AMERICAN TROOPS CROSS THE BORDER Killing and Wounding of Americans Causes Invasion. AMERICAN TOWN UNDER FIRE. First Time During Revolution Any Person Has Been Stain on American Side as the Results of Border Fighting--Many See Battle. Agua Prieta, Mexico.—During a battle which lasted five hours and resulted in the capture of this city by the rebels, commanded by "Red" Lopez, American troops crossed the border and stopped the fighting. The action was taken after two men had been killed and several wounded in Douglas and the continued firing was endangering the lives of Americans on United States territory. Douglas was under constant fire three hours. Agua Prieta surrendered to the rebels at night after one of the most spectacular battles of the Mexican insurrection. There are many dead and wounded. This is the first time during the insurrection that any person has been killed on the American side as the result of the border fighting. The dead and wounded of both the rebels and Federalers were taken to Douglas. Federal soldiers to the number of 30 fled to the American side an hour before the battle ended and were disarmed by the American troops. The rebels shot down many Federalers as they ran. Wounded Federal prisoners were escorted from Agua Prieta to the border, where they were released as fugitives on American soil. Lopez's band numbered not more than 150, while the Federal defenders numbered 65. It was stated that the rebels will try to hold Agua Prieta in the hope of winning recognition as belligerents by the United States. Thousands of Americans rushed to the International Line, but as the firing continued they had to seek shelter behind adobe buildings and in ditches. About 15 minutes after the firing began the headquarters of the commissario blew up with a terrific report. Agua Prieta is the terminal of the Nacozarl railroad into Sonora and is the most important point on the border between El Paso and the Pacific ocean. Following are the American dead and injured: ROBERT HARRINGTON. J. C. EDWARDS. The wounded: —— DIKO. E. E. CROW; probably will die. A. R. DICKSON, shot through the thigh; condition serious. CARLOS LENNON, shot in leg. GENEVIEVE COLE, shot through arm. W. SINGLETON, flesh wound in arm. At 3.35 o'clock Capt. J. E. Gaujot, of Troop K, Fifth Cavalry, U. S. A., learned of the attack on Agua Prieta and ordered his command of 40 troopers to the international line. Between the Customs House and the first monument the Federal bullets and those from the rebel rifles father south pecked and dusted the desert. Into this rode the United States cavalry, deploying along the line. Peace Overtures Fall. Chihuahua, Mexico. — Another peace project failed when Frederico Moye and Dr. F. R. Seyferts returned in automobiles from Madero's camp near Bustillos, 60 miles west of here, and reported their mission had been without definite result. Francisco I. Madero, the insurrecto leader, refused to conclude peace terms offered, which he regarded as nothing more than the promise already made by President Olaz in his Congressional message. Attends Own Funeral. Bristol, Tenn.—While a body supposed to be that of James Swecker, Civil War veteran, was being buried here, Swecker appeared on the scene and startled the mourners. The resemblance was remarkable. Referendum Bill Loses. Nashville, Tenn.—The State Senate rejected two bills proposing amendments to the Constitution. One provided for the initiative and referendum and the other made ministers eligible to seats in the Assembly. HATCHED TOWNS BLOWN OFF THE MAP. Tornado's Wide Sweep Over Kansas and Oklahoma--Many Persons Are Killed. Kansas City, Mo.—A heavy wind storm, attaining the velocity of a tornado in some sections, and accompanied by rain, hail and lightning, swept over western Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma, killing 13 persons, practically destroying two towns, injuring almost a hundred persons, wrecking scores of buildings and putting almost every telephone and telegraph wire in the territory out of commission. The tornado levied its greatest toll of death at Big Heart, Okla., where eight persons were killed, 10 injured and almost every building in the town wrecked. Whiting, Kas., was practically wiped off the map, 60 buildings being blown down, 30 people hurt, and one. Mrs. David Stone, killed. At Powhattan, Kas., a woman and child were killed. A high school building was wrecked at Eskridge, Kas., a number of houses damaged and from 15 to 20 persons injured. At Hiawatha, Kan., a school was blown down and a boy named Felton killed. Several buildings were struck by lightning. Several persons are known to have been hurt at Netawaka, Kan. A boy was killed at Manville, Kan. The Kansas end of the tornado started near Whiting and swept in a southeasterly direction for a distance of more than 50 miles. It is thought that many more people were killed and injured than have been reported at this time. POLO GROUNDS BURNED National League Park in New York Partly Destroyed. New York.—The great double-deck grandstand and the right field bleachers at the National League Baseball Park were destroyed by fire Thursday morning, causing a loss estimated at $250,000. The clubhouse and the center and left field bleachers were saved and the fire, which started at 12.30 A.M., was under control two hours later. Originating from some unknown cause, the blaze sped with almost incredible swiftness, licking up first the double-deck grandstands and spreading then to the bleachers at the south and north. The grandstand was a crescent in shape and had been enlarged in the last two years so that it covered half the circumference of the ground and seated about 20,000 persons. GIRLS OFFERED FOR SALE Pitiful Stories of Suffering in Panic- Stricken China. Shanghai.—Pitiful stories of suffering in the famine-stricken areas of China reach this city daily. Sixty girls were offered for sale at one small town without a purchaser, because the food the slaves eat was more valuable than their lives. Only death, therefore, awaits them. Heavy rains have partly re flooded the famine districts for the third time in two years, rendering extremely difficult the importation of grain for the relief of the starving thousands. Wants Lorimer Ousted. Concord, N. H.—The New Hampshire Senate, by a vote of 16 to 6, adopted a resolution informing Senators Gallinger and Burnham that "the sentiment of the people of New Hampshire appears to be that Senator Lorimer- should not be allowed to retain his seat in the United States Senate." The resolution was then sent to the House for concurrence. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1911. FARM MATERIALS ON FREE LIST Bill to Make Canadian Reciprocity Easier. BOTH MEASURES INTRODUCED Reciprocity to Be Given Right of Way --Will Have Easy Travelling in the House, But Will Meet Opposition in Senate. Washington, D. C.—Representative Oscar W. Underwood, the Democratic leader, Introduced the Canadian Reciprocity Bill, and another bill in the House authorizing changes in the tariff as a concession to agricultural interests which are bitterly opposed to the Canadian pact. The Underwood Bill bearing on Canadian trade is in all essentials drawn along precisely the lines of the McCall Bill which failed in the last session. In fact, the same language is used, only a few verbal changes appearing in the measure, both bills having been patterned after the agreement negotiated with Canada by President Taft. The farmers' bill, the second measure presented by Chairman Underwood, places a hundred or more articles on the free list, including agricultural implements, leather goods, fence wire, meats, cereals, flour, lumber, sewing machines, salt and other articles. The complete list of articles to the free list follows: Plows, tooth and disc harrows, headers, harvesters, reapers, agricultural drills and planters, mowers, horse rakes, cultivators, threshing machines and cotton gins, farm wagons and farm carts and all other agricultural implements of any kind and description, whether specifically mentioned herein or not, whether in whole or in part, including repair parts. Bagging for cotton, gunny cloth and all similar fabrics, materials or coverings, suitable for covering and balling cotton, composed in whole or in part of jute, jute butts, hemp, flax, seg, Russian seg, New Zealand tow, Norwegian tow, aloe, mill waste, cotton tares, or any other materials or fibers suitable for covering cotton and burlaps and bags or sacks composed wholly or in part of jute or burlaps or other materials suitable for bagging or sacking agricultural products. Hoop or band iron or hoop or band steel, cut to lengths, punched or not punched or wholly or partly manufactured into hoops or ties, coated or not coated with paint or any other preparation, with or without buckles or fastenings, for baling cotton or any other commodity, and wire for bailing hay, straw and other agricultural products. Grain, buff, split, rough and sole leather; bead, bend or bolting leather; boots and shoes made wholly or in chief value of leather made from cattle hides and cattle skins of whatever weight, of cattle of the bovine species, including calfskins, and harness, saddles and saddlery, in sets or in parts, finished or unfinished, composed wholly or in chief value of leather, and leather cut into shoe uppers or vamps, or other forms suitable for conversion into manufactured articles. Polsoned From Cheese Zanesville; O.—Four small children of George Zjmmerman, of McConnellsville, were poisoned by eating cheese UNCLE SAM TO MIND BABIES Washington, D. C.—A government nursery" is proposed in a bill introduced in the House by Representative Barnhart (Democrat, Indiana), to authorize the formation of a "baby bureau" in the Department of Commerce and Labor. The bill provides for a head of the bureau, who shall be a practical authority on children. The investigation of conditions of child life, child labor, child health, schools, juvenile courts and child desertions are to be undertaken by the bureau. Reports of these investigations and all the activities of the bureau are to be published and distributed. Representative Barnhart said: "I believe that the government has other and more important missions than the fixing of tariffs and the financial and industrial development of the country. The Department of Agriculture has bureaucats at work investigating the breeding of animals, poultry and birds. About the only thing we now neglect is the building up of a race of healthy, sturdy human beings." EIGHT-HOUR LAW INVALID Pennsylvania Court Declares It Special Licensing. Philadelphia. On the ground that it was special legislation the Pennsylvania eight-hour law was declared unconstitutional by the State Supreme Court. The decision reversed the Allegheny county and State Superior Courts and frees from liability John J. Casey, a Pittsburg contractor, who built the Pittsburg filtration plant, and who was convicted of violating the terms of the law. The law was passed in 1897 and provided that workmen engaged in public works for the State or any municipality could work only eight hours a day. The Supreme Court holds that this is special legislation regulating labor and violates the State Constitution. SIX KILLED IN STORM Property .Damage of More Thad $3,000,000 in St. Louis. St. Louis.—A cyclone struck Jefferson county, Missouri, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Six persons are known to be dead and several are missing, and property damage is heavy. Two and one-half to three million dollars' damage was done in St. Louis, the city being swept by the storm. One woman who was in the famous St. Louis cyclone of 1896 dropped dead of fright. A teamster was electrocuted when an electric light wire fell across him. The total known dead in Jefferson county and St. Louis number eight. $2,435 FROM OLD LOUNGE Boston Teamster Makes Lucky Find In Street. Boston.—Colns and crumpled bills to the amount of $2,495 greeted the eyes of Peter J. Pitts, a teamster, when his horse backed a wagon over a discarded lounge, which had been thrown out into an East Boston street. Pitts was loading the refuse when a wheel of the wagon broke the lounge and disclosed the money. His shouts brought a crowd of workmen, to whom he gave a share of the treasure, and a holiday was at once declared. Greely Coronation: Envey Washington, D. C. — Maj-Gen. Adolphus W. Greely (retfred) has been selected as representative of the United States Army on the American special embassy to the coronation of King George V. This appointment supersedes the original selection of Major-General Frederick Denk Grant, commanding the Department of the East, who, on reconsideration, declined the honor. To Name Woman Police Chief Hunnewell, Kan.—Mrs. Ella Wilson took her seat as Mayor and presided over the City Council for the first time Wednesday night. Mrs. Wilson said that she would appoint Mrs. Rosa Osborne, defeated candidate for police judge, to the office of chief of police. Mrs. Osborne, it is understood, has agreed to accept that office provided she is given an assistant. Knox to Quit Is Denied. Washington, D. C.—Secretary of State Knox is to remain in the Cabinet. The story that he is to quit is denied by the highest authority. The whole report is characterized as "a nightmare." The story had it that Secretary Knox was going to quit the Cabinet on account of being piqued at alleged interference in Central America and Mexican affairs by John Hays Hammond. NEGROES ON THE COAST OF SOUTH CAROLINA Their Religious Customs and Superstitions Interestingly Depicted by One of Our Race Who Has Been Among Them. (BY RICHARD CARROLL.) 'As the Jews do not change their old-time custom in their worship—adhering strictly to their fathers and Mosaic ceremonies—so negroes on the islands and on the coast of South Carolina hold to their old-time customs. Some of their practices and superstitions were brought over from Africa. Many of them believe in "Root doctors" or "Hoodoo doctors." On last Sunday I met one of these old "Hoodoo" doctors on the public road with his satchel filled with a liberal supply of roots and herbs. These "physicians" claim they can cure all diseases, give you good luck, tell one his future, tell who are your enemies, tell how long you will live; they keep off "witches;" they can punish your enemies or bless your friends for you; they can tell how many deaths you are going to have in your family; they can give you a certain root or rabbit foot, to carry in your pocket to give "good luck." Many of these people believe in "ghosts or spirits." Superstitious Practices. Hearing of the superstitious practices of some in the graveyards, I went to a cemetery to investigate. When persons are buried one can see many pieces of glass, bottles, chinaware and other earthen vessels on the top of the graves. On one I observed several spoons, out of which the sick person took medicine. Here were the glasses, the pitcher, cup, and on some of the graves I found medicine and I was informed that this was the medicine left in the bottle after the death of the person. On Sunday morning I went to considerable trouble to find some of the pastors on the island. I succeeded in finding some, of whom the most prominent were Revs. J. Brown and Washington. These preachers could not give me any reason for placing these articles on the graves, and they claimed that it was impossible to get any reason out of those who practice this superstition. Rellgloua Worship on the Ieland. There is as much dignity, decorum and quietness in a colored congregation in the cities of Charleston, Georgetown and Beaufort as one will find in the average white assembly. One would be surprised to see a congregation of colored people on the islands assembled for worship in their temples. They make no demonstrations while preaching is going on; they make no noise; they do not even shout in the churches, as negroes do in the upper part of the state. You will not bear a groan or a sigh, for they are not moved by "fiery eloquence" or stormy preaching. Before the service begins they are as quiet as Quakers. There is little or no whispering in the congregation. One old preacher said to me, "dat you cud preach till you bust, you wudent git a groan." Where They Do Shout. The colored people have on each plantation on St. Helena's island a "praise house." Here they meet for prayer and praise every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights. This custom has been kept up on the islands and plantations for nearly 200 years. If one desires to see shouting come with me to one of these "praise houses." There are about thirty of these places for "praise" on St. Helena's island. Learning that there was a "praise meeting" going on last Saturday night and wishing to see The wife of a Germantown (Philadelphia) man is said to have cultivated her genius for bargaining to an extraordinary degree. Not long ago she burst into the living room and made this startling announcement to her spouse: "Cousin Emma has appendicitis! I've arranged with Doctor Blank to perform the operation for only $500 Every one knows that the regular fee is——" / "Permit me to congratulate you, my dear," interrupted the husband, "upon your success in bringing a fashionable disease within the reach of Cousin Emma." The little girl from the city had been questioning the old farmer, touching on many things about the place. "And now," said she in conclusion, "I'd like to ask you just one thing more." "Fire away," said the farmer good-naturedly. "What I wanted to know," said the An Accomplishment. Information Wanted. how these people worship, Prof. J. E. Blanton and I left our bedroom after 12 o'clock and went off to the meeting. Many earnest prayers were made from 10 p. m. to 1 a.m., interspersed with old spiritual or plantation melodies that made me feel that I was at the very gates of Heaven. One of the leaders of the meeting noticed that the writer was in the audience, and he demanded that I "line in and do sumting" to show wedder I was for de debble or God." He requested of me a speech or a song or a prayer. After making three or four demands, I decided to give them a little talk. After my speech, and the benediction was announced, then "shouting" began and lasted till five o'clock Sunday morning. Sinner, You Better Get Ready. I shall here relate what happened. The benches were moved from the building or put in the loft. The old people sat on a line of benches, close to the wall or up in a corner; many of them lit their pipes and began to smoke. Some went to a nearby house to get something to eat. Lunch houses are kept open all night at these "praise houses" as a rule. One of the old women started a song entitled, "Sinner, You Better Get Ready." The young men, boys and women who had been standing on the outside during "praise meeting" came in, and, catching each other by the hand, began to march around in a ring. One fellow who could sing well got in the middle of the ring and led the singing. I was informed that half of them in the ring were "sinners" and not members of any church. To me this shouting resembled an old time "cake walk" or dance. The old men and women, being stiff in the knees and not active in the legs, did not participate in the shouting, because they could not move around fast enough; but they cheered those that were in the ring. Occasionally, one would get high spirited and lift his voice above the usual noise and could be heard saying, "Trow dat foot, gal, don't let dat boy outshout you; * * mind, boy, dat gal is kuming at you." Many of them were patting their hands and stamping their feet, while the shouting was going on. Many of them shouted till they were exhausted, while others were washed down in perspiration. Stripping for Action. After the first go-round the shouters "stripped for action." The men pulled off their coats and piled them up in the corner of the house. The women took off their cloaks and burdensome clothing. One old fellow cried out, "Now, Brudder Carral, you will see some shouting." As late as 3 a.m. people were coming to the "praise house," while a few of the originals left during the night. It is strange that the pastors do not attend these prayer meetings. The majority of the preachers do not approve of this mode of worship. One can preach "till he hews" against this practice, but it will go on just the same. There is no people in the state that I delight more in being among as these members of my race on the coast. They are exceedingly polite they respect persons who are in authority and they are far superior to the country negro when it comes to the divino worship in the church. In churches they act like "white folks," but in "praise houses" they are "cake walkers." untiring little questionnet, "is when you have finished milking the cow, how do you turn it off!" GOOD WORKING MOTTOES. Aviator's—Onward and upward. Real Estate Man's—Deeds, not words. Mrs. Philip Snowden, the. English suffragette, began at a dinner. In New York her reply to a toast on "Marriage" with the words: "I once asked a little girl if she knew what leisure was. She Knew. The Farm Test Your Seed Corn. A farmer who would go blindly into a business venture without first investigating thoroughly the prospects for profit and possibility of failure would immediately be stamped as a poor business man. Yet every year many thousands of farmers plan their corn acreage without first having tested the seed. Even though the bulk of last year's crop, when harvested, had every appearance of mature soundness, in many tests already conducted the ears which farmers had saved for seed were found to be a weak variety. The safest method of farming is surest and most profitable, and the farmer who will first conduct an examination of the seed which he intends planting for next season's crop will not be gambling on the prospect, but will have assurance that, weather conditions permitting, he will secure a big yield, provided his seed is good. A patent germinator is not necessary; build one at home. Test half a dozen kernels from different parts of each ear of the seed corn. Where an ear is found which does not show a strong, prompt sprout, discard it. Soil fertility is robbed by the poor seed corn.—Farmers and Drovers' Journal. Sweet Clover. There is considerable discussion about the value of sweet clover. Generally it is considered a troublesome weed, and yet its list of friends is growing rapidly. Where alfalfa or clover will grow it is worthless in comparison, but on washed-out land, on clay banks or sand hills where nothing else will grow, sweet clover will not only thrive but will convert the waste land into a rich tract for other crops. The bacteria which gather upon its roots are the only known kinds which will inoculate the land for alfalfa, except that which grows upon alfalfa itself. If you have any alkali spots, thin soil, clay points, sandy places or overflowed land where the soil is washed away, sow sweet clover and let it grow. It is a money-maker.—Exchange. Care of Cow Previous to Calving. For ten days preceding the time for calving, the cow should be kept in a comfortable, well-littered box stall or pen, in which there is no manger. The feed should be given in a box or basket, which should be removed after the feed is taken. The coarse feed may be put in the corner, and no more should be given than she will eat. This rule should, however, be observed not only before calving, but at all times. Throwing large quantities of roughage before a cow leads her into the bad habit of eating only the most appetizing parts, and so wasting much feed. It is a good practice to take a lantern and go the rounds of the barn before retiring for the night, to see that everything is as it should be—Exchange. Save Old Vegetables. Most gardeners find at the end of the season that they have on hand a varying quantity of small late vegetable roots which are unsalable and which are generally thrown away as worthless. This is a mistake. If there is no other method of profitably disposing of onions, beets, carrots, turpels, etc., they should be kept over until early spring and planted again. Such vegetables will grow very quickly—in fact, about twice as rapidly as the regular seeds—and a ready sale can be found for them. Vegetables produced in April this way, though, are always inferior in quality to the crops which are raised in the hotbeds or from seed, but at this time of the year the consumer is not particular in that regard.—Journal of Agriculture. Melong Easily Grown. Make selections of what are known to be the best qualities of melons and buy the seed early for next spring and summer planting. Watermelons and muskmelons are as easy to raise as cucumbers. On good land that is not too sandy and in a warm location melons will thrive. Don't waste time on the insplid kinds. There are many varieties of good sweet melons to be had. Melons are so easily and cheaply raised that every farmer should have a good-sized patch. Cantaloupes are also delicious and can be grown with little effort. They may be planted between rows of early peas, and after the peas have been gathered the melons will cover the ground. A Tip to the Feeder. If any man goes into the feeding business to make money it is absolutely necessary to have scales at hand so that he may know how much gain or loss is taking place from day to day. It does not take long to pay for the scales in correcting errors that would occur without them, and yet we never see a set of scales on more than one ranch in a hundred in this country, and yet they cost so little that a single steer would pay for one. —Denver Field and Farm. Feeding Cows When Dry. During the eight or ten weeks that cows go dry, their feed should be chlefly roughage. A daily allowance of two pounds of bran or oats, or a mixture of two parts each of bran and oats and one part of linseed meal or corn-oil meal, makes a proper feed for a cow near calving. Some roots, cabbage, pumpkins or squashes are also very good. Highly carbonaceous roughage, such as straw and corn stalks, is not good at this particular time. Such feeds, with cold water, cold drafts or lying out at night on damp or frozen ground, are the chief causes of caked udder or garget.—Rural World. Cider to Vinegar. A short time ago I announced that we were having trouble in getting our elder changed into vinegar. A subscriber writes that 15 pounds of sugar should be added to every barrel of elder. He says that he has made 12 barrels and that he has had good results in following that plan.—Epitomist. Test the Cows. Keep a record and test your cows. In this manner you will find out the profitable cows in the herd. Since you cannot afford to keep an unprofitable cow the sooner you learn the unprofitable ones the better for you.—Farmers' Home Journal. A Good Dalry Cow. When you see a calf that is everything that could be asked for in the way of gentleness, there is every prospect that she will make a good dairy cow. A wild calf can hardly ever be made fit for the dairy.—Farmers' Home Journal. General Farm Notes Eggs should be culled the same as other things. Perfect cleanliness will cut short the louse crop of chickens. How many raisers.test the eggs they guarantee to be fresh? When a hen is not kept well she can't be expected to do well. The earlier you set your hens the sooner the pullets will begin to lay. It is said to be best to start raising poultry in the fall rather than in spring. With proper raising, April hatched chicks will be the money-makers next fall and winter. When the chicks can get away from it at will, plenty of heat under the hover is a good thing. Don't crowd the chicks. Small flocks do best and give each individual chick a better chance. Just one setting of thoroughbred eggs may be the means of working a revolution in your poultry business. Try shaving some young sweet corn, or even field corn, for the young chicks and see how they will go for it. Make the best of what room you have, but above all things don't try to keep too many fowls on a small place. Don't neglect the herd boar during the summer. He should have a small pasture and be well fed though not fattened. Hogs will make the most of skim milk and every dairyman appreciates their aid in the profitable use of this by-product. You don't have to wait for the incubator to get broody and then if you don't want to set it you don't have to break it up. Every boy living in the fruit and truck district would do well to make himself thoroughly acquainted with budding and grafting. Rape pasture for sheep is most excellent. One of our sheep growers tells us that he has tried it for ten years and finds rape very fine for his sheep. One way to plump a dressed fowl is to dip it for ten seconds in water nearly or hot boiling, and then immediately in cold water. Hang in a cool place until the animal heat is all out. Have crates and baskets for shipping strawberries, raspberries and blackberries on hand, and arrangements with your commission merchants for handling these as soon as ready. Farmers often lack the proper amount of rotten manure for melons and cucumbers. By stacking several loads a year in advance of planting there should be no trouble from this source. Tomato, pepper and egg plants should be hardened off as soon as they are large enough, in the meantime being kept growing steadily, but not drawn into spindling plants. A stout stocky plant is what is needed. Most farmers work too much and study and read too little. Learn the easiest, best and most economical way of doing the farm work. Hard work won't make you rich and successful unless it is backed up by good, intelligent management. Always be on the lookout to learn the best way of doing things. Be a good reader and observer. SEEN FROM ALL SIDES American, Jew, Japanese and a Negro Express Opinions on Immigration. In a recent issue the Outlook had a symposium on Immigration in which the writers differ from recent utterances of the editor of that well-known magazine. An American of the west, a Jew, a Japanese and a negro (Prof. Kelly Miller), are the contributors. The American wants an open door to all who desire to come to these shores and thinks we have no right to keep out the foreigner. He continues: "You say that we should 'select the immigrants we want.' What moral right have we to raise a moral test as to who shall come here and who not? We send men abroad in the attempt to have one missionary convert 25,000 heathen. Is our Christian religion so delicate that it cannot stand the introduction of one heathen among 50 Christians in this country? Shall we say that we are righteous and that others must not come to a land which God has prepared for his children because they are not as good as we are? Who gave us a title deed to every foot of land in this hemisphere, with charge to keep everybody else out whom, forsooth, we dislike?" Professor Miller takes exception to the Outlock's contention that the races cannot be held together under one government. He answers: "If peoples of different blood cannot be held together by a common political government, then England, France, Germany and the United States, in their colonial policy, are merely fighting against nature, after a manner of the ancient giants. If your doctrine be sound, then Hawaii is not large enough for native and American occupants; various South American states are not large enough for the Indians, Latin and Spanish components of their population; and the United States is too small for the European and the African. What is to be the outcome of the race problem if this doctrine is to prevail? "Have American institutions lost the great assimilative power at one time attributed to them? Do you mean to infer that Christianity has lost is proclaimed power to allay the frictional strife among men, and thus usher in the reign of peace and good will on earth? Is this a concession that Christianity is inferior to Mohammedanism in enforcing the concrete brotherhood of man? Mr. B. L. Putnam Weale, in his recent book, 'The Conflict of Christianity,' declares that Christianity has no influence or effect upon the race question. "I am sure it will not be considered unmannerly to call attention to the inconsistency of your position. It is universally understood that the Outlook is a firm and enthusiastic supporter of Dr. Booker T. Washington, whose policy is based upon the harmonious adjustment of the races in the United States, each maintaining its separate and distinct racial identity. How can this be hoped for, if no nation is large/enough for two races?" Speaking for the Orientals, Mr. Seuchi Takeuchi makes out a strong case in these pointed words. "Where were Christ, Buddha, Socrates, Mohammed, Confucius born? They were all Orientals, and the so-called Occidentals are worshiping and obeying their theories and doctrines. They never promulgated the principle of human prejudice and racial exclusion. If Kipling's principle is true, the principle of these men would vanish away from the earth. (2) "Against the twentieth century is the epoch of the intermingling of races. The United States has a great opportunity to mix races up and amalgamate them in one melting-pot. The American Indian excluded the European previously, and, without knowing them, older people always hate newcomers. If Americans of today show the same tendency, the leading journals should teach them not to do this. If this is a creed of the so-called civilized nation, the civilization of this nation is one century behind and is worse than that of the old Indian. In this connection some foolish individuals of America are hungry for war, led by the yellow journals. The idea will cause unrest. Where is the leader of the nation?" Certainly the Jews would be expected to oppose the Outlook pronouncement for restricted emigration since of all peoples they are the ones most without a country. Scattered everywhere and among all nations they find the United States an inviting and profitable field. Writing from Birmingham, Ala., a Jew thus expresses the opinion of his people. "Recall your speech, Dr. Abbott, 'The Religion of Service,' delivered at the Ethical Culture hall second dedication, in October last, in which you quoted your 'Leader and Master' as follows: "The Spirit of the Lord' is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." "I want to know whether these words of your 'Leader and Master' are reconcilable with your views on the commission's report? Are you preaching 'deliverance to the captives?' What are you doing 'to set at liberty them that are bruised?' Advocating the closed door? "In closing the Dodge lectures at Yale you declared that the object of life should not be "acquisition and self-aggrandizement, but mutual 'service and social welfare.' What is the latitude of this 'mutual service and social welfare'?" SPEECH OF SANDY BOTTOM As Reported by "Old Hickory" in the Dallas (Tex.) Express. The colored farmers living in Red Oak community decided recently to go into the farming business in an up-to-date scientific manner. Most of the promoters of the movement were young men who in their previous efforts had just about succeeded in making one stalk of corn grow where two grew before. They worked up a meeting, to which they had previously invited a young white farmer to explain to them the ins and out of corn and cotton raising. He had studied agriculture and was on the job. The meeting was largely attended and the address was a masterpiece in its way. After the speaker had finished the chairman called for brief expressions from anyone who felt like talking. Among others present was old man Sandy Bottom, who had farmed for the white folks "befe' de wah," and had hustled for himself ever since emancipation. When asked if he wished to say anything, he replied: "Yes, I'm so full I'm 'bout to bust." Thinking that the old gentleman was going to praise the speaker of the evening, the chairman invited him to come forward. Among the promoters of the meeting were several sons of Mr. Bottom, and, strange to relate, they were not at all anxious to have the old gentleman make a speech! However, Mr. Bottom finally got up to the front and unlimbered as follows: "Tse certainly glad to see you young gentlemen aroused up to subject er farmin'. I'e glad that something has woke you up. I use ter think that example was worth more than precept; that practice was better than theory, and that 'gitting thar' was more than talking about. But I see I was dead wrong. How come I to say so? Here I've been for forty years er setting you all the example of farmin. of makin' good on the farm. Starting out wild out nothing, I have bought and paid for 400 acres of land, surrounded myself with stock, gins, mills, and have always lived in a good house, and it was my house, too; sent my children to school, and when they grew up I gave 'em a farm, and then whirled in and bought and paid for more. I have made cotton in spite of the boll weevil, raised corn in spite of the drought; no man has to ride through my field to tell me what to do. I give no mortgages, and I live at home and board at the same place. I done all this right here before your eyes. All dat didn't have no effect on you folks. And now, after half starving at farming for several years you've just now woke up and decided to go into scientific farmin'. And how? By sending off and gotten some white man who ain't never made a dollar on the farm to come here and make you a speech"—(Great confusion in the audience—shuffling of feet, clearing up of throats to keep the white man from hearing, The sons of old Bottom tried to hide under benches; the chairman pulled the old man's coat-tail in the futile effort to ring him off.) "I know what you fellows hope for. You think by dis here highfalutin' scientific farming you're going to find a substitute for work; but bless God you ain't er gwine to do it! You think you can have your smokebouse in Kansas City, your corn crib in Missouri, and you live down here. You have been playing at farmin' for 20 years, and have never made enough one year to carry you through the next! 'Cause why? In the summer you lose your fodder and peas by being away attending protracted meetings and such things; and in the fall if you come out a hundred or two dollars ahead you let the merchant outtalk you into buying bigger mules, finer horses, stronger wagons, etc., and then, why 'bout January you've got to spend a month in talking the merchant into letting you have supplies, and at 300 per cent, profit! De merchant ketches you erway from de bass and he proceeds to put you out. He knocks you down and hog-ties you! "Today I counted 50 niggers driving to town in $150 bugles drawn by $200 horses, covered wid $60 harness. And what else did I see? I saw a white man driving to town in a second-hand wagon thrown erway by some fool nigger, and, bless God, dat wagon was loaded down wid sheep and hogs for sale! Blime-by, those 50 niggers is going to wake up and go into fancy farming jest like you fellows think you're going to do; and instead of taking examples from men right in their own neighborhood they're gwine to send off and get some white man to speak who ain't never pulled the bell-cord over old Beck, except by proxy!" (Great confusion in the audience. Finally some one whispered to the choir and they broke into the glorious song, "We'll Understand It Better By and By." and thus shut the old man off. But as he was leaving the floor his powerful voice rose above the choir long enough to ejaculate:) "You niggers, instead of sending off for some white man to show you how to farm, you ought to send off for a carload of common horse sense and a ton of old-fashioned brains." Parental Tactics. "Pa, what is a trancendentalist?" "Have you chained up the dog, as I told you?" "Not yet, pa." "Well, do that, and when you come back I will tell you what a trancendentalist is." While Bobby was gone his astute parent dug the needed information out of the dictionary. Buttermilk is the best possible thing to clean linoleum and oilcloth. A brush dipped in salt water should be used in cleaning bamboo furniture. A coffee grinder may be used as a food chopper if the housewife does not happen to have the latter. White paint should be cleaned with warm water, using a trifle whiting on the cloth, then rinsing with clear water. A solution of one teaspoonful of peroxide into a teacup of water makes a sanitary wash to use in the mouth every morning and evening. When sweeping Turkish, Axminster or any thick-piled carpet always brush the way of the pile and it will look fresh and bright for years. Add a well-beaten white of an egg to mashed potatoes, whipping the potato hard before dishing it. This makes it look well and taste better. Never put turpentine or paint or varnish, as it will dissolve it as soon as it touches it. Its volatile nature makes it cut grease in the same way. You can remove grease spots from wall paper with blotting paper and a hot flatiron. Put the blotting paper over the stain and press it with the hot iron. If you are distressed to find that some careless person has scratched the new white paint with a match try rubbing the darkened surface with part of a cut lemon. Those who wear violets and desire them to last as long as possible should keep them in glasses of water slightly tinctured with salt and the glasses inclosed in air tight pails or jars. To set delicate colors in an embroidered handkerchief soak ten minutes previous to washing in a pail of tepid water in which a dessertspoonful of turpentine has been stirred. To clean jewelry wash it in hot soapsuds made with yellow soap, to which a few drops of sal volatile have been added. Do not rub the soap on the stones. Rinse off the suds with clean hot water. To prevent possible accidents from the chafing dish, wring a towel from water and lay just inside the rim of the tray and outside the feet of the dish. With this any sudden flaming up can be readily extinguished. To keep a skirt placket from tearing out at the bottom sew on a hook and eye at the extreme end of the placket, fasten, and then crush flat. This is a simple but very useful thing to know as it saves many a stitch. If in need of anything to keep bits from clogging the sink, take a small butter or lard pall and pierce holes with a long, nall and hang over corner of sink. It takes the place of strainer and also gives you more room. Damp rooms and cupboards are often caused by the house not being provided with air bricks. A little unslacked lime kept in a room will keep it fairly dry. The lime loses its efficacy after a time and then must be renewed. If members of the family come home with wet feet, have them remove their shoes and stockings, spreading a turkish bath towel on the floor, and quietly rub the feet on it until they tingle and burn. A cold will be averted. A nice way to keep pillow ticks clean and avoid the disagreeable task of changing the feathers to new ticks is to cover the pillow with old muslin, either old sheets or pillow cases made to fit snugly. Your pillow will be snowy white, as this also keeps the stripes of ticks from showing through the cases. Girls and Housework. Housework is not by any means a matter of poverty, or even comparative lack of means. Many mothers feel that their daughters must be trained in the neatness, care and precision demanded in a well-kept house, so, though they can afford to have such work done, they require a girl to look after her own room, or she is given fixed household duties. The sensible girl will accept the inevitable and make these duties a pleasure instead of a burden. "It can't be done!" says the girl who hates housework. "Yes it can. Try for a month and find out for yourself." Plain White Cake. Beat to a cream two-thirds cup of butter and two cupfuls of sugar. Add one cupful milk and three and one-half cupfuls of flour, sifted three times with four even teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Lastly, fold in the whites of six eggs beaten stiff, flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla or three-fourths teaspoonful of essence of almond, bake in a large pan and cover with a white ice. Odds and Ends In Lent some people fast; others stay so. The average bride's uplook is about six feet. When a girl spoils a man, she can expect rotten treatment. You can tell a married man by the cautious glance he gives before indulging in a good stare. If a man can hide his heart, life is one little farce after another, with women as secondary puppets. Beware of the dark-eyed fellows; they're awfully fickle. The blue-eyed ones are terribly inconstant. When a man looks down at his boots, it isn't shyness. He may be wondering what excuse to give for getting away. Some married men find out that women are less mysterious than they seem, while some married women realize that men are more complex than they thought.

Logical Theology. A negro known as "One-Eyed" Walking, was, and probably is now, a prescriber in Virginia. His ideas of theology and human nature were often very original, as the following anecdote may prove. A gentleman thus accosted the old preacher one Sunday: "Walling, I understand you believe every woman has seven devils. Now can you prove that, I'd like to know?" "Oh, yes, I've heard of that, but what does that prove?" "Did you eber hear of 'em bein' cast out of any older woman, sah?" "No, I never did." "Well, den, sah; de odders has sure got 'em yit!" Good Enough. Wife—I suppose if you should meet some pretty young girl you would cease to care for me. Husband—What nonsense you talk! What do I care for youth or beauty? You suit me all right.

Sarorpay, Arn 22, 1911 Congressman Hardwick of this State is endeavoring to keep in the limelight and at the same tickle those of his constituents who are unfavorable to the Negro enfran- chisement, by introducing a Dill for the repealing of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. We are sure that the Congressman or none of his way of thinking will live long enough to see this act repealed. At would be far better for Mr. Hardwick to use his energies in another direction. “The movementto establish in Atlanta what is known as a, Parents-Teachers association merits wide and hearty sup- PorTE has been truly ‘observed that in amany instances the school life and the home life of a child, far from being an harmonious unit, are divided into two neutral, if not hestile, eamps. The pa: rent thus misunderstands the teacher and the teacher, the parent, with the result hat the ehild is, not completely understood by either of them. Indeed, achild’s character has its phases like the moon. Qualities that shine in the home are sometimes hidden in the school room. Needs or defects that a teacher clearly perceives are often un- guessed by the mother. It is only through the combined insight and ex- perience and sympathy of mother and teacher that the child’s mind and char- acter can receiye the most fruitful meas- ure of training. 7 “The fact is too many children look upon school as something entirely apart from the remainder of their life. It'is a thing to be endured, not apprec- ated. Tthas little ov no room in their sympathies. And this unfortunate at- titude comes from the fact that there is no vital or human bond between the authority of the home and the authority of the school.”—Journal. ' Savannak may wisely fall in line and join this movement for it is one which will be welcomed in every city of the country. It is * altogether essential that this or a. similar movement be started here by which teachers and parents may be brought into closer contact. It is too often the case where teachers and parents are apparently at va- riance with one another whereas a matter of fact they are both striv- ing for the same common end but ignorance of each other's methods has cause a seeming difference. We should like to see this move- ment put into operation in Savan- nah for by it parents and teachers can be’made to know one another better and have a more thorough understanding of those things which pertain to the best interests of the children, ‘he school and the home so far asthe intellectual training of a child is concerned should be inseparably combined and there is no better way of ac- complishing this than to effect and maintain an organization such as a. “Parents-Teachers association.” During the week there have ap- peared in our city special repre- sentatives of the town of Roose- velt, Oklahoma, who have been making rather flattering offers to our people to migrate to that place. As té their success in persuading any appreciable number of our people to go out West we cannot say but the wisdom of leaving Georgia, and especially Savannah, the finest and best city in the state for.our people, to go out to Okla- homa we cannot see. From all ac- counts there exists as much race prejudice in this state as in Geor- gia and for that matter anywhere in this country the Negro zoes he willfind that he is discriminated against. To go out to Oklahoma would mean practically starting life anew for conditions out there are different and those who might migrate there from this section of the country will have to become adapted to the new order of things. Then there is the probability of not liking this section of the coun- try in which case there would be a great outlay of money simply to appease a longing to see something new. Wedo not wish to go on record as saying that conditions here in Georgia, are exactly as we would have them, far from that; but we should not like to seea very ‘large number of Negroes depart for Oklahoma from this city for we believe that right here in Sayan- nah we have as bright a future as can be found in any part of the country. The opportunity is here and.all that is needed is that we grasp it. All things taken into consideration we are afforded a wonderfully fine chance for ustoshow whatisin us and be- fore we decide to migrate to parts unknown to us suppose we stick- Ap Effective Pastor and Leader.

J.H. May, decided in favor ofa man who was then located in Germantown, Pa., and who had had wide ex- perience as a minister, a teacher and as 4 medical doctor. ‘This man was ev. D. Augustine Reid who was born in Kingston, Jamaico, British, West Indies, completed his college education at Calabar’ College under British professors, came tothe States in 1891_and shortly afterwards, completed his ological education at Richmond Theslogical Seminary. In this choice the Second Church has made no mistake for Rev. Reid has proven himself the equal of all that was said of him and has even surpassed the expecta- tions of his most ardent supporters. It must be agreed by all who were ac- quainted with conditions at the Fort Church just previous to the coming of fev. Reid, that things in jreneral were in a most demoralizing condition and that but little hope remained for the church to pull out of its state of lethar- gy unless the leadership was assumed by a wide awake, strong and ener- geticman. So trusting that the right man for the place'iad. been secured the falthul ones of those who remained through thick and thin pinned al their hopes in the ability of Rev. Rev. Reid to bring the church up again to her rightful postion amongst the religious institutions ofthe ety and mugh to their satisfaction they have found that a better man could not have been called and that their decision in electing their present pastor to lead them was well grounded, Rev. Reid since coming here has succeeded in bring- ing almost all of the old members back to the church and with but a few more months’ work will have the church in that prosperous condition it used to,enjoy when she; was at the zenith of her power. There have been many additions made to the membership of the church and in general the church has taken on new life. ‘That all persons connected with the church have been made to work in accord has recently been very effectively demonstrated by the very successful rally which was pulled off and by which eighteen hundred odd dolars were raised in.a litle less than six weeks. ‘This is a wonderful example of the effective work which Rev. Reid has done, for while it would not have been such and extraordinary accomplishment for this church when she was at her highest point of devel- ment, yet coming so soon after her ranks had heen diminished and her strength lessened by the ineffective work of the former pastor all praise and honor must be given Rey. Reid for being able to muster the whole strength of the church together in so short a time and for pulling off such a successful rally. It is with much gratification that the colored citizens in general have noted the ability of Rev. Reid to marshal the wholestrength of his church together for when that great congregation is working smoath- ly for the uplift of humanity in Savannah a great deal more of good can be added to the large army of religious bodies that are lending light to the blind and are endeavoring to scatter sunshine throughout our city. We congratulate Rev. Reid upon the marked suceess he has thus far made and extend him our wishes that his god work in the Second Chureh will con- tinne to tnereace. right here for a while and show our metal. To yo out west is to throw but a couple or more years away finding our bearings. ‘Time is precious these days and we can not afford to experiment too wide- ly. Let us therefore bend our every effort to bettering our owt condition right here and let the far West take care of itself. Palitioal Ghartsamitan. _ Hawsinsville, Ga., April 4, 1911, Mr. Editor: {am carefully reading your abl editorials each week, and 1 want tc say that the: editorials‘ jn your Jas issue were the ablest {ever read.

Thomas a colored man, was elected delegate to the last National Republican Convention and instructed to vote first last and all-the time for the election of the Hon. Judson W. Lyons for the ‘National Committeeman from the State ofGeorgia. He did not obey his in- structions. He did not keep his pledge to the Republicans gf the ard, district. But for reasons personal to himself and known only to himself he voted for the rich man Mr. Blun whom he is now agusing. The Republicans of the state Want “nothing from men like | Mr. Thomas but ‘silence and a very little of that,” as the witty son of Erin said. The party never conferred an honor- ary commission on one who so worthily won it as did National Committeeman Lyons. He stood for the party and treatment of all of itsmembers in. sea : son and out, in sunshine and in storm. He was alert, aetive and an untiring worker forthe party men. ‘The colore Republicans of the state had never _be- fore enjoyed such recognition as they did under him as, their representative.

The Eureka Aid and Athletic Club gave another one of their classy entertainments at their beautiful club rooms 317 Gwinnett street west, on last Monday and Tuesday nights. The entertainment was unique and original. The name "Yum Yum" made an instantaneous hit with the public add although no admission fee was charged the club realized a neat little sum. The room were very prettily decorated with flags, club pennants, buntings, bamboo vines, palms and ferns. The yard was transformed into a garden. Electric lights and Japanese lanterns were in evidence everywhere giving it a real oriental effect. The committee dressed in white coats and aprons presented a real natty appearance and darting here and there through the crowds of gaily dressed visitors made a beautiful moving picture that was not only very "yum yum" but pleasing to the eyes. On Tuesday night the members of the "Pekin stock Company" gave a short but very classy program that was very much enjoyed. The Eureka Club is to be congratulated for the excellent manner in which they always entertain their guests. Mr. Jos. Brown the originator of the "yum yum fete" deserves much credit for the idea. He was ably assisted by the following committee, Messrs. Frank Davis, Benj. F. Porter, W. H. Haines, J. E. Rogers, E. W. Bell, John A. Gadsen, P. B. Biggins, Augustus H. Crumbly, P. L.

Maceo Waters. It is the latest work along this line written by Mr. Waters and will doubtless find a ready sale as the author is well known in the local musical field. Along with this piece of music is given a sketch of the life of Mr. Waters which is very interesting. We wish Mr. Waters much success in his endeavors along this line and trust that this and all subsequent efforts of his in this direction will meet with success. Victoria Theatre Grand Success The Victoria Theatre West Broad St., opposite Maple street, has been making a great hit in Savannah and has proven one of the greatest and most attractive pleasure resorts for colored people in the city. It has up-to-date far surpassed all expectations and can be safely said to be cleanest and most interesting moving picture show which the colored people of this city have ever witnessed. Since its opening new features have been continually added to make the show more attractive. The illustrated songs which are sung by a young lady of exceptional ability and whose voice is very melodious are proving quite a drawing card. Every night the performance are attended by hundreds of lovers of good music and clean pictures and often standing room can be secured. The management is sparing no pains to keep the show up-to-date and attractive and there will be new attractions added to the regular show every night. The Victoria orchestra of six pieces is one of the best in the city and it is worth the price of admission to hear them alone. Not only are they well acquainted with the latest popular music of the day but can render the standard heavy music in a most pleasing manner. AMUSEMENT COLUMN. Coming Events in the Social World.

These are but the fig- ments of their morbid and uncultt- vated imaginations, There 1s a con- stant coniilct between these two class- es—they are forever clashing. The pne chases butterfiles and belleres that the millennium Js not far off; they dwell forever in tho land of Uto- pla, Not in 2,000 years will thelr dreams be realized; they are simply air castle bullders; ‘they contribute a very little to the sum total to the vace’s credit, But the pessimistic class {seven more obnoxious than these; for they see nothing but bad continually. ‘They are old croakers and forever whining and complaining: over some imaginary wrong done them; they are miserable themselves and make others so. If you ask them what do they think of the race's future, they tell you unhesi- tatingly, by the shake of the head, that the race is going backward; that its enemies are increasing, and that the prediction and ruin of the whole raco are not far off, that it is only a question of time when the entire negro people will bo no more; that he will be a has-been rather than an is, And so the confilet goes on be- tween these two classes. Nelther one, of these classes is of much benefit and credit to the race, for they con- tribute such a little of the sum total of our material and moral well being Ubat they practically amount to noth- Ing, so far as the race's progress and uplift fs concerned. Every race has them, but it seems that they are in a greater proportion among our people. Now, there is a third class who take the middle ground. They reason trom fexperience and history; they realize that all progress is governed by the law of evolution; that it taker time and patience for these great forces to reach a culmination. They fead the history of other peoples of the world, and learn that their pres- ent development and clvilization have been gradual, that it has taken cen- turfes for them to reach their present Hegtee of perfettion, And they rea gon that we can be no exception to the rule. They reason that everything fn the animal, vegetable and mineral Xingdom {s subject to this Inevitable taw of evolution; that God so ordato- ed St and from it there Is no escape This class constitutes our hope for the foture, for they see things in thelr right relation; they know that socl- ety is not what it ought to be, oven among the people who have attained to the highest plane tm civilized life; that there are numbers of evils in the community Ife, both fa England and America, whose people are re- garded as the highest type of civilized mankind. How can, then, 2 people who have just emerged from slavery expect to reach thelr full development in 80 years? It {s unreasonable; it 1s shsurd. And any class of people who take gloomy and unreasonable views of things 1s not {n the position to do much to better the conditions of the race. ‘The truth’ of the matter fs that no} people, under similar circumstances, could have made greater progress than ours since they have been eman- tipated, Therefore, people, both white and black, who seem to shut their eyes to the advancement that the negro people have made in education, morals and jn wealth within the 50 years that they have,been emancl- pated, We submit that he has not made the progress that {t was possible for bim to make.

The account of the repairing of the temple found in 2 Chr. 24:4-14 contains some instruc- tive facts not recorded here. We shall refer to both accounts. The relgn of Joash opened well. He instl- tuted great reforms In Judah. This was due very largely to the influence of Jebotada (¥, 2). The major part of bis reign 19 to be greatly commend- ed. In the lesson before us he appears more zeslous than Jeholada himselt for the work of the Lord (v. 7). But bis zeal and devotion had no great depth. So when Jeholada was gone, and he came under other influences, he went back utterly to the evil ways of his predecessors, and Mis reign end- ed in disaster, dishonor, iniquity and ruin (2 Ch, 24:15-26). But our lesson today is concerned with the brightest page in the history of Joash. He had been brought up in the temple (2 Ch, 22:12), and bad in early boyhood been, Impressed with the ruin that had over- taken that magnificent building dur- Ing the fifteen years of misrule that had intervened since the reign of Je- hoshaphat. Having attended to the rer forms that demanded immediate af- tention, he now gave himself to re- newing the house of Jehovah, to whose kindly protection he owed his owt life and present power. The best kings of Judah gave themselves to repairing the house of God (2 Ch. 29:3; 34:89), and Joash by his action in this mat- ‘ter won for himself a place alongside Hezekiah and Josiah. A modern meet- ing house Is not a “house of the Lord” In the full sense that the Jewish tem- ple was, yet it betokens an indiffer- ence to the Lord's glory to let it fall Into a wretched condition, and devo- tion to him to keep it in proper state. Our bodies are indeed the temple of God (1 Cor. 3:16; 6:19), aud should, for that reason, be kept in good re- pair. Joash invited the whole nation toa part in the work. The priests and Levites were to “gather of all Is- Tael money to repair the house” (2 Ch. 24:5). This was as it should be. This fs God's own plan (Ex, 25:28), ‘The fact that one has but little fs no Teason why he should be excluded from the privilege of doing what it Iles in his power to do for God's work, God does not look at the amount given, but at the love that Is in the gift (2 Cor, 8:12). The heart of Joash tor the time was greatly in this work he had undertaken. He urged the men who had the collection in hand to “see that ye hagten the matter.” But the heart of the Levites was not in ft. They “hastened it not” (2 Ch. 24:5), They seemingly cared more for their own bread and butter than for the glory of God. ‘Their race is not all extinct. As Jeholada was the head of the work, Joash properly laid the re sponsibility for laxness {n it primarily upon him. Those under him were doubtless remiss in their duties, but it was his business to keep them up to their duty. It will not do for the head of a department to try to throw the blame for the fallure of his depart- ment upon his underlings. It is his duty not merely to give orders to those wider him, but to see, also, that they execute those orders. He {s the one who will and ought to be held re- sponsible for faflure. But there is much excuse for Jeholada; he was getting extremely old (2 Ch. 24:15). Joash emphasized his protest against the laxnesa in the work by calling Jeholada’s attention to what the work was for, “the tabernacle of witness” (2 Ch, 24:6): ‘That tabernacle in its every part was a testimony to the truth of God, everything about it had a profound spiritual significance. Taken as a whole, it was a testimony to God's dwelling in the midst of the people, It was because of what the sons of Athallah had done that the house of God needed repairing (2 Ch. 24:7). Both princes and people brought abundant gifts with great joy (2 Ch. 24:10). Nothing makes people happier than hearty, voluntary giving for God’s work. The fact Is, we are robbing people of much joy by being afraid to ask great things of them in the way of giving. We try to get money for the Lord's work by subter- fogo and trickery; instead of giving them a chance to give out and out, we try to fool them into giving by sell- ing them poor ice cream and worse oyster atew, by turning the house of God into a vaudville show of poor quality, or by pampering their pride by auctioning off pews, or by turning religious conventions Into scenes of rivalry over elections to life member- ships.

REHABILITATION IS ASSURED Floating Debt Within the Republic Determined and Liquidated by Finance Commission. Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—A cablegram from Roland P. Falkner to the state department states that the outlook for Liberia is bright, and that the rehabilitation of the little republic is assured. The visit to Monrovia of Roland P. Falkner, financial representative of Liberia, during the recent session of the legislature brought this about. In 24 days he removed all the local obstacles to obtaining the much needed loan. There were three main barrlers—the late Lahun question with England, the new boundary delimitation treaty with France and the judicial system. Settlement of the first and second problems was necessary to get the consent and co-operation of England and France. Judicial reforms were needed to guarantee the security of capital invested in the country. There was strong opposition to yielding the Kanre Lahun district to England and to ratifying the new boundary with France. At a luncheon given by President Barclay, at which many senators and representatives were present, Mr. Falkner spoke some plain, unpleasant truths, especially about Liberia's lack of credit in the world's money markets. There was no further hesitation on the part of the legislature, as there was no alternative for Liberia should the proposed loan fall through. The delimitation treaty was signed and Kanre Lahun passed to Great Britain in consideration of $20,000 and a strip of territory southeast about as large as Kanre Lahun itself. The act reforming the judiciary was tabled because the session of the legislature was too near the close to give the measure due consideration. This act would provide a simple system of circuit courts, with districts, and the judges of the supreme bench to act in conjunction with these circuit judges The result of Mr. Falkner's visit to Monrovia was the appointment of an internal debt commission to ascertain the amount of the floating debt within the republic and to classify this with a view to its liquidation. GET THROUGH WITH IT Give the Negro Children Longer School Terms in the South The educating of negro children especially in the country is congested in a great measure. It is doing almost as much harm to the child as it is doing good. The little short term given to children in the country serves as a means of increasing idlers, loafers, bums and vagabonds. Children should be taught to go to school and stick to it until they have finished the course they are expected to complete in preparing themselves to take up various responsibilities. There should be a lined out policy in the mind of the parent or guardian as to what kind of work their children should do after finishing school and they should be educated only for these various positions in life. The child should be placed in school at six years of age and made to get through with it and go to work. This going to school two and three months and running over the community nine months is a menace to the country and is but the seed that breeds lilars, quintroats, murderers, idlers, loafers and vagabonds. If the children were put in school at six years and kept there at least nine months each year there would be some hope in the educating and training of them within five or six years when at the present system it takes 20 years to put some education in their heads. This lack of education in the country has forced many farmers into the cities where their children could get the benefit of eight or ten months schooling, leaving the farm to grow up in weeds and briars, depriving the city of the increase products from the farm and thereby forcing higher prices of living in the city. We say to the people in the country and every community where there is a country school running only three months, organize by private subscription and raise sufficient funds to run the school for nine or ten months getting through with your children's education and putting them to work.—Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. Ten Commandments Condensed. Apropos of the recent agitation touching the movement in England to shorten the ten commandments, a writer in the New York Evening Sun revives the old rhyme, known to many older people, and which years ago was popularly known: Thou shalt have none other gods but me, Before no idol bend the knee, Take not the name of God in vain, Nor dare the Sabbath day profane, Give both thy parents honor due, Take heed that thou no murder do, Abstain from words and deeds unclean, Nor steal, though thou art poor and mean, Tell not a wilful lie, nor love it. And what is thy neighbors do not covet. WIT AND HUMOR With a quarter in her silver mesh purse, she can shop all day, buy nothing, and come home and tell you all about it. She'll narrate it all without a trace of regret at not having purchased at least half she saw, and she'll appear as happy as a lark over the mere pricing. She'll give you in detall the gown of every woman she met, added to it choice bits of personal history—no, not gossip—and snatches of conversation attached. At the same time, she will have stopped at the grocer's, the butcher's, the caterer, and she has a fluent acquaintance with everything the market affords. Yet in our blindness, we gravely state that genius is masculine. THE STUDENT. I have learned that wise men always allow women to think they're easily managed. There's only a step between recklessness and danger. Some girls flirt simply because it is expected of them. Wonders never cease while a man's in love—after that, he ceases to wonder. Women are only interesting when they are personal, and yet some fool men find fault with that. There's a tragedy for every wrinkle in a woman's face, and a comedy for every coat of powder she smudges on to conceal it. UNFAIR WOMAN. Men tell the truth when in their cups; women, when in tears. A young woman believes nothing a flatterer says; an old one, everything. A woman's justice is like her most fashionable wrap; fastened sideways. The wise woman gives careless advice, knowing that it won't be followed, anyhow. A girl would rather share her chum's sorrowful confidence than her confectionery. Most women run after the fashions so swiftly that they're too much out of breath to converse with them when they meet. SAYS THE OLD MAID. When a woman recommends marriage to you, sometimes it's a sign of trouble. The woman, who can fancy herself always in love gets real enjoyment out of life. The disillusions a woman has to suffer is nothing to the illusions she keeps on nourishing. The girl of many seasons generally has many reasons for not taking any man for granted. It's awfully sweet to sew on baby clothes, if you can put aside thoughts of future trouser-patches or filmsy wedding gowns. Many are called and more are bluffed. Money never did do one thing we all want; bring back youth. Wit is pure when strained through the tissue of human kindness. Anybody that loses heart at the first heat isn't fit for a good race. Some people are accused of being thick-hided when they're merely doing their best to hide where the whip hurts. PROSPERITY. Prosperity is a leveler. The man who is after a great fortune may not amass it; but he who is in search of progress generally finds it. When a fellow wants to make a good showing, all he has to do is to invest in gold bricks, but solid success comes only with deep digging. CYNICAL SAL. An after dinner proposal may be as sweet as dessert, but it is just as soon gone. The flirtatious young man is never happy unless he's making many miserable. A man will tell you the most impossible things and yet you have to wear a plausible look. Argument With Which Englishman 'Killed Lloyd George's Plan to Tax "Ungotten Minerals." Capt. Sylvanus Smith, the noted Gloucester fisherman, was talking at the New Willard, in Washington, about reciprocity. "I have come down here," he said, "to oppose reciprocity in fish. I wish I had as good a weapon to oppose it with as that used by an Englishman against the Lloyd George budget. "The Lloyd George budget contained a tax on 'ungotten minerals'—on all such undug minerals as your land might contain—and the Englishman, Harold Cox, killed the tax with ridicule. "If we are going to tax land for its ungotten minerals,' he said, 'let us carry the scheme to its logical conclusion and tax bachelors for their ungotten children.'" OBSERVING^ LENT ON LINKS Young Clergyman Abjures 'Sand and Declines to Play His Ball' From Tee. "The observance of lent, I am happy to say, is world-wide. Lent even manifests itself on the golf field." The speaker was Mrs. R. H. Barlow, the Philadelphia champion. Smiling, she resumed: "At the Country club the other day I played in a foursome with a young clergyman. As this young clergyman prepared to tee off, his caddy, taking a pinch of sand in his hand, stooped and said: “‘High tee, sir?’ “No, thank you, my lad,’ said the young clergyman. ‘Flat on the ground. I abjure sand during lent.’” * ARTISTS' BLUNDERS. "I never saw an artist yet who could correctly paint a horseshoe," remarked a friend of mine, pausing before a Broadway picture store. "They invariably paint it with an equal number of nails on each side, sometimes three, sometimes four, and even five nails. As a matter of fact there are four on one side and three on the other, the extra nail being on the inside of the foot, where the greatest strain comes. Which reminds me of the lines of a distinguished American poet in which he sweetly depicts the drowsy cattle on a summer's day lazily lapping the cooling waters of the crystal stream. The same peculiarity is also poetically attributed to the horse and other animals, the model of the poet having probably been the house cat.—From an old scrap book. HIS MONEY OR HIS WIFE. Now and then John B. Stanchfield tells a new story. The other night he was a guest at the dinner of the sheriff's panel, always the most ornate dinner of the year. It costs $40,000, and, to dispose of this fund the dinner master provided solid silver souvenirs, in addition to the barrels of vintage champagne. Mr. Stanchfield told this yarn to illustrate a point: "A very wealthy man got a note from the Black Hand," said he. "It read as follows: 'If you do not send us $100,000 we will kill your wife.' "The millionaire replied at once to the address given: 'Nothing doing on the money; but I'd like to hear from you further. Your proposition interests me.'"—Cincinnati Times-Star. THRIFTY GIRL STUDENTS. The number of young women in Oberlin college who are wholly or partly self-supporting is given in a bulletin recently issued by the committee on beneficiary aid. Twenty-six support themselves entirely and 54 in part. Thirty-six others are using money earned before they entered college. Of these 40 teach school, 11 do office work, 14 do housework, 7 are nursemaids, 11 tutor in the college, 1 is a companion, 1 is a music teacher and 1 is a curio saleswoman. Others are engaged in the following occupations: Playground assistant, library assistant, postoffice assistant, artist, rug-weaving, clerk, market gardening and seamstress. HIS CONTRIBUTION. "A college has just made me a doctor of literature." "What did you ever write?" "Well, I wrote 'em a very large chee: " New York Florist Closed Shop and Gave Murdered St. Bernard a Real-Funeral. Seldom do we find a man who has the courage to do what Ibsen's Hedda-Gabler called "a really beautiful thing." This is quite a prosaic world, after all, and folk look askance at the man who will do a deed of sentiment in broad daylight. But such things do happen, just once in a while. The other day a New York florist closed all his shops and held a funeral for his loved St. Bernard dog, whom a fiend had poisoned. Regular services were held at the master's house, and the minister who read the service delivered a touching cology on dogs and on Leo in particular. The dog's body was borne to the grave by four children who had known Leo since he was a puppy. Around the grave the mourners sang a hymn. Was the minister ashamed to officiate at a dog's funeral? Not a bit. "It seems to me eminently proper and fitting," the minister said; "I knew Leo as a friend, and as a friend I mourn his tragic taking off. Of all earthly creatures none is so faithful as one's dog." A highly beautiful sentiment!—Denver Times. MUSEUM MUSES Wones Manager—Where's "The Bearded Lady?" Fat Boy—He was arrested yesterday for bigamy. HE HAD FORGOTTEN. The absent mindedness of a clergyman, temporarily in charge of a leading Belfast church, was responsible for a singular dilemma in which a bridal party was placed the other day. The ceremony was fixed for nine o'clock a.m., and punctually at that hour the bridal party arrived, the church, one of the most spacious in Ireland, being by this time filled with relatives and friends of the contracting parties. The sexton was in attendance, but no clergyman. After a lapse of an hour, anxiety gradually gave way to a feeling of alarm. The bride swooned twice. Eventually a hurried telephone call brought the truant clergyman, who, almost two hours late, was profuse in his apologies for his absent mindedness. FRIEND OF FIRE INSURANCE. "That remark was suspicious," said Senator Root, in a brilliant analysis of a recent scandal. "That remark opened up backgrounds of suspicion as vast and forbidding as those which were opened up by the remark of a rich clothier. "What are you buying a new safe for?" the clothier's wife asked. "Well,' was the reply, 'the old safe's been through so many fires that the safe manufacturers want it for an advertisement.'" DIET AND HEIGHT. Plutarch, in his life of Lycurgus, states that the tall figures of the Spartans were due to their spare diet. "For," says he to himself and all the rest of us, says he, "when the animal spirits are not too much oppressed by a great quantity of food, which stretches itself out in breadth and thickness, they mount up in their natural lightness, and the body easily and freely shoots up in height." Quite a fine compliment to the tall guy, but we will venture to say that Plutarch must have been over five foot eleven inches or he would never say that. GETTING WORSE. "Tommy had to meet with the board of education yesterday." "The board? Good 'gracious! When I was a boy it was only a vitch!." WOULD SPOIL EXPRESSION Therefore the Photographer Didn't Tell the Customer He Was Sitting on His Hat. "Look pleasant," said the photographer. The sitter raised his eyes and gave a sickly smirk. "Your head just a little bit more to the left, please," suggested the voice from the black shroud. "No, don't move the eyes." Like a man suffering from a stiff neck, on an Eiffel tower collar, the sitter tilted his head gingerly till it reached the desired angle, and he resembled a dying fish trying not to mind. "That's very nice—very nice, indeed," said the photographer. "Stay just there while I make the exposure." He removed the cap as he spoke and counted out a minute and three-quarters. "Thank you, sir," he then observed. "You can get up. I'm afraid you've been sitting on your hat." "My hat!" roared the sitter, angrily regarding the flattened felt. "Why the dickens didn't you tell me I was sitting on it?" "My dear sir," protested the photographer, blandly, "that would have spoiled your expression!"—Answers. A NOISELESS KISS WANTED BAKER Geraldine—You mustn't make any noise when you kiss me. Gerald—Afrald we'll frighten the microbes? MARVELS OF MEMORY. Memory handed down through 30 generations is one of the perplexing facts of science. The beaver flourished along French rivers until killed off for its fur, but is now known only in about a dozen of the villages on the Rhone near Avignon. For three centuries these villages have had no trees to cut down for dams. The animals were compelled to adopt a new mode of life and have burrowed in the banks, shaping mud with their tails as usual. Recently some of them were taken by a Polish count to forests on his estates. Very strangely, they resumed the habits dropped three centuries before they were born, and at once began cutting trees and building dams. CORONATION GIFT. The "Georges" of the empire are not to be outdone by the "Marys." Certain gentlemen have started a subscription list—subscriptions are to range from a penny to a sovereign—to present a coronation gift to the king. The special feature of the presentation will be that though his majesty will receive a list of subscribers, the amounts of the individual subscriptions will not be revealed. This little device is intended to convey the impression that plain George Smith or George Jones will get as much glory and honor out of the business as the aristocratic Georges who are running the show. JAPAN'S EXAMPLE TO EGYPT. Japan decided at a certain moment in her career that western civilization was a necessity for her; she engaged western instructors and retained them until she had learnt all they could teach. And now Japan is self-dependent and independent, because Japan has taken and assimilated to the full all that she needed from the west and all that the west could give her. This is the ideal of Egypt.—Egyptian Observer. MUTUAL Mrs. Hittmell—I didn't hear you come in the house last night. Mr. Hittmell—No. I suppose that is why I didn't hear you!—Lippincott's Magazine. WOULD HAVE CAUGHT TRAIN If There Was Some Law About Clocks In Public Places Running Correctly. "It seems to me," said a man who has just missed his train, "that there ought to be some law about clocks in public places. The man who set up such a clock, which he does primarily for his own benefit, really takes upon himself at the same time a duty that he owes to the public; it is his plain duty to keep the clock right. If I could have my way about it I would let no man set up a clock in a public place without first getting permission from the public authorities, and I would require as a condition of this permission that the clock's owner should give a guarantee, with a heavy forfeiture attached, that he would keep the clock running correctly. Then I would have public inspectors who should regularly inspect these clocks and see that they were kept so running. In case of failure I would have the penalty rigidly enforced. This seems so simple that I wonder we haven't had such a law long ago. If we had one now I wouldn't have missed my train." EUNICE WANTED TO KNOW She Wondered if the Lady Would Have Died if She Had Only One Berculosis. Following is sent in by R. G. Caldwell of Yuma, Ariz.: Six-year-old Eunice was overheard discussing with her brother the death of a lady in the neighborhood. She said: "Brother, what did the lady die with?" She was told tuberculosis. "Is tuberculosis very bad?" she asked. "Very bad," said her brother. "Do people always die when they have tuberculosis?" she queried. "Nearly always," replied her brother. After a few moments she said: "Brother, I wonder if she would have died if she had had only one bereculosis." ONE ON FATHER. Herbert, aged 4½, had annoyed his father until that individual finally lost patience. Thinking to get rid of him for a few minutes by a simple ruse, he said: "Hurry, son, to the window and see the big parade!" The little lad ran to the window and climbed upon a chair, while the father smiled at the success of his little lie. The smile was still on his face when a tug at his coat tail and a "Hurry, papa, quick!" caused him to start toward the window. "What is the matter?" he asked. "Come and see the elephant in the parade!" said the boy.—Metropolitan Magazine. SPRINGS FROM FOUNTAIN. One of the natural marvels of France has recently been made generally known. It is the fountain, source, of the Coulomp, a small river in the department of the Basses-Alpes. Out of a mighty limestone wall about 4,600 feet high springs a fountain of water, yielding even in the dryest times about 300 gallons a second, and forming a full-born river, which begins its career with a series of leaps aggregating 100 feet of descent. It is thought that the water must pass under the mountain by subterranean channels at least a mile in length. SOME NEW DANCES. Paris society is reveling in several new dances that promise to be as popular as was the famous cakewalk in its day, says the London Daily Mail. They are the tango, an adapted Argentine dance, something like the once popular mattechiche; the feria, built on a Spanish dance, but essentially French, and the kens, founded upon a Canadian step, and a Spanish polonaise. NO-SKETCH BLOCK. Son—Father, I've decided to become an artist. Have you any objections? Father—No; provided you don't draw on me. HOW A HABIT WAS FORMED.

Tathese days there is a mad search She wealth, With thousands the Beight of ambition is to become at Mest a millionaire and enjoy earthly Taxury and pleasure. To these wis: @am and understanding are second. azy, if given any thought. To these “Trust in God" is far out of mind. Chiefly, if not utterly, their trust is 3m themselves and their wordly wealth. To them, in a parable, the @cst great light in Masonry. says: “hey that trust in their wealth, and Bosst themselves in the multitude of hele riches, none of them can by any enrons redeem his brother, nor give %s God reason for him.” None of ¥xem can redeem his own soul, nor aaxe himself from death and the geare, No chemical and no material ‘will save his dead body from corrup- ‘Gon. No wordly power can, for multi. millions of dollars, restore to it its gaul. No one but God can do that, aur He alone is “the resurrection and the life.” - Freemasonry is wise. In its first great lesson, it tedches its candidates a divest themselves of trust in all zpaterial dependences, and to trust 4@ God for wealth of soul and im wmartality. It encourages them to erect their Maiggle edifice — their ‘Temple of the “s@il—on that perfect fmundation, and, thus doing, to fear ma spiritual danger in time nor in _aternity. Here many of them may ‘are to toil for their dally bread and seay enjoy no luxury, but, “over there’ try will have crowns of: rejoicing god will suffer no want. HER LOVE OF MASONRY, Some time ago there arived in ‘Kansas City from Tonganoxie, Kan: sas,-an aged Master Mason by the mame of John Spray. His daughter was {ll recently; so, ill that her life was despaired of, and knowing it, she ealled her father to her, took his siand and said: “1 know the Masons must all be qactect men, for 1 know what you are ami always have been to me, my fa ‘ther. Pretty soon I shall go into that adeep from which I will awaken only Sm enternity, and I want you to pro mise me that when I am laid away csax Will have only your brother Ma- sums to place my body in the ceme- a’ Dector Palmer, who was present -when the spirit of the girl passed wway, knew of her request.

Nor was this all, From those six breasts there’ wes a silent prayer went up to heaven for the repose of that new soul more beautiful than words can tell. And when Eliner Freeman had placed the last flower on the new’ made mound he said with a sigh, as he turned to go: “Thal was a spectacle I shall never. forget.” —The Master Mason. VAST EAKE OF SOLID SODA Remarkable Discovery at Lake Magadl In East Africa—Mystery la Cleared Up. Wonderful as have been the reports of the vast soda deposit at Lake Ma- gadi in East Africa, the tendency hitherto has been to deem the stories fantastic. Now, however, the mystery is cleared up by the report of an expe- dition which penetrated quite to the interfor of Britain's remote possession —as far, indeed, as 15 miles from the frontier of German East Africa. The ascertained facts, according to the Chemical News, are more surprising than the first reports. What, in the case of an ordinary lake, would be water consista at Magad! of a solid deposit of sodz, with a hard surface looking lke pink marble. During the wet seacon—which in this region {8 very short—the surface is covered with a few incheg of water. Immedl- ately after the cessation of the rains the whole of the surface becomes dry with the exception of a margin about 30 yards wide. Even during the wet season the amount of water on the surface in no way renders Imprac ticable the working of the deposit. For many years “Indians” from Nairobi, who use this eoda for washing pur poses and as snuff, have been remov- ing it from the lake without regard to the season.—Current Literature. Unnerved. Every minute was precious, sald the man who wanted his letters written in a hurry, yet he left a building that provided three public stenographers and walked four blocks up the street to another stenographer. “She !s no more efficient than those other girls,” he sald, “but nobody will get good work out of themvtoday be: cause two workmen were killed this morning In the building next door. All the men working in the new building have gone home for the day; that fs a Tule of the trades, and it might just about as well be made a rule in the neighboring offices, for the clerks who see and hear about the accident are never fit for much the rest of the day, There fs no danger attached to thelr jobs, but the accident gives every stenographer and typewriter in the building a case of nerves.” Sleestng Potion. A woman who suffered much from sleeplessness was relieved by the strong odor of! mint breathed each night. . 2 The remedy;'was Sne of those old wife curea thit are often effective, and was brought to the sleepless one’s notice by a clever friend, who sent a bottle of strong egsence of mint, a small sponge and daintily embrol- dered lawn bag to hold the saturated sponge. K : ‘The bag had’ spray of mint leaves done in colorafon one aide, and on the other “Sweet ‘Sleep." Through a cas- ing at the’ tag were drawn narrow steen ribbons that could be hung over the head of the bed at night. The odor of the mint proved sooth- ing, and gradually the sleeping habit returned. Medical Genlua” An old doctor, seeing a roung one who was golng along the street with half a dozen shabby-looking men and women, called him aside and asked: “Who are all those people, and where are you going with them?” “I will tell you in confidence,” was the reply, “that I've hired them to come and sit in my reception room.
