Gainesville, Ga—(Special)—Based on one of the most poetic sentiments Growing out of the civil war, the loy- hity of the slaves of the old Confed- tracy, an assoclation has just been ‘organized in this city, with Mra. Hel- en Dortch Longstreet, widow of Gen- eral James G. Longstreet, as presl- liént for the purpose of erecting on the Rapltol grounds at Atlanta a monw ‘ment to the memory of taese humble, ‘out faithful, servitors. ; The style of the organization is #Slaves of the Soutaern Confederacy Monument Association.” The , vice president is Mrs. W. H. Felton, Geor- la’s “grand old woman,” of Carters- ville. The secretary {s Miss Ella M. Powell, formefly of Atlanta, but now resident in New York city, The su- pervising treasurer is W. J. Speer, treasurer-elect of Georgia. Governor Joseph Mf. Brown is chairman of the advisory committee, and Mrs. Lollie Belle Wylie of Atlanta has been chosen as historian. . , The movement, first took definite Snape as the result of a suggestion ‘made In a speech delivered by Mrs. Longstreet at Carnesville at the dedl- ‘cation of a Confederate monument at that place. : In glowing terms, the widow of the great Confederate chieftain thus sum marized the obligation of tho south to the memory of the slave, and ap- pealed for a fitting monument to re- cord the appreciation of posterity. “Toe daughters of Dixie, in an age of materialism, aro’ geeping vigil about the fires of a vanishing senti- ment, They havo dotted this south- ern country, from the Potomac to the Ria Grande, with monuments to the oldiers of the south. “But there is another monument I ope the women of the south will jtake of, with all their matchless devo- ion, their unconquerable courage that ‘i may lvé to see a monument at ey- lery capital in the south to the slaves c the Confederacy. They wrote a tory of devotion and loyalty that has ‘no parallel in the history of man. {Walle thelr masters were engaged in hnat struggle, the results of which would leave a helpless race free or in ‘shackles, they worked for, guarded land defended the women and children f the Confederacy with a fidelity that should be recorded in letters of gold ‘across the bosom of the stars:’ "The soutnern soldier on the dla- nt field went down beneath the red tide of battle,’ soothed by the know!- ledge that a black man’s loyalty stood ard at his hearthstone. No story like it has ever been written in the lnistory of warfare. “T want the noble women of this ounty—one of the first counties set- tied in this migaty commonwealth ter the landing on, our shores of that lmost pitturesque figure on our early history, Jemes Edward Oglethorpe— to start‘a movement to erect on the capitol grounds in Atlanta a monu- ment to the slaves of the Confeder- ‘acy. Other Georgia counties will fol- jow your lead and other southern states will follow the lead of the Em- ‘pire State of the South.

Several departments were provided for in the organic act. Among them was the Law Department. The purpose of the founders was to build a great American University where the lately emancipated slave and the poor whites of the South might be educated at the expense of the National government and thus aid in destroying the bitter hatred which had formerly existed between the two elements of the Southland. It was the highest conception that Charles Sumner had given to the cause of humanity; the greatest piece of constructive statesmanship to nation had yet seen. No matter, for this discussion, that the university has been made the school for Negroes, and not for the purposes of its divine conception. It will not profit us now to remind the preachers and teachers of caste that they have been unworthy of their trust; that they have been recreant of their duty to the greatest cause of our time. They are to busy to pause and reflect, but no matter now. The University is writing her own history in her contributions to the sum of human progress and human good. From all her departments she has sent forth men and women who have done a noble work in the cause of mankind. No single section of the country can claim all the heroes of the strife. But the West feels an especial pride in the men who have gone out from the Law Department of Howard University, for they have made their marks, not alone for themselves, but for their people and their time. Alumni of the Law Department of Howard University are now in nearly every state of the west. And wherever they are they are contributing their share to the sum of human progress. In each state they are the men who are setting the standard for civic betterment and are leading their race in both thought and action. They are not only prominent members of the bar in their respective states as Negroes, but as men. They take part in some of the most important litigation before the courts. They have some of the best practice there is in the courts, from real estate and title cases and damage cases, of all classes to corporation cases. James S. Black of Seattle, Washington, is not only the leading colored lawyer of his state, but one of the best lawyers of the Pacific coast. George G. Ross, of Denver, Col., is leading all the men of his state at the bar and in the forum of public opinion. He is regarded by Judge Ben B. Lindsay and the leaders of thought, as the foremost Negro of his state. H. J. Pinkett is the accepted apostle and leader of his race in all those things which make for civic righteousness. He is not alone the leading colored member of the bar in Nebraska, but the accepted champion of the great cause of temperance which is now occupying the largest place In the public affairs of Nebraska. More than that, he has made more rapid headway at the bar than has any alumnus of Howard University in its history, and ranks with the best legal talent of his state. George H. Woodson of Iowa, is to that state what Booker T. Washington is to Alabama. He is the leading criminal lawyer of Iowa, and one of her foremost and most successful men. Ed Wilson and Wm. L. Houston of Illinois, are making their marks at the bar. Perhaps there is no loftier character in American than either Ed "Brier-root" pipes are really made from bruyere root, which is the root of the white heath of the Mediterranean. Corsica supplies most of the material. Women who use kerosene lamps may be glad to know that they will give a brighter light if the wicks are soaked in vinegar and dried before they are used. All Russians have a weakness for handsome footwear, and the result is that there are more pairs of showy boots worn in the caar's empire than anywhere else on earth. This preference extends to the women as well as the men. Horseradish contains a higher percentage of sulphur than any other vegetable food, spinach, ranking next. Pumpkin leads for phosphorous, while radishes are rich in iron. The first English bushel-measure was fixed at eight gallons of wheat during the reign of Henry VIII.

Russia baskets are made of the felt hair of hares. Wilson or H. J. Pinkett, whose lives from childhood to manhood have been fraught with the highest tenets of honor. These men of the west influence, not only their own states, but their sections. They are the great forces who are fighting for the public weal, and against odds which only true men can overcome. If we were to take from the west what these men have contributed and are contributing the brightest chapters in the history of the race would be erased. In setting this list down it has been the purpose to only give examples: numbers have, therefore, been passed over who are reflecting the highest credit on Howard University, their states and their time. All these men have eschewed selfishness and have placed themselves upon the altar of the great cause of the century that they may contribute their share toward its wise solution. Through these men, therefore, Howard University has justified her existence in the great west. She has justified the worth of the law department and made it plain to this great and growing section of the greatest nation on earth that the nation may wisely pay the debt she owes the Negro through a liberal and magnanimous treatment of this department which shows for the service rendered through the contributions to the higher and the highest development of our civilization. This word has been here set down, because the tendency of the times is to overlook the Negro lawyer who is serving his country and his time, and to only call attention to the need of hygiene among Negroes, and the wisdom of colored physicians teaching that science for the benefit of the whites who are to be waited upon by the blacks. It is a story told to emphasize the necessity and the possibility of the Negro lawyer; a necessity more pressing as the years come and go, equal almost to the despairing cry for the Negro minister who has intellectual and moral training. Thus much has this law Department done, and it is humbly placed before the view of the race with the hope that it may inspire some man to go forth to win a place for himself and his race for all time to come. LEX SUPREMA EST (Law is Supreme), INDEED. AUTUMN EVE. The grove grows still And naught is heard But purling rill And ev'ning bird.

Her hair ain't long and it ain't straight, And still it isn't nappy; But if it wuz, since she's my gal, I'm happy. MY GAL. She ain't no pumpkin colored gal, Yet still she isn't shady; And if she wuz, don't count—for She's my lady. She ain't in high society, Nor flirts with them above her; But what's the use? She loves me and I love her. THE WAY TO WIN. Strike while the iron is heated, Pause and the iron is cold; If you strike too late on a hardened plate The weld will never hold.

Prompt Response to Bold Move of President Vall—"Accuracy" Reduced Western Union's Surplus $13,000,000—"Publicity" Restored Confidence and Its Stock Went Up. Are the great financiers of the country beginning to see a new light? Time was, until recently in fact, when the men at the head of the big corporations "kept their business to themselves," as far as the law would allow. Capable men at the head of the big concerns, long realized the weakness of their position, but what was needed obviously, as in all great reforms, was an unmistakable occasion, and a courageous man. The occasion, arose in the purchase of the Western Union Telegraph company by the American Telephone and Telegraph company, and the man appeared in Theodore N. Vall, President of the purchasing corporation. It was last December when public announcement was made that the Gould holdings of Western Union had been taken over by the Telephone company. On account of the high esteem in which the management of the telephone company is so generally held, great things were predicted as a result of the absorption of Western Union. By the press of the country the "deal" was most favorably commented on, it being widely pointed out that under the direction of such men as Theodore N. Vall and his associates, the telegraph company was bound soon to work itself into a position where it could offer the public far more efficient service than it had ever before been able to offer. But a very few months had elapsed when it became apparent to the new management that a modern and up-to-date appraisal of the company's assets would make possible a far greater degree of efficiency of operation. "Here," they said to themselves, "we've bought control of this property and we know it's immensely valuable, but we don't know just how valuable. These appraisals of real estate and securities owned were made a long time ago. If we have a complete inventory made of every thing we've got we can announce the facts to the public, start a new set of books, and begin our responsibility to stockholders right there." How Inventory Was Taken: The most expert accountants and appraisers to be had were put at the task. Their labors lasted over eight months. Their report and its publication by the company marks an epoch in finance. It began by recommending an adjustment of the difference between the appraised and book* values by a charge of $5,595,089 against surplus. Book values of securities held were reduced to market values, bad and doubtful accounts were "charged off," an allowance of $2,000,000 was made for "depreciation," another of $500,000 for "reserve," and so on, until the old surplus of $18,867,000 came down to $5,136,000. It required courage, the publication of this statement to stockholders, saying in effect: "The property of your company has been revalued: the surplus isn't nineteen millions, as you have been led to believe, but five millions," but it was the truth, and President Vall did not flinch. "Accuracy and publicity," he declared, was essential. "The stockholder has a right to know. The shares of this company are scattered from one end of the Union to the other. This is more than a private corporation. It is a great national enterprise. The public is entitled to the facts." The report was ordered published forthwith. Financiers of the old school and speculators generally were agast. What would happen? Would the bottom drop out of Western Union when the shareholders realized that their propetry was worth $13,000,000 less than they had supposed? But the amazing thing happened. The stock went up and stayed up. The public had responded to this remarkable display of frankness and confidence; to the new motto, "Accuracy and Publicity." The full significance of the action of the new board is stated concisely by Harper's Weekly in these words: "Is this policy of publicity and of open-handed dealing with shareholders and public the forerunner of a similar movement on the part of other big corporations? Certainly it is to be hoped that it is. In the case of these big companies, dependent upon public patronage and doing business under public franchise, can there be any question of the right of the people to know? "That right is being recognized. It is recognized now in this epochal act on the part of the telephone and telegraph interests. It is the dawn of a new era in corporation finance." Timeliness. All measures of reformation are effective in exact proportion to their timeliness; partial decay may be cut away and cleansed; incipient error corrected; but there is a point at which corruption can no more be stayed, nor wandering recalled. It has been the manner of modern philanthropy to remain passive until that precise period, and to leave the sick to perish, and the foolish to stray, while it spent itself in frantic exertions to raise the dead, and reform the dust—Ruskin. initiating the next highest number above twenty, $35.00 in gold; and to the Lodge initiating the third highest number, $15.00.

DELEGATES AT THE NATIONAL CONVENTION ADOPT IMPOR- TANT RESOLUTION. NEED OF ACTIVE EFFORT International, State and Provincial Committees Urged to Help Toronto, Canada. — (Special.)—At the Detroit convention held in 1868 a colored delegate from the New York Colored association in addressing the convention said he had been receivel by the convention as "a man and a brother." This declaration was never more fully appreciated by any group of colored men attending the convention than recently in Toronto at the Thirty-seventh International convention. During the session the president made the following comment: "Wonderful unity. Men of many Christian churches, of many nations, of different races; white, black, yellow, red; of different classes socially, educationally, etc.; all men of strong convictions and feelings, and yet, not a jar of discord." The views expressed by the president of the convention fully characterizes this great gathering of representative men from every section of the American continent with representatives from the remote parts of the earth. This convention meets every three years. All associations of the United States and Canada, regardless of color, have the privilege of representation. The recent meeting was of especial interest to us as a race, for it was in Toronto thirty-four years ago that the convention fully considered the work among colored men which resulted in a liberal subscription being made by delegates present. Sir George Williams of London, England, founder of the association, was present and gave $100 for the colored work, the only gift he ever made to an American association. At this convention there was no colored delegate, although a number attended, previous conventions beginning with 1867 at Montreal. Kind hearted Christian white men of the south and north plead the cause of the Negro, and it is interesting to note that southern men who were true friends made the first appeal. They were ably seconded by sympathetic men from the north and many on both sides had fought against each other in the great American conflict. At the convention just closed there were eighteen colored delegates present, covering a territory extending from New York to New Orleans; and as far west as Iowa. A number of the men were trained secretaries, giving their entire time to this important work among colored men. The work had grown in the thirty-four years from a few feeble efforts to one hundred and thirty-five associations with twelve thousand members. At this convention Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., the organizer of the two associations, namely, New York and Augusta, Ga., represented the colored delegates on the program. No man who appeared on the platform was more heartily received, and no man's address was more favorably commented upon by all the delegates than his. His appeal for the Christian brotherhood which would exemplify practical Christianity, including every race, was simply wonderful. The daily press gave a very full report of Doctor Walker's interesting address. It was a straightforward Christian appeal for co-operation in the life and development of a race which FARMING AND B Just now there is quite an unsettled condition prevailing among Negroes and about one-third of them are constantly on the go from one state to another in pursuit of better wages. While it is true, one can get better wages where the big railroad works are going on and other public works, but when the transportation charges, board, laundry and other incidental expenses are deducted from the increased amount of wages, it is hard for me to see where one is so much better off after all. Back to the farm, is the cry of the Monitor. Farm life is the best, the easiest and most profitable of any employment known to man; (where one goes about it wisely) and yet, nearly everybody is trying to find something else to do. We complain much about high prices; 'well, prices will continue to go higher unless more people return to the farm. When nearly everybody raises corn and Old Friend Jack.

Wise Old Owls. Grass widows are seldom green— Life. loves the country and its institutions. Rounds of applause punctuated his most trenchant statements snowing that the heart of the great body of Christian men in America beats true to right and justice. No one can read the following resolution adopted unanimously by this convention without taking fresh courage: "Resolved, In view of the urgent need for aggressive effort among colored young men, that this convention urge upon the international, state and provincial committees and local boards of directors the claims upon our associations of this work and these young men." When it is remembered that members of other departments desired such recognition by resolution and were denied it, and the department for colored men, so recognized, it is an additional reason for rejoicing and hope. J. E. Moorland, one of the secretaries of the international committee, in referring to the convention, said: "To see the rightful owner of the land, the American Indian, with only one representative who was only allowed to stand up before the convention without a word to say, as against eighteen strong, forceful representatives of a race recently liberated from bondage, given a conspicuous place on the program for one of their own number; to plead for his race as well as his nation, it is clear evidence of the inateability of the colored man to rise to the scale of true civilization. "With the final word recommending in the strongest Christian terms the agency of the church and kindred organizations as a solvent for all problems as the means best suited for the adjustment between races and nations, and as the quartet softly chanted Harriet Beecher Stowe's famous hymn: "Still, Still With Thee," we all determined to so work at the beginning of this new epoch in the field of two millions of young colored men, that greater things shall be accomplished in the coming generation than could be dreamed of by those in the past." THE COLORED MAN'S CHANGE The Bee Seems To Think the Only Need of the Race is Manners. What the colored American wants now, that is, some of them, is good manners. They have everything the white man has now, and to a great extent are doing almost what the white man is doing. He has his automobiles, motion picture shows, his theaters, he is a master of the prize ring, he is a sociologist, a philosopher, mathematician, orator, moralist or immoralist, a thief, some of them are honest, they commit robbery, commit suicide. They would always commit murder. This crime is old to them. Some of them are trying to fly now. Just how they will make out, time alone will tell. The time has come that the colored man will be last in nothing. They haven't got swindling down to a fine art or a high scale as yet, or robbing a bank. As soon as a few of them are made cashiers they will learn the art of manipulating the books. These are the white man's virtues soon 'to be taught to the colored Americans. They are fast nerving themselves up to the white man's virtues. Just give them the opportunity and the chance and then the colored man will be upon equality with the white man in everything. As a matter of fact the colored man has all the fine senses the white man has, and when an opportunity is given him to put them all in operation he will go down to posterity, as the white man's equal—Bee. BETTER WAGES. wheat, the scarcity of provisions run the prices up. A few years ago before so many left the farm, everything was cheap, and a man could live about as well on $1 a week as he can now on $5.00. When it is raining, the farmer laughs and the wage earner mourns; in the winter when the farmer is sitting by a good warm fire eating fresh pork and roasted potatoes, the wage earner is compelled to face the north wind and plod the snow in order to provide for his family. I am persuaded that my people could make more, save more and enjoy life much better with his family on a good farm. Try it, my brother.—A. M. E. Z. Monitor. How It Sounds.

And how you will regret that you did not realize it when, at the last, you are crowded into selecting unsuitable gifts that your friends are not made happy in receiving! Have you never thought at Christmas: "Why didn't I get that lovely centerpiece for Martha when I had it offered to me so reasonable during my vacation last summer? It would be just the thing for her this year, since she is just going into her new home?" If you had been forehanded you would have bought the gift that was appropriate for your friend when the chance offered, and saved many regrets and much brain racking. It is a good idea to make a list right now of all the folks to whom you intend making gifts this year. Go over the list, and jot down a few tentative gifts opposite each name—the things you think will be most acceptable. As you come across these things buy them and check up your list. If the gifts include things that you can make all the more reason why you should start at once. They could be pick-up work if begun now. They must be drudgery to make if left until another month has gone by. Christmas boxes are easily made and are very dainty gifts. To make them, cut pieces of cardboard and cover neatly with fancy THE MAN THAT'S THE MAN THAT'S DOWN AND OUT. There is always something pathetic if about the man that once lived in luxuries and then falls. There is just a small tinge of human emotion that awakens us even though he may have been a braggart and a social—better—than—thou. We forget for the moment that men are going about looking happy with far less story of "better days." There is always a strong lesson to be learned from these scenes, a great moral force to be derived from being able to grasp the stronger reason, the average down-and-out individual is pretty much like the starved alley cat or dog—he will follow you and make friends until it is impossible to get rid of them until you take them home and feed them, but after they are well fed and grow fat, they at once become arrogant and vicious, there is but a very small difference in this respect between man and brute; they say: "it's not what you was yesterday, but what you are today, that counts," dawns on us as a true expression for use in cases of The Race Question The Race Question Then and Now. The Forum has never seen the soundness of too much agitation on any question. And a question so delicate as the race question, in our judgment, is doing best when let alone, especially so far as agitation is concerned. A look back over the situation readily convinces an impartial reasoner of the unsoundness of this procedure. In the past we have had all kinds of 'race problems," and all kinds of remedies. It was once the theme of the eleven o'clock service. The family's most familiar fireside talk and the only ready subject of the Negro politician. Preachers, leaders, laymen, all joining in one great chorus, "Race Problem."

What wouldst thou be found doing when overtaken by death? If I might choose, I would be found doing some deed of true humanity, of wide import, beneficient and noble. But if I may not be found engaged in night so lofty, let me hope at least for this—what none may hinder, what is surely in my power—that I may be found raising up in myself that which had fallen; learning to deal more wisely with the things of sense; working out my own tranquility, and thus rendering that which is its due to every relation of life.—Epictetus.

They may be made from any stray pieces of bright-colored silk, linen, chintz, satin, denim or, in fact, any material of that kind; or, if desired, the slipper case may be developed in pink-flowered cretonne bound with dark-green braid. The loosely gathered sewing bag has an outside flap, which contains the needle book, and a pretty fancy is to embroider the owner's initials on the outside of the flap. Fancy brass rings are sewed to the upper edge, through which is run the ribbon which regulates the fullness about the top, and is used to hang it up by. The slipper case, which is divided into compartments and stiffened by means of cardboard interlining, requires 7-8 yard of material 22 inches wide or 5-8 yard 36 inches wide; either, with 2 8-4 yards of tape to blind and 2 hangers.

There are certain social requirements for the safety of our social and moral betterment, that must be met and which all most abide by financial conditions prevents some of us from reaching them and the general air of refinement and culture, neither of these should make us forget what is due the less fortunate, as a man. Which should be placed above all other considerations. If every man kept that in mind and kept in personal contact with those who because of lack of wealth and culture were socially out. when the fall came the distance would not seem so great, and much of the rejoicing and indifference over the downfall would be left out. We are mere creatures of fate; our fellowman is a natural part of our existence.

We fought; and, now and then, won a victory. How unfortunate for us that we could not see then that our leaders were sowing the seed, the fruits of which would be ill-will, hatred and jealousy from the people in whose midst we would always live.

Every marriage is a trial marriage—some of them greater trials than others. Even when she marries her ideal a woman is apt to outgrow it. With lots of men nothing is impossible—till they try it. The man who says life is not worth living is the man who doesn't make it so. It is much easier to take things as they come than to part with them as they go. Only the thin-skinned take consolation from the fact that beauty is only skin deep. The motto of the reckless chauffeur seems to be, "Where there's a wheel there's a way." "Better late than never" is poor consolation when you miss the last train. Words of praise greatly lighten a woman's household duties. Even an awkward man appears to the girl who loves him. What a moving picture the flopping of some politicians would make! MEMBERS OF FRATERNAL ORDER ARE RALLYING TO ITS SUPPORT. BIG MEETING IN RICHMOND The Outlook for the Fraternal Department of the Order is Richmond, Va.—(Special.)—Nearly fifteen hundred Negroes were present at the mass meeting held at the Second African Baptist church, at which resolutions were passed pledging the help of the race in the effort to keep the insurance department of the True Reformers intact and save the savings bank, if possible. Under the caption: "Stand Firm, Be Not Dismayed," the Reformer, the organ of the order, published in this city, says: "We gave notice in our last issue of the Reformer that the savings bank of the Grand fountain had been put into hands of receivers. "The accounts of the bank are being audited, after which a full and complete statement will be made. Until this is done, let decisions in the matter be withheld. "Rumors of many kinds may be brought to you; nevertheless you should stand firm and be unmovable. As sure as night follows day, the righteous Judge of us all will decree and life will again be put into the greatest Negro institution known to the civilized world. Grand Master Holmes and his officers are working as Trojans to have the institution put in condition to meet every requirement of the law in this and such other states and cities that the Reformer's flag floats. "We appeal to every man of the institution, we appeal to every woman of the institution; we appeal to every friend of the institution to stand firm in your devotion and love for a cause which you have done so much to make grand and noble. Do not be persuaded to forsake nor leave your institution. But wait awhile, stand firm, be not dismayed, wait until the clouds roll by and you will see the Grand Fountain, like the great solar system, sending forth her rays of light, carrying comfort, joy and happiness to thousands of homes, as it has done in the past. Let every fountain member keep up his dues as regularly now as ever; plans are now being arranged for every claim now due, or which may be due hereafter. The way we see it now, you have nothing to fear. Go forward to battle, stand to your guns ready to fire, when our general, A. W. Holmes, gives the order." Grand Master Holmes has given out the statement that in addition to the $200,000 due the order by the bank there were $90,000 of good assets; that the Grand fountain has a mortgage on Washington real estate worth at least $54,000, and equities in property in Richmond, Portsmouth, Newport News, Dauville and Lynchburg, conservatively estimated at $40,000. It is said that the bank, owes the fraternal order $200,000, and if the defunct institution pays 50 cents on the dollar the fraternal department will have assets amounting to $190,000. Library Closed in Honor of Negro. Richmond, Va.—The State Law library closed in respect to the memory of Mr. Edward S. Brown, the colored assistant librarian, who died.

Before I tried Cardul, the woman's tonic. I was very sick, and the doctor's medicine did me no good. I can never speak too highly of your medicine." Sleeplessness and nervousness, from which many women suffer, often make living unendurable. If you are alling, no need to stay so. Most of the alliments peculiar to women are preventable, curable. Others have obtained relief by taking Cardul. Why not you? Cardul is a popular medicine with women. It is popular because it has been found to banish nervousness, relieve pain, bring roses back to pale cheeks, and strength to weak bodies. Cardul acts specifically on the cause of most female ills, and thus it is a medicine especially useful in women's allments, in the treatment of which it has a record of over 50 years of success. At least it can do you no harm, to give Cardul a fair trial. It may be the very medicine you It may be the very medicine you need. Get a bottle today. N. B.-Writen, Ladies' Advisory Dept.

It smells like a piece of burning rubber. Sarcastic Boarder—Perhaps. The cook has dropped a piece of the steak on the stove. Old Pete's Little Joke. Foolish questions and funny answers were under discussion in the Trenton avenue and Dauphin street police station the other day, and after listening for a while to some amusing instances, Sergeant McCay told the following: "Old Pete Flood was the attendant in the Franklin cemetery some years ago, and it became the custom to ask him how business was, just to hear his reply. It came in a heavy bass voice: "Aln't buried a living soul today." Philadelphia Times. Seymour—Young Ticer looks like a cautious man. Ashley—He is cautious; he's so cautious that he wouldn't ask the prettiest girl in all the world to let him see her home unless he had learned how far away she lived. THEY GROW Anything that interferes with good health is apt to keep cheerfulness and good humor in the background. A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone made things bright for her. She writes: "Four years ago I was practically given up by my doctor and was not expected to live long. My nervous system was in a bad condition. "But I was young and did not want to die so I began to look about for the cause of my chronic trouble. I used to have nervous spells which would exhaust me and after each spell it would take me days before I could sit up in a chair. "I became convinced my trouble was caused by coffee. I decided to stop it and bought some Postum. "The first cup, which I made according to directions, had a soothing effect on my nerves and I liked the taste. For a time I nearly lived on Postum and ate little food besides. I am today a healthy woman. "My family and relatives wonder if I am the same person I was four years ago, when I could do no work on account of nervousness. Now I am doing my own housework, take care of two babies—one twenty the other two months old. I am so busy that I hardly get time to write a letter, yet I do it all with the cheerfulness and good humor that comes from enjoying good health. "I tell my friends it is to Postum I owe my life today." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. Things are genuine, true, and full of human interest. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. Selfishness and a desire to "get back" at one or two persons that are disliked, has ever been the means of thwarting the growth of any community or people. It is too bad that a certain calibre of our men will allow their feeling to get the better of their judgment in opposing even matters of vital public good. Throw self to the winds in order to aid the public. Less than two weeks remain before the closing of the tax books. Especially should our voters take advantage of this opportunity of getting prepared in order to register. Our young men should do their part in this direction. The Philadelphia Tribune, one of the best race papers published, has rounded its twenty sixth year, Editor Perry is to be congratulated. The old veteran quill driver, T. Thomas Fortune is now connected with The Tribune, and they are making things "hum." Congress convened on Monday in the last part of its 61st session. The president's message was read on Tuesday. Public affairs were fully presented. He renewed his recommendation for the reimbursement of the Freedman's Bank depositors, and the holding of the exposition commemorating the freedom of the colored people in this country. The centenary of Charles Sumner, the great abolishionist, occurs next month. Mr. Sumner's friendship and labor for our people are well known and his memory should be ever revered. It would be proper and fitting for us, even in this community, to arrange a suitable literary program for the evening of his anniversary day. The talk of the general secretary of the anti-tuberculosis society at the Sunday Club tomorrow should appeal to every Negro man and woman in the city because if there is any one thing more than another which has made serious inroads upon our population it has been the scourge of consumption which carries off so many Negroes every year. The talk of this lady who has been making a special study of tubercular conditions among both whites and blacks will no doubt be full of information which will be of inestimable value to those who attend this special meeting and The Tribune takes especial delight in advising our people to attend this meeting in great numbers and profit by the valuable instructions which Miss Pendleton give. Among the recommendations to Congress by President Taft in his message of last Tuesday was one urging the passage of the pending bill which will grant full payment to all depositors in the Freedman's bank. This portion of the message in particular is of much moment to those thousands of Negroes who have money tied up in this project and which if it passes successfully will allow them to be reimbursed to the full extent of their apparent loss. Its passage will agreeably effect many Negroes in this section of the state and will remove a heavy burden from their hearts, for in these times scarcity of superfluous money this much needed change will be found to be quite a consoling factor. In a recent article in one of the daily papers, the city authorities were urged to look after a certain spot on the east side where vagrant Negroes congregate and are a nuisance, if not a disgrace, to the peaceful and industrious citizens of the city. We heartily endorse these sentiments and take this occasion to urge, along with the other newspapers of the city, that a thorough campaign be made against this and similar places throughout the city. There is seemingly too much laxity exercised on the part of the powers that have the welfare of the city at stake when it comes to running to death such disgraceful places as those frequented by the vagrants of our city and the only way that we are to become rid of them is to break them up indiscriminately. But in joining in the movement to eliminate those resorts, we wish to bring to mind a little incident which occurred about two months ago and which was a direct injustice to the colored people of this city. This particular offense to which we take exception was the flagrant error perpetrated against our people by the police of the city when the awarding of the Grand Prize race was decided in favor of Savannah and the officers of the law in endeavoring to increase the number of eligibles for the county chain gang which was to put the race course in readiness by a certain time made their arrests wholly from the ranks of the vagrant Negroes that were found on the streets at the time while the white vagrants were allowed to roam the streets, to gather in barrooms and wheresoever they wished without being molested. This was a most wilful miscarriage of the law and should receive the condemnation of every law-abiding, fairminded citizen here. This kind of crusade we decry, for while we have no tolerance for the Negro vagrant and recognize the necessity for making him work for others if he will not elect to work for himself yet we would like his vagrant brother in white to suffer a like penalty and be make to feel the same pressure of the law. This is simply a reminder and we trust that the agitation which is now before the minds of the people to rid our city of these dives and low places will find its execution against both white and black vagrants alike. A Manly Rebuke. Dear Mr. Editor, Savannah Ibune: While it is not expected that a busy man will waste precious time to give attention to the bickerings of such an insignificant weakling as our neighbor, the editor of the Macon Dispatch, having received very special mention in that falsifying, prognostic write-up appearing in the columns of the Dispatch of a recent issue, I am sending this to set aright any who may have been missed by the statement of this tool, and petty hireling of the scandalizing scavenger sheet, written as a reflection on trust worthy men, and to discredit the financial standing of this, the strongest, purest and most ably managed order of our state. While I do not believe that any Sir Knight, who has the good of the order at heart and has given ungrudgingly of his time, his means and his talents for the perpetuation of this grand order will be influenced by any utterances of these professional lodge wreckers, and race traitors, still it is well to be reminded that this is the same propoganda that for years has resorted to very low and detestable practice in order to bring about the ruin of our order in this state, Ga, and it matters not which one of its "coats of many colors" it is dressed in, or from which shop of scandal it is issued, it can be easily recognized as having had its origin at the home of the scavenger sheet. Speaking of those who may contemplate running for Grand Chancellor: I see no reason why any who are eligible and feel that they have a chance to be elected should not enter the race as it is indeed a position of honor as well as renumeration and worth the attention of the very best material of our order; but for the information of all concerned, I wish to state that I am not now, and will not be a candidate for Grand Chancellor. At the proper time I will formally announce as candidate for re-election to the office which I now hold. Respectfully in F., C. and B., F. M. COHEN, Sec'y & Treas. Endowment Bureau of Georgia. Savannahians in New York City By "Awl Jup." New York City, Dec. 5, 1910—Dear Mr. Editor: It is such a pleasure when in a strange land to meet people from your home town. What a handshake and cordial greeting! Well, the old boy has been getting around the big city and naturally ran across many of the Savannah folks. In this letter I am going to start telling about the home folks up this side. The table was simply grooming under the weight of so many good things at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George S. Johnson, when "Awl Inn" shoved his "feet rulers" under the mahogany, Just take it from me that I increased 'steen pounds before I got up from the table. I found Mr. Johnson happy and as soon as she left the young Miss Marion are as pretty as ever. Mrs. Johnson and Miss Marion are planning to make a trip to Savannah the latter part of this month. When I saw Mr. W. H. Hicks in Savannah last Summer, I wondered what was the cause of his getting so fat; but as the advertising fellow says: "There's a reason, read the little book." I found out that reason Thanksgiving day when I took a seat eight inches away from the table Talk about turkey and good things to eat, well, I ate until I touched the table. Mr. Hicks is a postal clerk in the Times Square office, and is getting on nicely. Mrs. Hicks is proving to be quite an adept in housekeeping. "Awl Inn" took dinner also with Mrs. Lizzie Hicks, the mother of Mr. W. H. Hicks. Mrs. Hicks looks as young as when she left Savannah. She is justly proud of her son "Pennie." I had an invitation to a Sunday evening dinner at the home of my old friend Mr. Marion Walton. As the man from Kentucky insists on taking his whiskey straight, so does the Savannahian insist on having his rice dry, every grain separate. Mr. Walton, though he has been away from Savannah for about 18 years, still sees to it that every grain is separate. A true Savannahian will go over even to Brooklyn for a good plate of rice cooked in southern style. Mr. Walton is looking well and getting along nicely. I took breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Coleman last Sunday morning. It was a southern breakfast fixed up as only Mr. Coleman can fix up. When it comes to the art of cooking fish, mark Mr. Coleman down. Across the street from his home, Mr. Coleman runs a lounge counter, at which place he is doing also. Mrs. Coleman is quite a doe around the home. More later. A big meeting of Fulk University man holds at the Earthenwood. building on West 39th street, last Tuesday night. The Fisk quartette sang and addresses were made by four graduates of Fisk, while Booker T. Washington made the leading address. Dr. Proctor caused a little ripple he when said that the Carnegie library of Atlanta asked Dr. DuBois for a copy of the "Souls of Black Folk," and now Dr. DuBois cannot draw his own book out of the library. Yours truly; A Reputable Establishment. Do business on a large scale and giving their patrons the best that is to be found are the reasons assigned for the wonderful success of the undertaking establishment under the name of A. M. Monroe & Co. This undertaking establishment, though of but a few years standing and by all means the youngest in the city, has already given promise of making all competing firms take notice of its race for supremacy. Starting at a time when Savannah was becoming awakened to her opportunities this firm has never lost sight of the great possibilities there are in establishments of this character but in its almost meteoric rise the managers of this establishment have not allowed success to run rampant with their good judgement. However, what has caused the wonderful growth of this firm is the fact that they have ever been on the alert to add all new inventions in their line of business to their establishment and thereby keep pace with the times. Therefore, in their desire to enlarge their business they have recently purchased a beautiful funeral car of steel gray color which is kind in the test of scrutinizing eyes. The firm makes mention of this fact because seeing is believing and if any one doubts the progressiveness let him be a peep at the fairy-tale car and be convinced once for all of their ability to be abreast with the times. And not only have they this valuable asset to their business but they have at their show rooms at 605 West Broad St, some of the most beautiful shrouds and caskets to be found in the city and which can be seen for but the asking. Any services which this firm, A. M. Monroe & Co., West Broad and Charles streets can render the people of Savannah will be gladly given by the courteous managers that have been conducting this business. Prices which this firm offer the public are always as reasonable as can be found in the city and a great deal of consideration is always shown to the poor*and needy. So when you see a beautiful steel gray hearse with the letter M on it coming in the distance you will know that its the property of this thrifty Negro undertaking establishment, A. M. Monroe & Co., 605 West Broad street. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE. Interesting Services in The Churches of the City. : F. B. B. Church Dots. F. B. B. Church Dots. Despite the very cold weather on Sunday night, there was a large crowd at church. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Matt. 18:15-35, the subject was "Forgiveness." It was an excellent and very plain sermon. Many beautiful lessons and examples were given. The choir sang the medley "Nearer my God to Thee." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Come ye that love the Lord." He invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat. You will be benefitted by attending our services. Second Baptist Church, Rev. D. Angustig Reid, D. D. Pa Rev. D. Augustine Reid, D.

Come early. The old folks concert on Wednesday night, given by a coterie of members of the church was an overwhelming success and augurs for the future welfare of the church. It showed a rejuvenation of the old time spirit which used to be so manifest in years when the Old Fort was a power among the christian lights of the city. St. Benedict's Church. Gaston and East Broad streets. Sunday Dec. 1. II. Third Sunday in Advent. First mass a 7 a. m., with a short instruction, second mass at 8 a. m., high mass and sermon at 10:30 p. m.

After the evening service St. Mary's Aid Society has an important meeting, at which the officers for the year 1911 will be elected; all the members are requested to attend. On Thursday evening, a sacred concert and a lecture were given in the church; it was a most successful and interesting event. Our heartiest congratulations are extended to all the members of the choir and their friends, who rendered the elaborate program of sacred music with such charming perfection. Father Dahlent gave an interesting lecture on the famous, Shrine of Lourdes. The questions, taken from the Question Box, which were answered by Father Dahlent on Sunday-night, proved most instructive and most interesting for the large crowd that attended the service. St. Philip Dots. CAMP DUTS. The last service of the year was attended by a large congregation on last Sunday. Bare Singleton preached at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. The text was Paul's 6 letter to the Gall. 10 verse, phrase, "The right use of opportunities." Great stress was laid on this subject by the speaker, and we were made mindful of the many opportunities we have in life for doing good. At 4 o'clock the Holy Communion was administered by Rev. Singleton assisted by Rev. John A. Capps, local deacon and Rev. Collins. At 8 p.m., Rev. Singleton preached two sermons combined, one, his farewell sermon for the year, and the other to the Sons and Daughters of Benevolence, a local society of this city. At the conclusion of the services the society presented to the church $3.00, the pastor $3.00, choir $1.00, sexton $1.00. On Monday night, Rev. Singleton made his annual report to the church as pastor for this conference year. Rev. Singleton was highly complimented on his report for he showed everything in detail, total dol- lar money raised for 1910 up to the time of reading his report was $551.00 and more to come. St. Philip is still loyal to her obligations and the banner still floats in the breeze. The membership certificates were given to all members who did their duty along all lines for the year. Those who failed to do their part in carrying on the work of the church failed to be rewarded. The silver badge offered to the class leader that raised the highest amount of dollar money by Presiding Elder Bemry was awarded to class 25, B. J. Howard, leader. The badge was awarded according to membership, his class having 25 members, all paid up. There are other classes that have a larger membership but they failed to report every member paid up. Rev. Singleton left for Brunswick, Ga., on Tuesday morning where the Georgia Conference will be in session during the week. Don't fail to attend the League meetings on Thursday nights at 8:30 splendid program. The following services will he on tomorrow: Prayer meeting at 6 a.m., preaching at 11 a.m., Sunday school at 3 p.m., preaching at 8:15 p.m. Strangers are cordially invited. Dots From Mt. Tabor Dots From Mt. Tabor. Excellent services were held at Mt. Tabor on last Sunday. At 11 a. m., Lie. H. J. Washington spoke for us, selecting for his discourse the 27th Psalm. The preacher was very instructive and proved to those present that he is worthy of his calling. At 4 p. m. the communion service was held being the last communion of this year. At 8 p. m. the pastor Rev. N. H. Whitmire, D. D., preached after reading a part of the 10 chapter of Cor. He selected for his text the 12 verse, 10 chapter I Cor., using for a subject "Peter's denial." He pointed out to those present how to be careful in standing lest at any time they fall. We are glad to note that Sister Bertha Butler of ward No. 1, is improving, we regret to note that Sister Sarah Butler and Bro. Wm. Thorn of ward No. 1 are confined to their sick rooms. On last Thursday night a missionary society of women was organized by the pastor. The following officers were elected and installed: Sarah Chisolm, president; Mattie Waters, vice president; Lavinia Holmes, corresponding secretary; Ella Baker, treasurer; Katie Clarke, chair sick committee. F. A. B. Church. The last communion service to be held in this year at the old historic First African Baptist Church was held on last Sunday. The pews were filled with anxious members to partake of the Lord's Supper, many of whom were the old veterans whose eye head bespoke their coming up. So on these festive occasions but a few more times. Many visiting ministers and deacons occupied the front seats, and assisted. At the 11 oclock service the pastor, Rev. W. L. Jones, preached an awakening神学 from St. Mark 14th chapter 22nd verse, subject, "The purpose of Jesus in the communion." The sermon diffused a brilliant light on the communion. Little Amethyst Udyean Lee daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Lee and little James H. Mitchell son of Mr. and Mrs. Prophet Mitchell were brought to the altar in the arms of their god mothers for God's benediction. The pastor talked at 8 p.m. from St. Matthew 26th chapter, 32nd verse, "Jesus as a leader." Several persons were received into church. Many of the new plans already agreed upon will very likely meet the approval of the members of the church at its annual conference and no doubt will cause 1911 to be a record breaking year. The church is preparing to have a big feast for the poor saints, whom they have aiding each month during the year, Deacon Lee Gilmore being in charge of the management of this affair. We extend you an invitation to each service of the church. All seats are free and you are welcome in any: Mt. Zion Church. On last Sunday the attendance was good and the usual services were carried out in proper order and with much credit to the church. The roll was called after the 11 o'clock services and those present responded to their names. The roll of those who have paid their taxation was also read and same numbered 138. There are several who have not paid and we ask you to do so at once. At some early date, the pastor will have the names of those who haven't paid called. So we ask that the members attend all the services so that you will be present when the roll is called and see where your name appears. Tomorrow we would like to have all who can visit our services, as very important sermons have been prepared for you and same will be of much benefit to you if you will came. 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 session. This is because 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 missionary spirit and desire even into 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. Union Pressing Club b, 300 Beautiful Pictures and.Frames just arrived.

MONEY. “To raise a ‘considerable amount of money with very little trouble is to form a Story Chain, for a winter,” seys -Martha Landon in Woman's Heme Companion, “A group of ten women met at the home of one of them on an afternoon and one reads aloud a story, some ting worth listening to, like “The Toy Shop’ or ‘The Man Without a Country,’ or any of the best short stories; then tea is served end per- haps there is a little music. Each per- son present pays an admission fee of twenty-five cents, In turn each of the ten guests give a similar tea at her home and the same program {s follow- ed. and each of these guests gives a tea; when this has been done three or four times, the ‘chain’ comes to an end, but the treasury is filled.” A DAINTY GOWN.

To prevents feathers from working through feather beds or pillows take paper Cambric, make cover, and put feathers in before putting ticking on. This also prevents dust from coming through, ‘ ‘: USE OLD MATTRESS. Instead of giving mattresses to junk dealer or taking out and burning, empty contents and wash ticking and use ‘for covering new mattress. Cut slit in center, finisa edges, and work buttonholes and use flat bone buttons for buttoning it up, or rip up and use to put between mattress and springs; it keeps mattress clean and free from dust.

BY GEORGE E. DAVIS, PH. D. The statement that the south is the best place for the Negro as a mass, is not made hastily and without some investigation of his condition, conduct and opportunities in the north. A glance at condition of the masses there will convince any one that it were better endure the ills we have than to fly to others we know not of. whose progress of civilization pathway for the years led ther than barbarism sion and subs found it confrere and untried In taking Some of the best, colored people of the south have gone into the cities of the north seeking better protection under the law, superior advantages for their children, and better homes in which to live. They have found unsympathetic judges and hostile juries; prejudice and ostracism in the schools and homes available only in noisome alleys and unsanitary quarters of the city where the white plague walks on stilts. They have sought honorable employment, only to find themselves opposed by hordes of recently arrived peasants from Europe—Russians, Italians, Hungarians and Poles—who seeing in the Negro an industrial rival, have sworn eternal enmity against him. There are certain quarters in New York city where a Negro dare not go alone for fear of being stoned by these barbarians from the other side of the Atlantic. Discouraged by these unexpected obstacles many of these people drift into crime. The young girls become a ready prey to the vultures of the tenderloin and sell their virtue as the price for bread. The young men in a few short months sow their crop of wild oats and then come back to the south to rest upon the charity of kith and kin until consumption lays its ghastly banner on their form. But it is not the better class that leave the south, in large numbers. The property-holding and industrious Negro in the south is a good citizen, and the hands of the best white people are ready to help and encourage him. To such as these it is a source of poignant regret that at the present time there in an influx of irresponsible and shiftless colored people from the south into the larger cities of the north, such as Pittsburg, Philadelphia and New York, and into the smaller manufacturing towns. Many of these people are criminal, and others, seeking larger freedom. The results are disastrous to the better class who remain in the south, bound by family ties, property interests and real patriotism. The conduct of these people in the north has curtailed the benevolences that flowed southward since the war through the channels of the church boards and missionary societies. It is also true that the better class of Negrees who have homes in these cities have felt most acutely a gradual, and in some places a sudden change of sentiment due to the bad conduct and criminality of these stragglers. The result is most disastrous to both the social and political status of the Negro in the northern states. Cut off from industrial opportunity in skilled labor, he is only tolerated when he tacitly accepts a position of permanent inferiority, which dooms him to a position as a mass lower than that he occupies in the south. A prominent Kentucky statesman once declared his opposition to freeing the slaves because the Negroes would all leave, and the south would be ruined. Mr. Lincoln's rejoinder at the time is today the watchword of the home-loving Negro: "They will not run away unless they have something to run for." They only ask that toleration and patience be shown to a race just forty-five years out of slavery—a race CURIOUS CONDENSATIONS. Radium gives a violet tinge to glass and porcelain, and turns white paper yellow. Miss Margaret Seppings, whose death took place at Lynn, England, recently at the age of 92, was born, resided all her life and died in the same house. Paper machine belting, protected on the edges by leather, is being tried out in England with a measure of success. One advantage claimed for it is that it does not stretch. Investigation by a French chemist showed that gold bolls in an electric furnace at a monument erected in her honor at Dubuque because she saved a train from destruction. The monument to Pocahontas, which was intended to be erected on Jamtstown island by the women of this country, is still in the studio of the sculptor. The biggest sponge in the world is a bahama, six feet in circumference and two feet in diameter, shaped something like a big fat biscuit or a bride's cakt that failed to rise. In Cornwall, 500 rabbits are often trapped in a week out of the deep hedges surrounding the fields. Trappers will sometimes pay $150 or more for permission to kill rabbits over a moderate sized farm during a single week. Wild ducks are estimated to fly ninety miles an hour; swallows fly rather faster, and the swift flies over two hundred miles an hour. The order for the Panama lock gates covers no fewer than 58,000 tons of steel, distributed over forty-six gates, or ninety-two leaves. whose progress towards the heights of civilization began at zero; whose pathway for two hundred, and fifty years led through a slavery worse than barbarism, and whose manumission and subsequent enfranchisement found it confronted with so many new and untried responsibilities. In taking this favorable view of the south as the best place for the Negro, we by no means commit ourselves to the proposition that it is the Happy Valley dreamed of by Johnson in his "Rasselas." Too often his days are filled with unrequited toil and his nights rendered sleepless with hair, rowing fears. Today in far southern states he is called upon to listen to an irony of logic which, at once declares him to be inherently incapable of rising to the heights of citizenship and then by legislative enactment raises barriers that make it impossible for him to rise; that says he cannot learn and therefore so circumscribes his educational opportunities in the public school systems of the south as to restrict him to the most elementary rudiments of learning; that claims that educating the Negro produces idleness and asserts that the majority of criminal Negroes are illiterate; that teaches him to aspire and withholds from him the implements with which to achieve; that preaches worth and character as the only true tests of manhood and subjects to the most galling humiliation men and women well up to the standard in both, because their skin is dark. We do not forget that if education and character are a growth for the Negro, that justice and fairness toward the Negro must be nurtured and cultivated in the white man. To this end we believe that every evidence of progress and good will should be given its full value. We believe it to be the wish of a very large majority of the whites that the Negro remain in the south, contented and happy. This result cannot be achieved: (1) by lawless punishment of crime; (2) by denying him political and civil rights; (3) by repressive legislative legislation with special reference to him; (4) by neglecting to give him the gospel by example as well as by precept; (5) by proposing exclusive forms of education for any one race, since in American life the way is open for all; the demands are upon all alike as to economic, intellectual and moral value and accountability. This result can be greatly hastened: 1. By giving him larger opportunities for education and opening up fields of employment. 2. By according him all citizen rights. To these he is justly entitled. 3. By granting him the blessings of industrial emancipation. 4. By paying him a just wage for service rendered. 5. By giving the protection of the law as well as inflicting upon him its penalties. Some Battle Cries That Accelerate the March of Progress. Chicago—I Will. Baltimore—I Lead. St. Louis—To the Front.

First Used During the American Civil War How New York Aid in Flight Red Cross Christmas seals date back in their origin to "charity stamps," first used for the soldiers' relief funds in Boston in 1862, during the Civil war. After the war, this method of raising money was discontinued in this country for a generation, although it found vogue in Portugal, Switzerland, Australia, France, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Sweden and other European countries. There are now several hundred different types of charity stamps used in all parts of the world. Stamps or seals were first used to get money for the anti-tuberculosis crusade in Norway and Sweden in 1904. After being used in these countries for three years, as a direct result of the interest of Jacob Rilis in this movement, the Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis association, headed by Miss Emily P. Bissell, and the Red Cross society of Delaware combined in issuing a tuberculosis stamp. So successful was this campaign that nearly $3,000 was realized, and the next year, in 1908, the American Red Cross was induced to issue a national Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From this sale, $135,000 was realized, that amount being almost doubled in 1909. This year, for the first time, the sale is organized on a comprehensive basis, taking in all parts of the United States. A million for tuberculosis work is confidently expected. Putting In the Time. A gentleman was engaging a general man and telling him what he wanted him to do. "You will have to clean the windows and the boots and the knives and go messages, chop wood, cut short grass, mind the horse and pony, look after the garden and keep the house supplied with vegetables and do any odd job that is required and if suitable you will get ten shillings a week." "Is there any clay in the garden?" asked the man. "What makes you ask that?" asked the gentleman. "I was thinking I could make bricks in my spare time," said the man. Ancient City Modernized.

Tue color walls of prejudice are without dimensions, but the irony resolution of this people makes them readily penetrable. It is to be regretted, however, that there is prejudistic walls built by our own people for our own people. The lack of that unity which a race- loving people should have is becoming more eminent in our intelligent era than it was away back in the six- tes.

This is not meant to forget that we have oragnized ourselves into ya- rious fraternities, but even in our fraternities there is too much dyna- miting and underground current as rhe result of the lack of true unity.

Such minds are idle, save heir hard labor working out a series of diabolically concocted plans of de- vauchery and crime.

To this the noted orator retorted: ‘Do caurch walls make the Christian? Simplician was not to be Wanquished and proudly answered: {Not exactly; but our Lord said, He that denieth me before men, him will T also deny before my Father who is jn heaven.’ That answer goes to the root of the matter. It brings out an ‘element in church-going that is. of great importance and. that is little thougat of by many Christians in our day—chureh-going as witness-bearing for Christ. To attend the services of God's hotise is to confess Christ be- fore men, They who go to church give notice to the world that they mean to be reckoned among those who ‘nave Christ for their Lord and ‘Master. The church member who ‘Is conspicuous by his absence from God's house is virtually’ denying Christ. He sets ai example which ‘would mean the death of the church “were all others to follow it; he practi- ‘ally teaches that worship and preaching of the.
