Washington, D, C.—The acute revolutionary situation along the northern border of Mexico Friday moved the American government to Tush twelve additional troops of cay: alry to.the frontier to preserve the neutrality of the United States. The American military forces will pre- ‘Yent not only the movement of revo- lutionary bands from this country Anto Mexico, but also will prohibit de- feated rebels with arms from seeking refuge on the territory of the United Btates. ‘This action was based upon strong representations from the Mexican government to the effect that armed bands of revolutionaries have been entering Mexico at isolated places along the southern boundary of the United States. Furthermore, It was declared, the evolutionists have crossed the Rio Grande trom Mexico, entering the United States for the Purpose of making thelr way undis- turbed through American territory and then re-entering Mexico for the purp'se of operating against a stra- tegic point. In reply to the protests ot Mexico, the United States govern- ment has assured that country that avery measure will be adopted with a view to preventing any violation of a neutral attitude on the part of America. To Patrol Border. Orders for the dispatch of the re- inforcements to the border line were issued by the War Department Fri- day. Of the twelve companies of cavalry, consisting of about 750 men, four will be sent from the Presidio, Cal., six from Fort Meade, S. D., and two from Fort Wingate, N. M. ‘This will make the total military repre- sentation of the United States align- ed along the frontier 22 troops of cavalry, or about 1,500 men, It {s understood that the Mexican government {s contemplating asking the United States for permission to bring Mexican troops from Sonora, Mex., over American territory into Cludad Juarez. The request has not yet taken definite form, but if It is made it {s believed that the theory will be advanced by Mexico that the neutrality of the United States will not be violated by favorable action on the proposition in view of the fact that the belligerency of the rev- olution bas not been recognized by this government. | /MEDALS FOR HEROIC DOGS.

COURT IN UPROAR. Charles Smith Discovers a New Crime in Maryland. New York.—Charles Smith was up before Judge Faweett to plead to an indictment for a minor offense. “Smith,” the judge addressed him, “were you ever convicted of any crime: before?” “Yes, sir,” the man answered, promptly, “I once got married in Maryland.” It required several minutes to re- store order in the courtroom, Coffee Trust Alleged. ‘Washington, D.

Governor Forbes is president of the Philip- Pine branch of the Red Cross which already has taken active meagures for relief. The Governor reports, however, that unles# adequate means are adopted there will be much sutfer- ing, as mud and Java have destroyed the crops of thousands of families. Col. William C.

Additional detachments of the constabulary are belng zushed to the scene to ald in the work. CANCELS LONG TRIP SOUTH. Session if Necessary. ‘Washington.—President Taft's an- nouncement that the Southern tour which he had planned to take the early part of next month would be canceled, with the exception of the visit to Atlanta on March 10, has started political tongues to wagging with rumors to the effect that his Purpose was to prepare for a possi- dle extra session of Congress in case the present session fails to enact the reciprocity agreement between the United States and Canada.~ Pressure of business and the fact that numerous {nvitations to visit many places In the South were mak- ing the tour assume too large pro- portions are the reasons assigned at the White House for the cancellation of the trip. It is believed th many quarters, however, that Mr, Taft is clearing the decks of all butabsolute- ly necessary engagements so that, In case he should find it Impossible to get his reciprocity measure through this session, He can be prepared for an extra session.

THREE INVESTIGATIONS ARE ON, Metropolis Saved From Far Worse Disaster Because Twenty Tons of Dynamite Were Frozen and Was Free From Danger of Concussion— Dead and Missing Number Thirty- three—The Destroyed Lighter Not Licensed to Carry Eaplosives. Seventy thousand pounds of @ynamite exploded from some unknown cause on a Jersey City pier. ‘Two’ tugs alongside, much of the pier and about 30 men work- ing near by were blown to atoms. The blast jarred Manhattan Island and the Jersey shore as far as Long Branch, 45 niles distant. Estimates of the dead reach 50 or more, and the wounded number hundreds, many of them fatally hurt. Skyscrapers in New York rocked, ferryboats were almost blown over, thousands of win- dows smashed, and panic seized the crowds in many places.

New York.—Agents of the Du Pon de Nemours Powder Company, thé Prosecutor of Hudson county,~N. J. and Inspectors of thé Bureau of Ex plosives of the Ordnance Bureau o the War Department started separat Investigations In the frightful ex plosion of dynamite at the Commu nipaw plers of the Central Rallroac of New Jersey. No arrests have been made, nc cause for the explosion had beer fixed, and ho additional bodies wer found. The lst of dead and missins atill stands at about 33 and the prop erty damage ranges close to $1,000, oud. The {interesting opinion was ex. pressed by the Army Ordnance Bu: reau experts after their examination of the scene of the disaster that the city had been eaved from a far worse disaster through the fact that from 12 to 20 tons of dynamite on the spot was frozen and, therefore, large ly free from the danger of explosion by concussion. They further declared their optn. ion that no dynamite exploded ex- cept that already stored on the Kath: erine W. It was their bellef that a boiler explosion on the vessel set off some dynamite that had been stored near the boiler room and partially thawed out. Will Never Know Cause. “We have gone far enough now,” sald Vice-Presiient W. C. Beeler, of thé Jersey Central, “to be certain we nor the authorities will ever know just what caused the explosion. We do know that the railroad cannot be held responsible. As common car- riera the law requires us to accept explosives at the published rates, and under the ‘supervision and regula- tions of the Ordnance Bureau of the War Department, with which we complied. Once we had delivered a car at the terminal amd the con- signee had come with his waybill to take possession and had broken the seal of the car, as had been done in this case, it was out of our control and our responsibility had ceased.” Was Not Licensed. James Healing, owner of the de- stroyed lighter, Katherine W., ad- mitted without hesitancy that he had no license to carry explosives and added tWat all the clty authori- les knew {t?too. When he first went into the business of transporting ex- plosives four years ago, he sald, he had inquired about a license and never could find that one was re- quired. “Four of my men," he sald —“qualified handlers of explosives— nad to take’out Hcenses, and they id, from the United States Bureau of Combustibles. I never knew, and nobody else handling explosives in his harbor ever knew, that any ther license was required.” A resolution providing for an in- estigation of the exploston was in- roduced at a meeting of the New fork Chamber of Commerce by jacob H.

BOOKER WASHINGTON TALES Farmers Urged To Discard Old Meth eds and Adopt Up-to-Date Plans, Tuskegee, Ala—(Special.) — Fully 2,000 Negro fgsmers from varlous sec- tions of Alabama, Georgia and Missis- sippi, and prominent educators, col- lege presidents and other professional men from yarious sections of the country heard Booker T; Washington, the principal of the Tuskegee insti- tute and the originator of the farm- ers’ conferences, deliver the opening address at the 20th annual farmers’ conference here. Principal Washington's address was along common-sense Hnes dwelling particularly with the-mortgage system and the inability of the Negro farm- ers in the south to secure that train- {ng he ought to have, “The time has come when the Negro farmer should be so thrifty, so industrious, so full-handed that Ne can live for a year or longer without having to gc to somebody to supply him with food, clothing, animals and implements to be used while he is making his year’s crops. 1 : “Colored farmers throughout the South might as well understand now that the old methods are passing away jana that new ones are to take thelr places. .1 refer especially to the old ‘habit of mortgaging the crop, animals, ‘ete, for the money on which to Iive while the crop is being raised. The Negro in the South has been free for, more than 45 years, and it ought not to be necessary much longer for any Proportion of these colored farmers to be treated as, though they were ebildren instead of men. “The time has come when, ij my opinion, that the white citizens of the South should realize that a very lb- eral polley should be pursued in coz- nection with the education of the Ne- gto as a farmer. It is too much to expect that the Negro farmer will-get the best results and succeed without having any money spent on him to make him a mhre successful farmer, while thousands of dollars are being spent every year throughout the South in the education of the white farm- ers.” as Race Progress As Reported By National Negro Busi- ness League. ‘The Hill Handy Window-ls the namie of an Improved window sash recently invented by Mr. Hill of Denvery Col. Several large contracts for these sah- es have already been placéd, That the standing of the Negro musician in America is in no sense commensurate with his high gift of talent and what might be expected of it is, to a very great extent, the result of defective elementary instruction. In New York City this lack of fundamental equipment is lamentably evident. We have scores of really talented men and women with inadequate theoretical training; singers who have voices, but little brain and no method; composers with operatic aspirations, who cannot put down their notes, yet who frequently attempt to write the lyrics of an opera with absolutely no knowledge of English grammar (to say nothing of rhetoric), and who are deficient in general education. The idea that the race, as a whole, is musical is a fallacy and the belief that any member of the race has the necessary endowment to become a musician is erroneous. There are not only individuals, but whole families in whom there is not the slightest degree of musical capacity, nor a minimum of musical talent, and in whom any sense of tune is entirely wanting. Probably no art is fancied? by so great a number of uncalled ones as that of music. Every individual, diverted from some menial but honest and necessary occupation, on the strength of one or two resonant tones, takes up music as a career. Of course the career is short, for the public soon detects and discards the incompetent aspirant, much to his chagrin and sorrow. How many of those who now create disturbance by their mechanical and uninspired work, might be occupied in their proper places at a desk or in some other practical position—if teachers were conscientious and truthful? Even a majority of those who have undoubted talent; lovely voices or expert ability to play on some instrument; those who are in demand as entertainers or who make up our concert programs (excellent performers) lack a solid theoretical training, yet wonder why their work is amateurish and why they cannot compete with real musicians. Again, most of those with uncommon talents and gifts, who have had the application necessary to master theory, have not sufficient variety of culture to distinguish themselves as virtuosi, because they are not students of art at large, but merely jealous fanciers of some particular branch of art. Thus we have violinists who know comparatively little of the song literature of Schubert, Schumann and Franz; singers who never felt it necessary to know Bach's fugues; pianist who know nothing of Beethoven's glorious symphonies; eager suitors for artistic musical honors who would be more interested in photographs of the latest celebrities than in the Rembrandt portraits in the Metropolitan museum of Art; pretentious artisans ignorant of the wealth of good poetry and literature, blind to the growth of impressionism in painting. Yet the fundamental technics of all these arts should be exemplified in the musician. True, we have notable examples of musicians who, knowing the affinity that exists between the arts and realizing the inestimable value of a broader artistic development, are constantly increasing their knowledge of all the arts; but these progressive students are in a hopeless minority to the great number of clever, talented, popular—but none the less superficially trained—musicians who need to be broused from the iethargy of their welldressed, self-satisfied mediocrity. Why, the correctly trained musicians of the race in New York City can be counted on the fingers of two hands. Our singers, if they have good voices, invariably lack intelligence; many of them with voices and brains FASHION NOTES. Most dresses touch the floor, but none of them are long. Ribbon flowers of white silk flatly applied to the hat of black beaver are most effective. This is a fur season, and wraps and coats of sable and seal are in first fashion. Large velvet bags with the personal touch of an embroidered monogram in one corner are much favored. Metallic nets and laces play an important part in the construction of most of the theater caps. Novelties appearing on the new cutting hats are wings of suede. They are remarkably odd and pretty. Fancy nows or an description have come back again, and those with touches of Roman or Persian silks are especially popular. For dancing frocks for young girls the bordered chiffons or plain or flowered nets made over china silk offer splendid possibilities at a low cost. Fur is used on nearly all velvet suits. The very small garments are bordered with ermine with the black spots removed, and the more modest costumes have rabbit instead. Badger, fox, both blue and red, and other furs are used according to the color of the suit. The craze for India head work shows no signs of diminishing. Some of the scarfs are caught together with small rosebuds made of ribbon. Fur and velvet combine in rich models for the new, evening coats. that lack temperament; most of them lack poetic imagination. Of the best singers I have ever heard, few, if given the chance to fill the place of some great artist who had become suddenly indisposed, could be relied upon to do finished work. They are not available in such an emergency; their ability to read difficult music at sight—the text possibly in a foreign language—and to manifest taste and refinement in the rendition would be sadly deficient. Have we many Negro musicians who could be depended upon to substitute in any of the great symphony orchestries? This lack of breadth in culture is evident in other spheres. Look at the dramatists who write their lines in such a way as to enable low comedians, of a certain type to give them an indecorous turn; see the painters who aim no higher than the portrayal of conventional subjects; the lyric writers who have nothing to versify but the commonplaces of amorous infatuation; the performers who think it their duty to gratify the depraved demand of their audiences. Even an artist who is doing the best he can may be doing a very low class of work; for instance, many performers at the moving picture houses, who get their living by singing cheap songs in the most unmusical way (really just shouting them out, with no regard for tone) do so to the utmost of their ability, with the most conscientious spirit of earning their money honestly and being a credit to their profession. As a matter of fact, I personally know a number of men and women who have foolishly taken up some branch of art as a livelihood, where they are by nature and training constituted to do the most efficient work as laborers; who insist upon performing and who consider it better to be a second-rate musician than a first rate mechanic. So, with absolute impartiality and a deep desire to help, here is the case as I see it: from whatever standpoint you look, there is a prevalent lack of technical efficiency; a wholly inadequate grasp of general culture and a stupefying tendency. Now, a doctor who would simply diagnose a case and not suggest a remedy, would not be of the greatest value to society; may I, therefore, offer some suggestions as a remedy for this unnecessary condition of inferiority? All musicians, whether they be singers, instrumentalists or composer, should possess a thorough knowledge of theory, harmony, counterpoint, fugue and form as a basis for any artistic achievement. They should know the best vocal and instrumental music of all sschools; they should read the best literature, not only of their race, but of all races; they should see the masterpieces of painting and sculpture; they should hear and study the greatest dramas and operas, and persistently keep in touch with the grand march past of books, of pictures, of concerts and operas, of stage plays and every new wave of energy in art or life. Only then can they hope to refocus in their own work the beauty that surrounds them in the blue sky, the autumn leaf, the smile of a child, the dreamy eyes of some soul-filled woman: for all these phenomena dwell in the evanescent realm of music and have inspired some of its greatest masterpieces; but they dwell there for the chosen alone. For him who is not chosen, these phases of art are incomprehensible. He enjoys only that music whose rhythm tickles his senses; whose melody is maudlin sentiment and whose harmony "struts about with the majestic monotony of a kettle drum between the tonic and dominant."—H. T. Burleigh, in New York Age. An Italian journalist is said to have discovered the Bible which was used by Napoleon during his exile on the island of Elba.

An Australian dairy professor summarizes the advantages of dairying in the following reasons: It takes less fertility out of the soil than any other form of agriculture, and hence it is useful in following a well regulated system of rotation. It can be combined readily with other forms of agriculture or horticulture. BONE CUTTER NEEDED. There is really only one reason why every farmer poultryman should not have a bone cutter. That is, inability to secure a regular supply of fresh bones. But there are mighty few cases where this cannot be satisfactorily arranged, and at little or no expense. Often the farmer does his own butchering and has access in this way to large quantities of good fresh bones. The dairy provides in winter a quantity of stable manure in which the straw from the farm is profitably utilized. The by-products from the cow, skim-milk, whey and buttermilk, are a source of income in raising pigs nd calves. Dairying gives constant and regular employment of a light character to every member of a farmer's family. Dairying inculcates habits of punctuality, industry, cleanliness and thrift of the farm. Cheese and butter are condensed products, and the cost of carriage, in comparison with their value, is less than than of any other farm product. The demand for good butter and cheese on the world's markets is unlimited, and, so long as the quality is maintained, an all-round, even and profitable price can always be secured. The monthly check from the factory provides the mainstay in the household as against the procarious returns from yearly crops. VARIETY OF FEEDS. The farmer or stockman who is making a business of his occupation must invest money in feeds not grown on the farm in case he has not grown a variety on his own land. Bran and shorts can be purchased in almost every town, and in many plants oil meal, tankage and other good concentrated feeds are for sale by local dealers. It pays to buy these to supplement the home-grown feeds. By their use the animals are kept growing thriftily through the period when there is no green pasture and most of them have a high manurial value. Use your own hay and fodder as a base, but purchase other feeds to supplement them if need be. They are cheap in the end. They bring fertilizers to the farm and they make the home-grown feeds go farther.—Journal of Agriculture. STARTING WITH SHEEP. As a rule, sheep owners place too much importance upon the selection of the ram and too little upon the selection of good, uniform breeding ewes. There is no question but that a good, pure-bred ram can do much to improve a flock of grade ewes, but as the flock more nearly reaches perfection, it is very necessary to devote more attention to selecting the breeding ewes, or else further improvement will be out of the question. In starting with sheep, it is advisable to select a few good ewes and a pure-bred ram, and gradually enlarge the flock as we gain a better knowledge of the flock business.—South Dakota Farmer. THE BEST ECONOMY. In starting your flock do not think it always economy to pay small prices. Better pay for good foundation stock than low for animals that will ever after plague your sense of the fitness of things when you come to know more about them—Farmer's Home Journal. THE PHILO SYSTEM. One of the main reasons for the success of the Philo system is that the hens must scratch for all they get to eat. The feed is buried in the ground several inches and the hens are kept busy scratching to get enough to eat. The exercise prevents them from becoming too fat and also keeps them out of mischief, such as feather-pulling or egg-eating. POULTRY POINTERS. Filthy drinking vessels are the cause of many serious alliments of fowls; continued drinking of impure water will produce what is commonly termed cholera and the flock is soon wiped out. With poultry, as with other animals, the faster they are made to grow while they are young the more profit there is in the business. Rush the cockerels for market and the pullets for laying. To add one pound to the weight of a chick requires on an average five pounds of feed. It is not possible for all to give their chicks unlimited range and in such cases the feeder will have to make up the deficiency by feeding bone forming elements. The best of these is green cut bone. If kept confined chickens must be given a substitute for the worms and bugs they otherwise get. A small spray pump at this season will soon pay for itself for whitewashing and disinfecting the henhouse and coops. With a small sprayer you can go over the surface ten times as fast as you can with a brush. BONE CUTTER NEEDED. There is really only one reason why every farmer poultryman should not have a bone cutter. That is, inability to secure a regular supply of fresh bones. But there are mighty few cases where this cannot be satisfactorily arranged, and at little or no expense. Often the farmer does his own butchering and has access in this way to large quantities of good fresh bones. Otherwise, the bones can be secured of almost any butcher and often he will make no charge for same, probing one will come and take them away from his shop. There is nothing "killing" about running a bone grinder—time was when it required enormous strength and muscle, but modern machines run quite easily and smoothly. The cost of a cutter, and a few minutes of time every day or two expended in running it, will be found to be one of the best investments anyone who keeps chickens can possibly made.—Epitomist. CHARCOAL FOR POULTRY. The poultryman who keeps charcoal always before his fowls will save himself a great deal of trouble provided he follows proper methods in other directions. Charcoal has the power of absorbing large quantities of gases and neutralizing their effects. When fowls are given access to crushed charcoal they will eat large quantities of it and this not only absorbs and neutralizes noxious gases in their stomachs, but it seems to have beneficial effects in other directions. A very good substitute for charcoal is parched corn, which has been kept over the fire until it is thoroughly charred. The hen may not eat this readily at first, but after they have become accustomed to it they will eat it greedily. LOOK OUT FOR CATS. The old family cat, which spends much time on the back porch or in front of the fire, is often responsible for the clucks that so mysteriously disappear. As strange as it may seem, she seems to know that she is doing wrong, and she so guards herself that it is indeed very difficult to catch her, but just the same she finds a time to bring a little chick to her kittens. We never suspect her, as she will go among the chicks when we are present, and give no attention to them. We blame the rats and hawks for all the trouble. It is a good practice, on general principles, to get rid of the cat before you hatch the chicks. She may not be guilty, but, just the same, she is always open to suspicion. Next to rats, cats are the poultryman's worst enemies. Farm Topics Who pays the taxes? asks Wallace's Farmer. So far as we have been able to discover pretty nearly everybody pays. The tax collector is as relentless as death, and few are able to sidestep him. It helps the wagonmaker to let the mud freeze to the wheels when you come in from a trip. You don't need to do it, though. By taking a little pains you can get most of the mud off while it is soft, and so save the wagon many years longer. You are better than you seem; better than you believe yourself to be. So don't give way to discouragement. The horse blankets get torn sometimes. Some blustery day take a stout needle and thread and see what a good job you can do mending the rents. It is a good thing for the men folk to do such little job as this, and not call on the women so much. They have their own work to do every day. If you are thinking of moving, better look around first to see if the time, energy and money you would spend seeking a new location would not, if wisely spent about the old place, result in an increase of profit and comfort that would justify you in staying with the old home. Better do this than be sorry. To keep plows from rusting: To three pounds of tallow mix one pound of white lead. Melt the tallow in an old iron pot; stir in the white lead. When using heat the mixture and apply it with an old paint brush. In the spring, just put the plow in the ground. This will clean the moldboard as bright in a few yards as it was before. The same applies to any farm tool used for cultivating. Hot water on the grindstone will spoil it after a little so that it will have no grit. Use warm water, not hot, for taking the frost out of your stone. What a lot of strength there is wasted chopping with dull axes! Spend a few minutes at the grindstone and see how nicely the world will go after that. Some folks make themselves so lame kicking about things that they fire themselves all out and never make anything out of life. It doesn't pay. ```markdown ``` The Baltimore Sun says that "Baltimore is still a musical center" They are still singing "My Maryland," "Old Bob Ridley" and "Cotton-Eye Joe" in Baltimore.-Austin Statesman.

Hohm, 2764 Lincoln Ave. Chicago, Ill. writes: ```markdown ``` "I buffered with catarrh of the bronchial tubes and had a terrible cough ever since a child. "I would sit up in bed with pillows propped up behind me, but still the cough would not let me sleep. I thought and everybody else that I had consumption. "So reading the papers about Peruna I decided to try, without the least bit of hope that it would do me any good. But after tak- ing three bottles I noticed a change. My appetite got better, so I kept on, never discouraged. Finally I seemed not to cough so much and the pains in my chest got better and I could rest at night. "I am well now and cured of a chronio cough and sore throat. I cannot tell you how grateful, I am, and I cannot thank Peruna enough. It has cured where doctors have failed and I talk Peruna wherever I go, recommend it to everybody. People who think they have consumption better give it a trial." OPINION NOT ALWAYS FINAL Pretty Safe to Say That Doctor'a Diagnosis Was "Away Off" In This Case. The pretty daughter of a physician is engaged to a college student of whom her father does not altogether approve. His daughter is too young to think of marriage, the doctor asserts; the college student is too young to think of it, likewise. It is out of the question. She explained all this to her lover the other night. "Father says," she summed it up; "father says, dear, that I will have to give you up." The young man sighed. "Then it's all over?" he murmured, with gloomy interrogation. And the girl laughed and blushed. "Well," she said, "well, you—you—know that when the doctor gives you up that's just the time for you to take more hope. Isn't it sometimes that way?"—Reboboth Sunday Herald. As It Appeared In Print. Senator Newlands of Nevada was soaring in debate one day, soaring so high he "hit the ceiling." He realized he was getting a trifle fowery and to excuse himself said: "Indeed, Mr. President, perfervid oratory may he pardoned, for this subject furnishes all the food eloquence needs." That sounded pretty good to Mr. Newlands, but he was a bit abashed when he read in the Congressional Record next day that he asserted his topic "furnished all the food elephants need." Very Tortuous Indeed The late Hugh J. Grant of New York once talked at a political banquet, about a noted corporation lawyer. "Oh, yes, he's a grand mind," he said. "A grand legal mind. He's got the most tortuous mind in America." Mr. Grant shook his head. "A tortuous mind indeed," he repeated. "Why, if he swallowed a nail, he'd bring up a screw." RESULTS OF FOOD. Health and Natural Conditions Come From Right Feeding. Man, physically, should be like a perfectly regulated machine, each part working easily in its appropriate place. A slight derangement causes undue friction and wear, and frequently ruins the entire system. A well-known educator of Boston found a way to keep the brain and the body in that harmonious co-operation which makes a joy of living. "Two years ago," she writes, "being in a condition of nervous exhaustion, I resigned my position as teacher, which I had held for over 40 years. Since then the entire rest has, of course, been a benefit, but the use of Grape-Nuts has removed one great cause of illness in the past, namely, constipation, and its attendant ailis. "I generally make my entire breakfast on a raw egg beaten into four spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, with a little hot milk or hot water added. I like it extremely, my food assimilates, and my bowels take care of themselves. I find my brain power and physical endurance much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuts has contributed largely to this result.

For we are members one of another. —Ephesians 4:25. Efforts have been made to reconcile the American people to the existence and domination of trusts on the ground that they are not only economic necessities, but also triumphs of civilization. Young Mr. Rockefeller's simile of the American Beauty rose will be recalled as a more or less happy illustration of the latter point. Now, the fact of the matter is that, while the trust principle may be peculiarly a modern idea, morally considered, trusts are not a product of civilization at all, but embody instead the spirit of mediaecal feudalism and even of pure and unadulterated savagery. That is to say, the primitive man had no obligations or duties—except to the members of his own household. When he met with a man unrelated to himself he did not hesitate to take from him his life or his property. The idea that the public, i. e., humanity, not related to oneself, exists to be utilized, despoiled, pludered, is, accordingly, distinctly savage. The principle of civilization is interdependence, fraternalism, mutual need and help. Now, the primary needs of humanity, as every schoolboy knows, are food, shelter and clothing. To assist men to obtain these natural requisites is to serve them, simply and surely. To render it difficult or impossible for our fellow-men to obtain these necessary things in proper quantity and quality, in order that we may secure a corresponding larger share for ourselves and ours, is to despoil and plunder them; it is to display the spirit of the savage. The man who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before is accounted a public benefactor. And so he is, in possse. The public benefactor in esse, however, is he who helps his fellow-men secure both, or one, of those blades of grass that God and intelligent men have caused to grow for man's comfort and happiness. To talk of possessing parks and pictures by contemplation is permissible poetic license, but you cannot enjoy food and shelter vicariously. We talk much today about high prices, from an economic and political standpoint. We don't realize the physical, moral and spiritual evil of those same high prices. Why, there are millions of men, women and children in this highly favored land today who are suffering—not starving, of course, but suffering, made anxious and miserable—in mind, body and soul, because for reasons which we are easily able to discover and in part at least to remedy they are not receiving a living share of the overflowing plenty with which a bountiful Providence has blessed us as a people. There can be no more timely, helpful, needful service rendered humanity than for a man or a company of men to the full extent of their ability and opportunity to help their fellowmen live as it is manifest the good God desires his children to live. That does not mean for an instant that the ministers are to preach contentment and resignation to whatever conditions happen to exist. It means that the world's workers led by the captains of industry, should honestly, earnestly plan and strive to enable the children of men to obtain a reacconveniences of life. The proper, Godable share of the comforts and intended aim and purpose of business and commerce, and of the professions as well, and especially of legislators and statesmen, is simply this, that persons who are willing to work should be enabled to live in reasonable comfort and security.

It is about time for the speaker to take his seat when his hearers begin to look at their watches. There are some who want to "get on the mountain top" without going through the valley. A life that has been given over to anxiety is well worn. The groans of the valley trial give birth to the shouts of transfiguration. The age is looking for results; let four acts count. There are a great many barking dogs that will not bite. It is nothing unnatural for a little dog to bark at a big one.

How strangely inconsiderate we are of our brother man's real happiness and welfare! The highest code of professional ethics is that of the physician. He is forbidden to patent a medical discovery or invention that may help humanity, the claims of the many being held superior to the individual advantage. Doctors do an immense amount of free work, of course, and a great deal more for which they are only partly compensated. And yet despite all this the fact remains that when a physician becomes an expert, a specialist—in short, when his ability to help his fellow-men has reached its maximum—his professional services are restricted, practically, to the wealthy, or to the free wards in the hospital. The ordinary man's need may be as urgent as that of the man of wealth, but he is virtually debarred from the services of the expert—in anything. Why? Because the fees expected are prohibitive to persons of ordinary means, experience and expensiveness being synonymous terms The man who applies the trust principle to the distribution of his personal skill and knowledge, thereby depriving the rank and file of humanity of the things they used, occupies virtually the same position as a capitalist or combination of capitalists, who through manipulation and control places articles of ordinary consumption out of the reach of the masses. Both alike in the larger sense exploit humanity rather than serve it: the difference between them is one of degree rather than kind. The ideal social system would probably be that under which the labor of one normal man could be exchanged for that of another, each conceived of as doing his best. Whatever may be our personal opinion as to that, however, we shall probably all agree that it ought not to be even now that one man working an hour or a day should be able or willing to mortgage the proceeds of a fellow-man's equally diligent, faithful labor for weeks and months. Such a condition as that ought to be intolerable to anyone who only respects his fellow-men. We do not need socialism to bring in the millennium and fortunately so. We need a new spirit rather than a new system. The spirit of Christ, who was among men as one that served; who, though he was rich, yet for our sakes, our redemption, became poor, applied even to our existing social institutions would bring a large measure of rest and peace and satisfaction to our souls and our bodies. And no artificial system of production and distribution that would not be leavened by the spirit of Christian service could hope to do nearly so much.—Rev. John I. Yellott, Belair, Md.

We must be willing to let some of our number be great before we can get to be a great people; we must furnish the capital so that one can get on his feet. We too often expect the Negro newspaper man to equal the wealthy corporation with their electric printing presses, and whose meanest reporters receive greater compensation than the best Negro editors.

If we do not learn to make a dollar by making places to make dollars, we will always come out of the little end of the horn and thus be compelled to always be used by other people in making dollars for them. It makes us awful sick to hear so much about "what we should do" and the like, while we have nothing, and then, as soon as we accumulate a small amount, enough, maybe, to start a small business, we never think in that direction again. Negroes had better take our advice and learn some sense. Do live like other sensible people, by providing for tomorrow—it is time now to look out for the coming spring and even for next year. Then why not use some common sense and do so? ```markdown ``` Give no attention to calmly howlers. Push and make your business go. Too often men of the race in business refuse to adopt the methods of success of other people; advertise liberally and push their businesses. Get out of things and remain out of them entirely too long before replenishing themselves with the things the people require and must have constantly complaining; nothing is made by handling this and that, wholly unconscious of their customers, who are looking to them to keep the things they need and must have or their customers are forced from necessity to go where they can be accommodated without regard to color or race. It is a false idea to expect to build a business on sentiment. But on merit, because you have what the people need, further, you are selling as cheap, and you are not discriminating with your customers, but, on the contrary, running a first class business.—Cadiz (Ky.) Informer. A A A If permanent results are to be obtained pastors should keep in touch with their revivals themselves. And whether the minister who helps you is a professional evangelist or a brother pastor there will be little of fasting benefit to the church unless the pastor himself enters heart and soul into the revival. He should keep his hand on the lever and make his presence and influence felt. Tails does not mean that he is to hamper the invited preacher in any sense. It means to rather help him. No visiting preacher can know your people as you know them, nor can he be so fully in sympathy with them. You know them, all the zealous ones, all the cold ones, as well as all the wicked ones. The evangelist will probably know more about revivals than the pastor, for he makes a study of revival methods, but he cannot take the place of the pastor who has labored in that field for months and years and who will remain there to labor for months to come. This is a season for religious awakenings and whatever will contribute to their efficiency will be received with interest A A A The Negro is constantly winning medals through his heroism, markmanship and scholarship. In fact, the Negro has stood the test bravely and creditably in all avenues of competition, regardless of who his competitors were.

Regardless of the cause, it would not hurt in qualify along that line.-Richmond Reformer. The church of God is one of the greatest institutions we are permitted to speak of, and it pains us to say that in one instance the church is retrograding, not in membership, but in solemnity the desire to save souls. There has been no day like the present when man has been so unconcerned about the salvation of the souls of men. Church members have grown cold and indifferent. They have lost sight of the old landmark. The first love that once was found in the bosom of the converted soul that made plim save another has passed away, growing colder and colder. The church seems satisfied with a good preacher, a good choir, a set of officers and a good pile of money to be taken up every Sunday to pay current expenses and keep the church door open, but it is not much concerned about bringing in sinners and drunkards that are on the downward road and save them once for all. The old apostolic church never did get satisfied. As we are taught in the apostles' doctrine, they kept their meetings up not only on Sunday, but every day in the week. They went from house to house trying to save souls. Where is the Salvation Army of America? Shall the church for which Christ died and spilt his blood on calvary grow cold in these days? The Reformer cries out in defense of the church and says to pastors and members, "Arise with iron heels and smite the devil and his army." For we do believe in the resurrection of the dead and the time is not far when the church shall wake up.—Richmond Reformer. ```markdown ``` That the Negro is divided and will not come together is evident. And just why this condition continues to obtain among us, is almost unexplainable, for it certainly must be clear to every sane man that in union there is strength, and in disunion weakness. It may not be, but it occurs to us that this condition is due entirely to so many of our people wanting to be leaders, and many of these would-be leaders are jealous of the real leaders, consequently the would-be leader occupies much of his time abusing our best men and women, and does everything in his power to weaken and discredit every effort to put forward for the race by the real leaders of the race. We think that such foolishness should be done away with; and a common end being determined upon, every one should do his best to bring about its consummation. This is an end to which we all should devoutly pray. A A A Economy is one of the essentials to a successful life, and there is no better time nor place to teach this fundamental principle than to children in the public schools. This question should be fully discussed in the summer normals and teachers' institutes and conventions. It it be the part of wisdom to teach pupils trades and professions for the purpose of making money it is equally wise to teach them how to properly handle the same. No person is better adapted to instill lessons of economy and frugality in the youthful mind than the teacher. The idea is not a new one by any means and from its successful operation in the old world and many of the leading cities in the United States we may reasonably conclude that it would be successfully operated in the schools the country over. ```markdown ``` Patriotism is a great thing, but, like charity, it should begin at home. We can't see why some people are so anxious to protect the foreigners and never make any effort in this country to protect themselves. A tide of reformation needs to sweep over this country of ours. While Negroes should not halt or waver in their duty when it comes to protecting the American flag, they should make more strenuous efforts to have that flag protect them. A A A Liko ministers, physicians, lawyers, merchants, etc., the school teachers are public servants, at least they essay to serve the public and to be paid accordingly. Would it not be well for them to remember this, and when patrons of their schools meet them on the street and politely speak to them should they not acknowledge the courtesy? Here in the South one is supposed to speak to others, especially when there is a personal acquaintance and it may be understood now that school teachers are not exempt—Star of Zlon. AAA The Chicago Broad Ax asked the question, "Is Jim Crowism growing in Chicago?" It answered its own question by saying "that the signs of the times seems to indicate that it is on the increase." Many of the theatres Jim Crow the Negro and he is Jim Crowed in various other ways." Many colored people reside in model homes in all sections of the city. The simple fact is, he is Jim Crowed to an alarming extent to what he was ten years ago and helps to bring it on himself.—Nashville Clarion. RACE ENTERPRISE. The subject: "What Can Be Done to Promote Race Enterprise?" which was discussed at the Men's Sunday meeting recently, was interesting from many points of view, but few of the speakers expressed really practical ideas in the case. It is not the lack of money or the lack of interest that dots race enterprises, but rather the lack of good judgment and rational effort. The enterprise rightfully begins with and depends upon the individual and not the masses or any cooperative blundering. The individual must have a little capital, but more energy, insight and pluck. He must go into a business that is a necessity and make that business so attractive that people will want its service and think they must have it. If the people want and need what you have to sell, and trading with you seems a profit or convenience or pleasure to them, they will patronize you and your business will be a success. No business is built up in a day. A small beginning, if carefully watched, patiently adhered to and gradually enlarged, will eventually become a representative enterprise. People tarde where they think they can do well, not where their only motive is to help others. Men go into business for themselves, not for their race. So all business men are bound to study the conditions they will have to meet, and meet those conditions better than anybody else does, if possible. There is no sentiment in business, no matter what the race or the conditions. The loyal and patriotic officials of a church want a round report from their church. They want their pastor paid in full and not take a suit of clothing for part payment. Pay a pastor first and then donate afterwards. There can be no donations from a church to a hard worked pastor, until his entire salary is paid in full. The pastor needs his money like all others. He has had to suffer many deprivations during the year, and he should be sent to the conference well dressed, with all claims on his charge in full. The patriotism and church pride demand that the officials of the church do tehir duty. Where any church loses its dignity, and is wanting in patriotism, it always is a hard one to pastor. We want liberal officers.-Richmond Reformer. Why He Wouldn't Shoot. A deputation of three soldiers once came to the late Doctor Lueger to make some kind of a request in their behalf. The burgomaster of Vienna turned to one of the soldiers with the following inquiry: "What would you do if the kaiser commanded you to shoot the burgomaster???" "I would shoot him," said the soldier. "So!" exclaimed Doctor Lueger, "and what is your religion?" "I am a Protestant." Doctor Lueger spoke to the second soldier. "What would you do if the kaiser commanded you to shoot the burgomaster?" "Then I would shoot him," said the soldier. "And what is your religion?" The burgomaster turned to the third soldier. "Would you have shot me if the kalser commanded you to do so?" "No," said the soldier. "And what is your religion?" "I am a Jew," he answered. "What!!" exclaimed the burgomaster, "don't you know that I am the greatest anti-Semite in Austria?

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED "I have suffered from the same trouble (painful finger nails) at different periods of my life. The first time of its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five years ago, after trying home remedies without getting helped, I asked my doctor to prescribe for me, but it was not for a year or more that my nails, and fingers were well. The inflammation and suppuration began at the base of the finger nail. Sometimes it was so painful that I had to use a poulice to induce suppuration. After the pus was discharged the swelling would go down until the next period of inflammation, possibly not more than a week or two afterwards. These frequent inflammations resulted in the loss of the nail. I had sometimes as many as three fingers in this state at one time. "Perhaps ten years later I began again to suffer from the same trouble. Again I tried various remedies, among them a prescription from a doctor of a friend of mine, who had suffered from a like trouble. This seemed to help somewhat for a time, but it was not a permanent cure; next tried a prescription from my own doctor, but this was so irritating to the sensitive, diseased skin that I could not use it. I began to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I had used the Cuticura Ointment previously on my children's scalps with good effect. I did not use the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the Cuticura Ointment into the base of the nail every night thoroughly, and as often beside as I could. I had not used it but a few weeks before my nails were better, and in a short time they were apparently well. There was no more suppuration, nor inflammation, the nails grew out clean again. One box of Cuticura Ointment was all that I used in effecting a cure." (Signed) Mrs. I. J. Horton, Katonah, N. Y., Apr. 13, 1910. On Sept. 21, Mrs. Horton wrote: "I have had no further return of the trouble with my finger nails." - Afraid of Disfigurement She—Aren't you going to ask papa tonight, George? He—No, dear.

Tomorrow, February 12, we shall celebrate the birth of a man whose memory will always ring in endearing terms in the ears of the Negroes of America and whose praises we shall never cease singing. It will be the one hundred and ninth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln and a more fitting and appropriate way of spending the day than by attending one of the two public celebrations which will be held in one of the churches and clubs of Savannah cannot be imagined. It is very necessary that we place the memory of this great martyr foremost in our thoughts tomorrow and turn out in strong numbers in appreciation of the debt of gratitude we owe to the memory of this most beloved emancipator. In a recent article in the daily papers by Supt. Ashmore of the public schools advising parents to keep their children off the streets at night and have them spend a quiet hour or two studying their next day's lessons, a world of wholesome and much needed advice was given. It is indeed very essential that in the proper training of a child both parents and teachers should work together in bringing about the desired results and there is no better way of parents showing their appreciation of the teacher's efforts to train their pupils properly or for their children's own good than by keeping them home of nights, if they are inclined to roam the streets and having them apply themselves for a certain length of time to their studies under their personal supervision. It is a duty which all parents owe their children and one which, if allowed to go unnoticed, will soon result in irreparable loss to the child. There is already too great a laxity on the part of parents in taking personal interest in the education of their children; and while the teacher may strive to the utmost to do her work conscientiously and to the best of her ability, yet the best results cannot obtain unless the parents cooperate with them. There is plenty of time in the afternoon for children to play and get recreation and when the early hours of evening set in, parents should see to it that their children come in doors and spend a little time in quiet study under their care before retiring. And not until the parents carry out this obligation to their children will the teachers be able to get the best efforts out of their pupils. After twice being sentenced to hang, Brunswick McRae, the Negro who killed a white man in Bryan County two years ago was freed of that charge on last Tuesday by a Chatham County jury, after six minutes of deliberation. The history of the case is a very interesting one and its termination in the way it did bespeaks much praise for the defending counsel, F. M. Oliver, Esq., and for the Chatham county jury that acquitted the prisoner. The specific charge for which the prisoner was held and was twice condemned to die was that he had killed a white man of Bryan county who had entered his home in the dead of night and who had attempted to take him into custody when the Negro in defense of his family and himself killed the intruder. For this act of self defense the prisoner was thrown in jail and sentenced to hang, but his lawyer after twice pleading the case of his client with the death sentence resulting on each occasion decided that it was impossible to secure an impartial trial in Bryan county and asked for a change of venue from the Atlantic circuit and as a consequence the case was brought to Chatham county and the prisoner freed of the original charge. The case is interesting for several reasons. First, because it brings to public notice a man, a Negro, who places the sanctity of the home beyond life or death, second because the majesty of the law is justly upheld, third because an impartial jury is not an unknown quantity in Chatham county, and fourth because it demonstrates the sterling qualities of a typical southern gentleman defending for purely humanitarian reasons a Negro whom he believed had been unjustly treated. And further we should be very ungrateful to this courageous gentleman of unquestioned legal fame if we stopped here in speaking of his efforts to render assistance to his twice condemned-to-die client but now free from the shadows of the gallows yet held on account of a belated warrant in the Atlantic circuit which for some reason has been misplaced and which requires a bond of five hundred dollars for the freedom of the accused man because this honorable gentleman of the best southern blood has made known his intentions of sticking by his client till he is tried of even this minor charge. This is an admirable example of the principles of equity and human justice which are characteristic of the Honorable F. M. Oliver and for which the Negroes of this city and county will always feel grateful. Interesting Food For Thought. To the Editor of The Tribune. Dear Sir: I was delighted a few weeks since in reading your admirable tribute to lawyer H. E. Wilson. Those of us who know the ex-recorder appreciate him to the full and regret his daint in the recent election, but we rejoice over his election as city attorney. Passing by West Broad and Berrien Sts. on the morning of the unveiling of the Oglethorpe monument, I heard a company of cadets shouting Hurrahs for Col. Brooks. Knowing Col. Brooks to be a most estimable gentleman I felt like shouting to them: "Thats right, Col. Brooks is a most worthy gentleman." But fearing that the young men would have mistaken my good intentions for "social equality" I passed on silently. The New York Life Ins. Co., had no more courteous official in Savannah than Maj. Brooks. He treated the colored policy holders with the courtesy and consideration which become a gentleman. The passing of the agency into other hands reminds me of the oppression of the Israelites in Egypt for it was under a king "who knew not Joseph" and the Saviour that he was to Egypt during the famine that they were made slaves and treated so cruelly. So, then, with the coming of a certain new official who should have been the last person to discriminate against a man because of his color, one who really knew "Joseph" the courteous and just treatment under Maj. Brooks became a thing of the past. Some day it might be known how much the New York Life lost through the manifestation of race prejudice in a purely business transaction on the part of the agent in question. The writer knows of one policy holder who transferred his premium to another agency and scores of men joined other companies rather than this. I think it well that Maj. Brooks and Lawyer Wilson and others should know that the few thinking people amongst us "make note" of their demeanor and that we heartily appreciate their fairness and their courtesy in dealing with us. It is just such men that are the redemption of the South. A great deal is said every now and then about the passing of the antebellum or "old time darkey." A certain element of our white fellow-citizens deplore it. I wonder if they stop to think that a certain element of colored people who are determined to do their best by their good behaviour and industry to live peaceably with them deplore in like manner, the passing of the old time Southern gentleman. His treatment of the "old time darkey" was entirely different to that of his offspring. "Young marse" today treats "Pompey's" children so different that it is in many instances, utterly impossible for that genius good feeling to exist which obtained under the old regime. As an illustration let me relate this (true incident). A year or two ago one of the first white ladies of the city called on a well known professional colored man on business, during the course of which she addressed him most courteously. A few days ago a son of this lady in speaking of him referred to him as that "fellow Smith." If the younger members of the dominant race would emulate the tenderness and consideration of their forefathers in their treatment of the Negro there would be less friction among them and the relations would be more cordial in every way. I rejoice greatly over the acquittal of Brunswick McRae. In following up the testimony I continued to ask myself this question: Is a man's house his castle only when he is a white man? Is it only then that his domicile is sacred and free from any unlawful invasion which he is at liberty to defend to the death? From every day happenings it seems that a colored man's house is regarded as an asylum whether he may be pursued and hunted, often ruthlessly murdered by lawless people for the most trivial affair. It is not my purpose to condone murder or lawlessness of any kind, but Brunswick McRae in acting as he did was unconsciously living up to the adage. "Like master like man," which means, "As the master does so will his servant do." Is it reasonable to suppose that an imitative race, as the colored people are said to be, could live amid the lawlessness which often is practiced by the stronger race without imitating them. When a Negro is murdered by a white man the usual and common defense is that the "nigger" was advancing on me with a fence rail, a razor, a pistol, etc." Some times the flimsy defense is put up that he simply had his hands in his pockets. With what result? That he falls dead in his tracks at the hand of the white man. What is a Negro to do when his house is entered by determined men not with their hands in their pockets, nor with fence rails but with deadly winchester rifles and other implements of warfare. My heart goes out in gratitude to Brunswick McRae's able counsel and to the fearless and righteous members of the jury. We are gushing a lot today about a "Greater Savannah" but Savannah nor any other city will ever be great until its citizens practise to the full Righteousness and Justice to all men, and especially to members of the weaker race. Yours truly, A. L. Evangelical Ministers Union. The Evangelical Ministers met with Dr. L. A. Townsley presiding. Devo- tional service was conducted by Rev. J. D. Stone.

A solicitor from the Savannah Tribune spent several days at Thebes last week on business, while here he was taken on a hunting trip, the guest of Messrs. B.W. Byrd and Edward Rorbets. The day being very warm game was rather scarce but the party was fairly successful bagging a few birds. On returning the party was very tired and was glad to accept the kind hospitality of Mr. Isaac Morrison. Through the earnest efforts of the solicitor the Tribune is fast becoming very popular in the homes of the Liberty County people. Mr. T. M. Way the popular merchant of Arcadia has just completed a beautiful two-story residence and all T. M. needs now is a better half, wonder who will be the lucky lady? Say T. M. don't forget that the Tribune carries a large and up-to-date line of wedding invitations. Friends of Mrs. Charles Roberts of Dorchester will be pleased to learn that she is convalescing. Mr. M. B. Roberts who has been confined to bed for several weeks is very much improved. Mr. W. R. Rogers of Lake City, Fla., spent several days at Limerick the guest of his mother-in-law Mrs. C. A. Johnson. Say Bill, now on the level, aren't you satisfied? We haven't forget several years ago you stole one of our most popular girls away from us. IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE.

Negro Newspapers Shouldbe Supported and Encouraged. Whatever our white friends may think or do, there {s absolutely no reason in the world why we should sxpéct cach other to make bricks without straw. It should never be sald by any of us that the Negro ja aot capable of doing this or that until we dave given him a fair trial. The exigencies of the times have driven the Negro into many paths which he heretofore had no {dea of entering; but now he is in them and Is struggling to make good It is our Indispesable duty to help alm all we can. It does not Ile in our mouths to condemn him until we have given him a fair trial and he falls to meas- ure up to the proper standard. It is all right for us to coxtend that the Negro shall provide for himself and others; that Negroes must go into business so that plates can be pro- vided for the young people wio are coming out of school and lave no opening to which they may apply themselves, we should be more persis- tent in continuing to advocate the en- terprise of all kinds among our peo- ple, not only to give employment to onr boys and girls, but for other rea- sons equally 2s important, But when we do these things it is equally our indispensible duty to support them In so doing, until we have done all in our power, it is not for us to con- demn, Again, it fs not fair for us to spend our time and energy, in striving to ‘That a large number of our people do not read any newspaper {s a fact much to be regretted because of the information that {s lost to them. And that a vast majority do not read any Negro newspaper is still more regret. table because of the lack of race pridé and race cooperation that it establish- es. But, of those that do read papers published by either or both races it is amusing, and no less astonishing to see or know how few. read anything outside of the court proceedings in the white, or the local and society notes in all of them. In many !n- stances tae absence of a preponder- ance of local and society items affords an opportunity for disgust’ and for Pronouncing the paper as having “nothing in it this week.” And many times the Negro paper receives an un- deserving setback because it has not supplied enough of that class of news. Writing of Negroes and newspapers naturally puts us to thinking of the support of Negro papers ‘received from the people in general and also trom our business and profesafonal men.

Preaching {s all right as far as It goes, but preaching will never take the place of doing, It fs all right to preach as to what we should do, but the very best preacher in the world is the fellow that glves force to his preaching by doing the very: thing he preaches. We know of several In- stances in which some of our leading men preach that the Negro ought to do this and ought to do the other, but waen It comes to the place where he hight give force to his preaching by doing he fails. And in his falling he very often discourages the man who Ig striving to’ do. This is not right. If we belleve that the Negro should make a supreme effort to help aimself, then {t is our indispensible duty, to stand by bim and give him all the help possible. It will then be found that a pound: of help will be worth a ton of preaching—The Afro-Ameri- can Ledger. who subscribe for them will not pay for what they receive. That is true of the-general mass of people. Now, as to our professional and business friends. It is our experience and we Suppose It {s the same with other publishers, that a large major- ty of the men of all professions and those doing imercantile business will not advertise In the advertising col- utans of the, race papers where they are doing business, nor will they sub- scribe for the paper; and yet these very Negro business and professional men will use the local columns of the paper that is not worthy of their finan- cial support to advertise thelr services and so forth {f they be preachers; to hail their success in treatment of cases Jf they be doctors; their abil- ity and reliability if they be lawyers; and the quality of their goods, the largeness of their stock, and thetr wil- lingness to serve the public it they are In any business at all. It seems to us that it will be the part of wisdom and fairplay for our people of all walks of life to give mor- al and financial support to these Ne- gro journals that are at work for their Interest, and that are a help to them. —Charlotte (N.

(eee VACREee Sees) In a comment upon Mississipp! pop- ulation census figures the New Or. leans Times-Democrat sald that “when the population by races is given it will be shown that the decrease has been mainly among the Negroes; and that the Negro majority is much smaller than it ever was before. I! the present tendencies continue, Mis: sissippi will soon become, as Louis fana has become in the last twenty years, a white state. The immigra- ton 13 manly white, the emigration weevil.” : | Immigration as an influence on our ‘state population is a negligible quan- tity. As to the race proportions, while it 4s not possible, to speak definitely until the race tables are given out, tie figures ag we have read them do not justity the conclusion above stat: ed. This we will show, first quoting further from the Tlmes-Democrat: 7 “Im the seven counties along the river from the Louisiana ine to Greenville, Adame, Clairborne, Jeffer- son Oktibbeha, Warren, Washington and Wilkinson, the population the last ten years declined from 203,955 to 185,100, a loss of 18,855. The great bulk of this loss has been, of course, in Negroes. The loss is more taan made good for the entire state by the immigration, mainly white, into the ‘umber district. In the fifteen coun ties of Southwest Mississ{ppl, where the Jumber development has been greatest, the population has increased in the decade from 154,159 to 219,786 —that {s 62,6627, or nearly 43 per cent” Stated accurately, the territory”taat hag lost population from the boll wee- vil extends from the Louisiana line to the Yazoo river—bundred miles South of Greenville—and includes the counties of Warren,,Clatrborne, Jeffer- son, Adams and Wilkinson. But the Joss has been a mere shift from the counties below to the counties above the Yazoo. The two Delta counties ‘of Bollvar and Leflore gained 26,204, ‘while all five of tae counties South of jthat stream lost 18,101. And while j‘the fifteen counties of Southwest (Southeast?) Mississippi have gained 65,627 population, mainly white,” the eight Delta counties of Sharpey, Sun- flower, Leflore, Bollear, Coachma, Tu- nica, Quitman and Tallahatcbie, aave gained 68,185, mainly black. For the purpose of correction we quote further from the Times-Demo- erat: “When the boll weevil has come fhe Negro has become demoralized ‘and fied, looking for a home else- where, The white man, on the con- trary, has adapted fhimself to the new conditions, looking for some other srop to take the: place of cotton.

Old age knows a great deal when It is too late to do anything with it An easy way to get into trouble in an argument is to ave it about pol- ities. It takes a woman not to cry when she is hurt and to do it when she isn’t. ‘The weather and his liver have the most to do with a man's point of view, ‘The time a man’ wants to back his fedgment the hardest is when it is TORE.

Hardly anybody is such an expert liar as the man who says he likes to work before breakfast. ‘There are few things more exhaust- ing than having to pretend to be amused by @ funny man, Women have such a good influence on a man it fs astonisaing it doesn’t seem to do him any good. : Other people prejudice us against their judgment by their obvious lack of admiration for our own exploits, You can’t tell how much a woman joesn’t know*by what she says about it . ‘Tho fascinating thing atout an ar- gument is your hope that wheh the bther fellow fs right you might make somebody think he is wrong—From “Reflections of a Bachelor,” in the New York Press. 7 When @ man isn't judged by his money it’s by his clothes.

A very energetlc campaign became ue- cessary to check this panic. There was no disposition to prevent the emi- gration of the Negroes, but only tc allay the wild, scare that prevailed among them and to get them to lis ten to reason." Upon ail the facts that have come to the knowledge of the Herald, what- ever of “panic”? there was among the Negroes was largely due to the action ot merchants and land owners, After ‘a year of the boll weevil there was not only no disposition by some sup- ply merchants and planters to pre vent Negro migration—they were s0 demoralized that they called in Delta planters to pay the debts remaining against the laborers, after stripping them of work stock, and take them to the Delta. In this transaction the Ne- gro had no option. Few would ever have migrated could they have been assured of working, stock, and Ilving supplies for the ensuing year. It wat the actual fear of starvation, waich no assurance against was extended a year ago, that led to the “pante™ which a very energetic,” but belated “campaign become necessary te check.” But it is not so that “the Negroes were fleeing they know not whither, without any provision for themselves,” etc. For every famlly that left there were two Delta plan- ters eager to guarantee them “provis. ions.” It is not strange taat after the m- gration was thus given headway by some, that it involved other land dwn ers who exhausted every persuasion to induce their labor to stay with them, The contention that the Ne groes were not primarily responsible for the panic which has involved @ serious loss of tenantry in tae bool weevil territory, is sustained by the fact that in some of the Louisiana bolll weevil parishes the white land owners resisted it successflly. Con- cordia, Catahoula, Rapides, Avoyelles and other boll weevil parishes, gain in population, The facts of the case show that with prompt and proper ac- tion by the merchants end planters “Negroes will not look for homes else- where.” Where the land owners have done their part there is no doubt but what their labor has, and will “adapt themselves to the new conditions.” On this point all planters in this vicin- ity have much more confidence than they had a year ago. ew CHINESE ARE BURIED. There are no cemeteries in China, though graves may be met with ev- lerywhere in the land of the Celestials. The Chinese common people bury their dead on their own ground or by the wayside, so that one cannot travel in any djrection without en- countering a grave. The graves are sacred and must not be disturbed. ‘They are carefully attended by the living, every year being visited by votive candles and fireworks, meat land wine, The foreign element per- sistently seeks to introduce Taliways {into China, put to go in anything like fa straight line a railway, no matter where lald, would have to run over thousands of graves, To the Chinese this is desecration, and they will die before they permit it. In some meas- lure this accounts for the antipathy of the Chinaman to foreigners.—Argus. DO YOUR BEST. ‘Make it a life rule to glve your best to whatever passes through your hands.

' This {s the story of one of the mem- bers of the Massachusetts Naval Re- serves. On the second night of the cruise of the San Francisco one of the amateur tars was on-watch. The night was clear, and myriads of stars twinkled in the sky, but there was no moon. Suddenly the reserve sang out, “Light ahoy!" “Where away?” asked the officer of the deck. “Far, far away,” replied the would-be manof- war's man, When the officer had re- covered from the shock occasioned by this unseamanlike answer he looked over the rall in the direction indicat+ ed by the reserve's finger, and then he had another fit. “What's the matter with you?” growled the officer. “Can't you recognize the rising moon when you see It?” “Boon! moon!” stammered the embryo sea dog. “I beg your pardon, sir!” Then he shouted, as if making amends for his error, “Moon ahoy!” Diisine Senasa Gan, .

TO THE COUNTRY NEGROES There is one little poem we fairly worship. It is called "The Country Church," and was written by Dean L. H. Bailey of the New York State College of Agriculture. Part of it runs thus: "In some great day The Country Church Will find its voice And it will say: Of its bountiful fruit and grain, Where the furrows turn "Till the pughshares burn As they come round and round again. Where the workers pray With their tools all day. in sunshine and shadow and rain. build my great temple alway; point to the skies Put my footstone lies But my footstone lies In commonplace work of the day, For I preach the worth Of the native earth; To work and to love is to pay." During the years that we have had the pleasure to enjoy this poem there has developed in our mind an ideal "country church," adapted to the condition of the country Negro. We have always hoped that there would be nothing to hinder its realization except the peculiar social conditions. We have hoped for the development of a large class of Negro preachers who might find out that their flocks have bodies as well as souls, men who have clean souls, clean bodies, clean minds, uncompromising views, rejoicing not in iniquity, but rejoicing in the truth. We confess that we have been much disappointed. The manner in which men who are descendants of so-called "respectable" families, graduates of reputable colleges and theological seminaries, are said, to condescend to the deeds of the machine politician, the narrow demagogue and the greedy grafter is a blot, a terrible check on the remarkable progress the Negro race has already made. Some men may argue that he has made this great progress under these very conditions as if such contributed anything to the Negro's progress. Our answer is that he progressed in spite of these conditions and not because of them. The Negro race, in view of a different environment of the present day, can never hope to continue this progress along with such careless living. For a period indefinitely fixed the Negro preacher will continue to be the leader of the Negro people, but may God have mercy on the people when such exponents of inward rottenness are to furnish the examples for the rising youth of the race! Many of the gentlemen (2) of the cloth seem to copy solely of the worst in American life. Once upon a time a poor fellow stole six eggs and they sent him to state's prison. At another time another man stole a railroad and they sent him to the United States senate. The latter example seems to be the one gibly followed by some of the Negro preachers. A preacher is often kept up or down according to his standing with the "machine" and the secret order, not according to the purity of his life. If he has lived a life void of offense toward God and man, the machine does not help him to raise by that alone. If he is a pious scoundrel, no powers on earth or beneath it can remove him from the entrenched position in which he is sinking an unfortunate CURRENT EVENTS. Col. John H. Mosby, the famous Confederate cavalry leader, now living in Washington at 75 years of age, proposes to capture New England this winter by delivering twelve lectures there relating to his civil war experience. A special order from the navy department will permit three brothers—Fred A., James LeRoy and John Gerald Conrad of Oak Park—to serve together throughout their service in the navy. They are now on the battleship Indiana. Pat Lawless of Shamokin, whose 50 years of life were mostly spent in prison, dropped dead in a cell in the Mahanoy Plane lockup recently. When he wasn't in jail or a fugitive from justice he traveled about the country mending umbrellas. Deputy Consul General Ulysses J. Bywater of Dresden states that the total revenue of the Saxon State railroads during the first half of 1910 was $18,311,750, or $1,056,104 more than in the corresponding period last year.

Occupants of rocking chairs are cooled by an attachment that has been invented to sway a fan to and fro as the chair is moved. rince lower and lower with each breath. The old, grayheaded mothers and fathers, used to tell us some beautiful stories about heaven and we have always wanted to go there when we have become useless here; but if some of the preachers who talk about heaven are on their way there we don't want to go, for to them, truth is certainly stranger than fiction. But the point that strikes us most forcibly is this: All denominations sem to regard the country man as an insignificant part of their constituencies. When a minister is young some "break him in" by giving him a country charge. When a minister is old, broken down, and, to all city intents and purposes, useless, they "turn him out to graze" on the country. When a man has more clerical ambition than common sense and education, and makes himself a persistent nuisance, they either put him in the country or allow him to set up a church of his own—if it pays. When a man turns out to be too vile for city use, the country becomes the happy dumping ground where his villianous soul may feed on the fat of the land, infest the vicinity with its cancerous rottenness, break up the holy happiness in men's families, and, when he goes, leave a running sore on the community. His work is all the more effective because of his superior training in resculity, the weakness and ignorance of his victims and, the mendacious pley of his dress, which in many cases literally covers a multitude of physical sins. A criminal with a long Prince Albert and a longer face is no better than one garbed in prison stripes; and if the one could exchange attire with the other, society would often profit by the change. When men become unfit for city use, for heaven's sake, for the sake of the poor, downtrodden Negro, "turn the rascale out." Is the country districts we need men of sterling character and worth, men of vigor, men with conveltions, 'men whom the love of office cannot buy, men whom the spoils of office cannot kill;" men with an uncompromising regard for the truth; men who are interested in the farmers' material life, who can that the country church needs intensive religious culture just the same as the farm needs intensive agriculture. We need men with vision to see beyond their noses and their purses, man who can see the "glory of the coming of the Lord" in the glorious ever-increasing yield of corn. We do not need men so wrapped up in Greek roots that they can see no virtue in corn roots. May the Almighty relieve the Negro farmer or the young preacher with the city ambition; of the old preacher that was run over by the "machine," and of the pious scoundrel in pastoral garb. May the Almighty give men to the country church—Southern Ploughman. Bobby's Good Time. Bobby has, just returned from his first Christmas party and mamma, who has a visitor, is very proud.

THOUGHT SHE'D NEVER GET UP But Lady in Chriesman, Who Went to Bed With This Idea, Has Changed Her Mind. Chrissman, Tex.-In a letter from this place, Lillie Gibson says: "About three years ago, I was just entering womanhood and was sick in bed for nearly nine months. I took medicines from four doctors, but it didn't help me. Sometimes, I would ache all over, and I would have such a headache, I had to go to bed. "I was in a bad fix, and that is all there is to it. I thought I would try Cardul. Now I am cured of all my troubles, and I shall praise Cardul as long as I live. My sister said I never would get well, but now I am perfectly well, and I am thankful for what the medicine did for me." Cardul is made from strictly vegetable ingredients. It acts gently on the womanly organs, stimulating them to do their proper work, relieving pain and restoring health. Are you weak, tired, worn out?

As he was leaping the ball struck him on the head, went through the crown of his hat and lodged there. The base runner was out and the fielder had not touched the ball with his hands.

PROFICIENCY DEMANDED. The officers of a lodge in any branch of Masonry owe it to them- selves, the candidates, and their brethren to become letter-perfect tn their parts, and to deliver the lectures intelligently. This is more of a con- tract than it appears to be on the surface. : : It is needless to Yepeat what ail ‘Masonic fraterz nave long urged, the importance of makmg a good first impression upon the candidate. If ae iz “put through” with dignity and dis- patch, he will have respect for the in- stitution and if the work is bungled, he will carry away a bad taste in bts ‘mouth. Then again where the work is per- fectly and smootaly done, the attend- ance will be larger and the attend- ants more “interested. A man could not be expected to enjoy reading an ungrammatical, misspelled article, and Masonic degree work that 1s bobbled and botched is positively painful to the witnestes. A man may attend jodge meetings from a sense of duty, ‘but if the work 1s carelessly and poorly done, next time the voice of duty does not speak nearly so loud. The Yectures and instructions are beautiful and dignified. ‘The bnes al- most say themselves and they aré bound to impress the hearers if de- lvered in anything ‘ike the proper manner. It is not necessary to ges- ticulate cr attempt oratorical flight or frenzied raetoric. It 1s necessary to speak distinctly, and with regard to. the thought. Avoid bunching the words of the obhgations in such a manner that their meaning is not clear to the candidate. Speak as if you meant the sentiments and as if they meant something to you. A mere parrotlike repetition of the words Will not suffice. . A QUAINT LEGEND. Tue Masonic fraternity (says the Montreal Star) has a quaint old leg- end, which has come down from very ancient times, from the days when the fiaternity was an operative one and engaged ih the building of the cathedrals, abbeys, castles, etc., throughout Europe, some of whicn are still in existence and excite the interest and wonder of tne people ot today, and are the pride of the State or locality in which they are located. The legend states that once mm ey- ery year, as the deep tones of the bell of the Strasburg cathedral peal cut the solemn hour ot midnight, the spirits of tue ancient stonema- sons, by whose patient and skillful hands that magnificent and sacred edi- fice was erected, issue from the tomb and turn again to inspect the result of their former labors. Up trom the gloomy tombs they come along the dim majestic alsles, and aeross the marble pavement, with noiseless steps and slow. The apprentices with their aeavy burdens, the craftsmen with their. tools, and the masters with their compasses, stream forth in long and shadowy train, wind thes times around these noble walls, 'then vanish till‘another year calls them fortb.

He derives {t from a cer- tain Captain Fudge, who seems to have been his crew's equivalent to the mod. em “Rats!” In a collection of some papers of William Crouch, the Quaker, published in 1712; it 1s recorded that one Degory Marahzll informed Crouch that “in the year 1664 we were sen- tenced for banishment to Jamaica by Judges Hyde and Twisden, and our number was 55, We were put on board the ship Black Eagle; the master's name was Fudge, by some called Lylng Fudge.” “Bosh” sounds a fairly good English word to apply to your political oppo- nent’s arguments. It isn't. Skimming Dr. Beddoes’ “Memories of Eighty Years” one finds tne doctor trying to explain the Protestant religion to a mullah. “It seems a very decent sort of religion,” sald the mullah, in excel- lent English. But there were two ob- Jections. Thevfirst was that we “pay no honor to the prophet.” The second was “your doctrine of the Trinity, Which you will excuse my saying is bosh.” We have got the word from the Turkish. It means nonsense, And “bosh Jakirdle seullersen” means “you speak empty words.” CAT WAS REVERED IN JAPAN She Lived In Temples and Was Known as the Guardian of the . Manuscripts. According to a Japanese writer, the domestic cat appeared in his country at a relatively recent epoch; having traveled from China with the mis- sionaries of Buddhism. In the middle the sixth century of the Christian era sacrifices were offered to the cat, which was known by all as “the guardian of the manuscripts.” “The guardian of the manuscripts” kept away the mice, who otherwise would have eaten“the precious papy- rus; #2 some Instances placards were set in conspicuous places among manuscripts as a warning to the mice: Beware! he cat is here. She drives the mice. Portraits of cats’ were also placed in places frequented by mice. The cats were revered. For a long time they were kept In the temples. But their beauty, their general destr- ability and the charm of thelr grace, affection for man, and adaptability to human conditions so appealed to the layman that one by one very gradual- ly thelr kittens were permitted to leave the temples and to become the pets of the nobility. After entering the families of the high officials of the Empire they won their way into humbler households, American Robins In England. An attempt has been made to intro- duce the American robin into Surrey, with apparent success, Six pairs turn- ed loose last June near Guilford have reared about 40 nestlings.

PARSON SAUNDERS’ ‘\"3D0M Having Made a Mistake In Scriptural Reading He Said “Hero Endeth thé, Wrong Lesson.” Champ Clark, the noted Demo- cratic leader, was condemning, in a apecch in Bowling Green, a political measure, - : “TPs a wrong measure,” he said, “and our friends would do well to ‘admit it’s a wrong measure, To ad- mit on error wins pedple over—to admit an error is almost as good as to retrieve it. - __ “Take the case of Parson Saun- ders. . a “Parson Saunders, a little per- turbed one Sunday morning over the high cost of living or some such worldly matter, made a mistake in the reading of the Scriptural lessons. He read the second lesson where he should have read the first. “As he neared the end of his read- ing the parson saw that he was in error: He saw that his congrega- tion knew he was in error. How, then, conclude? “To conclude in the orthodox way Here endeth the second lesson’-— would hardly do, as it was not the second lesson, but the first; nor could it, on the other hand, be called the first lesson, since it properly was the second. “ “Parson Saunders, after a mo- ment’s thought, wisely and frankly concluded : | “Here endeth, the wrong lesson. ” ODD OPERATIONS ON ANIMALS Frenchman Invented Eyeglasses for Fowls and Engllsh Dentist Gave Dog Set of False Teeth. A French inventor has taken out a patent for providing fowls with eyeglasses. We have heard before of cows which wore spectacles, and it was an American who hit on the de- Vice of tinting them green. About twelve years ago a dentist in the West end of London provided a dog ‘with a set of false teeth. ‘The opera- tion took fen days of difficult work. The animal was first of all chloro- formed, then models of ita mouth were taken, metal dies were cast and plates made to-fit each jaw. In the end the fortunate animal was able to crunch bones to powder as easily as any of his fellow-canines. One of the animal’s pups was afterward sold to the princess of Wales, now the queen-mother. Doctor Cavineh, a veterinary surgeon of Atlanta, once performed the unusual surgical op- eration of trepanning a Jion’s skull, which had been fractured in a ter- rific fight with another of its species. The king of the forest was rendered insensible by ether and then bound feet and head. An incision was made in the skull and the crushed bone was raised. The animal felt some -pain and lashed its tail, but ‘in the end the operation was entirely suc- cessful. DESERVED THE PRIZE, A farmer calling at the village school was asked by the master if he would like to question the scholars, So he said to the class: “Tf either of you can tell me the weight of the moon, the depth of the sea and: what Iam thinking about I will give a prize of sixpence.” There were twin brothers in~this class named Sam and Joe. Now Joe put up his hand and the farmer said, “Well, Sam, what is your answer?” Joe replicd: “The weight of the moon is four quarters, the depth of the sca is a stone’s throw,” and then he paused. ‘The farmer responded, “Well, Sam, what am I thinking about?” ‘Why, you are thinking you are talking to Sam, when it is his brother Joe;”—. Ideas, TEACHING CHIVALRY. + My dear little boy has been taught by his father’s example, as well as by his teaching, that his mother is the weak one, the one to be cared for and helped. He does not think mamma should get his hat, find his books and wash his face, but rather that he should get ready for school, get plenty of wood for her, and help her with the diss if possible.” ‘Then when he comes home he has his re- ward, for after the fire is laid and more wood in, he'can play until sup- per time, This little boy looks up and cares-for his little sister in, the same manner as he does his mother. —M: B,, in Harper's Bazar.

Because ‘a woman dreamed and worked for years to realize her dream, Cleveland will have a school where modern languages, Freich, German, Italian and Spanish, will be taught by teachers native to the countries. Pupils will learn to speak each of the languages “as well as though it had been learned in the country where it was invented,” Mme. Archinard will be at the head of the new school, which will be called the Practical School of Language and which will be opened in a house equipped for the purpose. Mme. Archinard came to Cleve- land eight years ago. She was born in Paris and for several years previ- ous to coming here taught in a pri- vate school just outside of that city. All this time it has been her great ambition to see a school started here where the languages could be taught in a practical manner, in a way that would enable cach of the students to become proficient in pronunciation and in using the idioms of the lan- guage which he would study. Already German, Spanish and Italian teachers have been engaged. —Clereland Plain Dealer. WOMAN’S WAY.
