may question our statement as to the large increase from a load of manure when properly distributed by a good machine over the hand distribution, but those who have tried it and tried it most carefully will agree with us. Boosta for the Aslatica. Roosts for Brahmas or Cochins should not be more than a foot above ground. Being very heavy birds, they cannot easily fly, and it is better that they should not be compelled to. Some breeders do not allow them to roost at all, but instead heavily bed the floor of the pen and allow the fowls to squat wherever they feel inclined. But in allowing them to roost on the floor case should be taken that there are no drafts, which is often the case if the doors do not fit tightly. Leaves or cut straw make good bedding, for such fowls, and if each morning the droppings are collected the birds will do as well on the floor as on the roosts. FOR SALE!

Never allow the laying hens, or in fact any poultry, to stand around on damp, cold floors. Straw, chaff, or leaves are cheap. Some people say they have had good success by feeding corn exclusively, but it is a fact that hens cannot thrive on this feed alone many months at a time. Red pepper and other stimulating food may have, a temporary effect on the laying efforts of a hen, but it is like giving whisky to a man. When the effects wear off they are in a worse condition than before. Always remember that skim-milk is hard to beat in the feeding ration. Turkeys do better when not confined in close houses. An open shed is a very good place for turkeys to roost, except in cold weather. Have the poultry house handy to the barnyard or straw stack. They will pick up half their living around such places and keep happy by the exercise they have in the scratching. Keeps Son's Body 5 Years. Greenville, Miss.—A son, dead five years and still a member of the family, is the remarkable condition existing in the family of A. F. Free, a fisherman, who has been camping on the Mississippi river twenty-five miles above this city. While the family was in the north the son died and the father was desirou of taking the body to the old home in Alabama, but not being able to pay for transportation he decided to take the body with him on his way south. After having the body embalmed Free built a boat of catalpa wood large enough to accommodate the coffin and covered it with a waterproof covering, and after placing the body on board started on his southern trip. Circumstances prevented Free from carrying out his idea for burying his son, and in his meanderings up and down the river with his family he has always kept the body with him.

WINTER CARE OF BROOD SOW Success in Pork Production is Largely Affected by Attention Given to Animal's Health. Success in pork production is largely affected by the attention given to the health and comfort of the brood sow. She should always, especially in winter, be housed in a warm, comfortable place. Preferably this will be a cot well supplied with straw, and having a door which swings both ways, always closing when the sow passes in or out. This cot may well be located at some distance from the feeding place, so that she will get the necessary exercise in running to and fro. Her food should consist largely of bulky foods, such as milk, roots and clover hay, which will keep her in good condition without fattening. As farrowing time approaches the bulk should be cut down, less water should be given, and more protein and oily feeds should be fed, so as to keep the sow in a laxative condition. She should be disturbed as little as possible. If she is allowed to get nervous or excited, the effect may be seen upon the litter, in an excitable temperament which lessens the rapidity of their growth. There is plenty of trouble in this world to give every man a liberal share, so shoulder yours and don't try to unload it on someone else.
