MALY ARMY 10 STAKE QUAL Arabs Joyfully Accept the Italian Oc. * cupation—Nineteen Transports . Land the Second Division Of the Itatlan Army. ‘Tripoll—General Caneva, comman- derfnchlet of the Itallan expeditfon, has decided to act quickly, and it is belfeved that the troops under him will march immediately against the positions occupied by the Turks. A reconnalssauce of the desert disclosed the central body of the Turkish troops ith field guns not far from this city. Nineteen more Italian transports, escorted by warships and carrying the second division of the troops, arrived. The men were hastily landed. This division {s 15,000 strong and there are now 22,000 Italian coldiers on the cost of TripolL Not only {s the Itallan position safeguarded against surprise, but an effective occupation of the in- terior can begin. It is reported that the Arabs have accepted tho Italian occupation joy- tally, but some of the warships remain in the harbor in readiness for emer- gencies. Troops were landed also at Benghazi, Derna, Tobruk and Bombs. Although the utmost precautiops have been taken looking to the per- focting. of sanitary arrangements, cholera‘has broken out, and It ts re- ported that four deaths have occurred. General Caneva has addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants, assur- ing. them that they have not been, en- slaved by Italy. On the contrary, they, have been liberated from the yoke under which they have been la- boring tor years. They will’ be ruled by their own chlefs, under the patron- age of the King of Italy. Religious and civil laws will be respected and taxes will be reduced or abolished. ‘The proclamation concludes by an- nouncing that Italy desires that Tripoli shall remain the land of Isla, under the protection of Italy. PROGRESSIVE FARMERS WIN. for Extra Session. Columbus, Ohio—Progressive dele. gates led in the resolutions committee ot the National Farmers’ Congress, chosen after a contest, This commlt. tee 18 expected to express the ideas of thousands of farmers In more than 30 States on tmportant questions of national politics. Following this camo the real tilt of the congress. Dr. U. W. Daly, of Cin- einnati, following action by the con- _gress to act on resolutions without printing them, took the floor and shouted: “How ‘do you expect the Congress of the United States to pay any atten- tion to us when wo can’t even print our own resolutions? We will be a Joke if this action stand$. Everybody throw a dollar on the platform and ‘we'll have enough to pay 10 times the cost of printing and the motey won't ‘be missed.” ‘The clatter of silver’ dollars which followed resulted in the action against printing being revoked, In his annual address President Strange intimated that President Taft had broken his word with the Farm- ers’ Congress in cailing a special ses- slon of the Natlonal Congress to pass the reciprocity measure. President Strange suggested that the farmers declare against the tariff commission. af PATCHING IT UP. France and Germany Arranging the : Moroccan Controversy.

The noted exiled revajutionist, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, leader of the antl-Manchu party, if the plays do not miscarry, is to be elected president. He was the’ dele- gate of the revolutionary party to‘the United States In 1910, and-is belleved during that tour to have made ar rangements for financing the move- ment. 1. ; _ Sun Yu, a brother of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, who is now in Hankow, has been elected president of the Provincial As- sembly, and Tang Hua Lung, the re- tiring president of the assembly and a noted scholar, has been elected gov- ernor of Hu-Peh, The whole assembly has seceded from the imperlal govern. ment. The rebels are well organized and financially strong. They have confiscated the Jocal treasuries and banks and are issuing their own paper money, redeeming tho government notes with’ this as forelgn banks are refusing government notes. The revolutionaries have ceptured WuChang, the native section of-Han- kow, and Han-Yang, all adjoining citles in Hu-Peh province. ChangSha, capital of Hunan, is reported to have risen in revolt, and Nankizg, capital of the Province of Kiang-Su, {s on the verge of a rising, several public bulld- ings having been destroyed. ‘Thousands of soldiers have joined the mutiny in Hu-Peb.

An older yoman who slyays seemed to be cheerful and happy wai once asked-by a young girl how.she ‘Fetained her joyous outlook on life “I have three simple rules,” said the womau, “which I have followed eince early-youth, The first is this: Commit something to meroory every ‘day, something good. It needn’t be Yauch; three or-four words will do, just a pretty bit of a poem, or a “Bible verze. “The second rule is: Look for something pretty every day; and don’t skip a day, or it won’t work. “ary third rule—now mind, don’t skips day—Do somtething for some- body every day! ‘That is all there is toit,dear.” . i These rules will work always‘and everywhere, for women as well as for girls, They are so plain any one can carry them out if they have the will. Take the firat rule, for instance. Not only will the Habit of commit- ting some beautiful thing to memory evéry day make.of the mind a valu- able storehouse, but it will broaden one’s outlook on life through contact with the thoughts 9f others. If one strives to see something pretty every day the habit will soon become so fixed, that all of life will seem to be seen through colored glasses, And as for doing something for some one every day—this is' the best of.all. It is a rule which will turn a farmHouse warm in the chill of winter, and a tenement cool in the heat of gummer; it will touch hard- ened hearts with sympathy and make all humanity glad, / LETS WELL ENOUGH ALONE Yi, = Le Lie. ipa ss Us ps a et WW ge pe . > “i ise a) Y ih s mam} Ss LE r ba Sp Be wy < J cP 6 y Y RG Uy aff Mrs. Sambo—Who does you reck- on is de lazié’, your husband or mine?

A team of three horses, each drawing a cart full of eand, was struck by lightning and all three horses, with their loads, were hurled into a deep ravine some distance away, where they lay in a mixed heap. The strangest feature of the case is that nét a grain of sand was spilled on the road, nor was there any trace of the wheels of the heavy carts leading from the spot where they were struck, In fact, the whole team—horses- and -loads—seems to have been bodily lifted and shot into the ravine. The carter ¢scaped with alight shock. + ” OZONE, Ozone, which is an allotropic form of oxygen, has long been recog- nized as an active purifying agent in the atmosphere owing to its pow- erful oxidizing qualities; but the question of.its origin has been much disptted.- + The investigations of Benrit France have led him to the conclu- sion that ozone forms in the upper regions of the air, probably under the inffixence of the ultra-violet iadi- ations fzom the sun, and that it,is brought downward toward the sur- ésce of the earth‘both by descendin; dr currents and by dione of rainaged ‘After og pir Sain the “an iia. of y Saiithe sir: ie: always HEALTH NOW FASHIONABLE ‘Women of the Educated Classes Today: Worship at Altar of the God- - * dees Hygela. ‘ x ., “Look to your health,” anid quaint old Izack Walton, “and if you have it, praise God,.ond value it next tou good conscience.” Among the edu- cated classes the valus of health was never more keenly appreciated than it is today.

Ancient Rules for Guldance’of Ofticors and Gentlemen When Dining ‘With Royalty. Apropos of thé recent coronation ceremonies in London, it is interest- ing to note the difference between court etiquette of today and thet practiced 200 years ago. - Regulations prescribed by the lérd chamberlain at that period in the history of the realm seem zidiculous in the extreme to us in this enlight- ened time, notwithstanding some of the customs today are decidedly unique. : For the benefit of-officers, many of” them of noble families, thess rules were laid down: When invited to dine with royal persons, they were to be neatly dressed, with clean coats and boots, and were not to enter the room in a half-drunken condition. They were warned not to drink after each mouthful, as thet would make fhem drunk too soon, or.. to empty more than one goblet of wine after every two-dishes. 7 They were not to put their hands in their plates, their bones under the table, lick their fingers,. wipe their noses on the tablecloth, or to drink enough to make them fall’ off -the- chairs or walk with a ‘ateggering stride. . ‘These ‘are extracts from a set of rules carefully drawn up for the guidence of officers and gentlemen of noble families, which show that manners have iinproved since 1642. SHINGLED ROOFS FORBIDDEN. Tn the south, which is regérded by many as being less . progressive than New England; appreciation of the danger-of wooden roofs is grow= ing. A> few months ago Jackgon, Miss,, decided to prohibit . shingle and board roofs; and now Birming- ham, Ala., has passed an anti-shingle ordinance tostake effect January 1, 1912. New England has furnished the object lesson:which the southern cities are heeding, but the great, fires in Portland, Bangor and Chelsea do ‘not appear’ to have impressed upon New England people the dangers of shingles exposed to sparks carzied long distances by the wind. The ac- tion of Jackson and.Birmingham af- fords & good precedent for northern citics. .

What a satisfaction, at the close of the summer season, to review a long row or rows of jars and glasses filled with mellifluent fruits for the cold months to come. When a guest drops in unexpectedly, or an extra delicacy is wanted for the family table, to open the doors of the fruit cupboard and select a jar of preserves or dessert fruit from the shelves is the reward of the woman who braves the summer heat in canning season. In preserving, the following rules should be observed: Select only sound fruit as soon as possible after it is gathered. Wash carefully all-fruits that come from the market or the home garden if exposed to dust or an insecticide. Make sure that all jars, rubbers, tops and kettles are clean and sanitary. Scald before using. Never cook fruit in tin or iron vessels, but in enamel or porcelain lined ones. Prepare the fruit with a silver knife and stir with a wooden or silver spoon. Have everything ready before you begin the work of canning and be sure that you have enough cans or glasses. Pint cans are more convenient than quart cans. Use the best granulated sugar, the purest spices and good elder vinegar. Arrange to do the bulk of the work in the cool of the early morning. For canned fruits to be used in the making of ples, puddings and for dessert, sterilization is the secret of success. Jars, covers, spoons and utensils should be put on the stove in cold water and allowed to come to the boiling point, then kept there fifteen minutes. Canning fresh fruit in cold water is only possible in the case of cranberries, pleplant and green gooseberries. The proportion of sugar should be gauged by the purpose for which the fruit is intended. Can fruits as they come in season and strive for variety as well as quantity. TO KEEP THE HOUSE COOL. The New England housekeeper whose "front room" is always gloomily cool no matter how the sun blazes outside has unwittingly mastered one of the first principles of being comfortable in torrid weather. That is, to shut the heat outside the house instead of admitting it at every door and window. Air the rooms thoroughly from sundown to an hour or so after dawn, then close up every door and window. Draw the shutters close and permit no hot breeze and no blazing rays of sunlight to creep through a crevice. The rooms darkened and made restful with bared walls, and slippery linen or chintz coverings, will be delightfully cool, even at that awful hour, midafternoon. When it seems too hot to sleep at night, even with every window thrown open, try hanging wet sheets in the windows. This is done in the hospitals in very sultry weather, and the evaporation of the water in the rapidly drying linen sensibly cools the atmosphere in the room. HAND EMBROIDERY. Everybody embroiderers a lingerie waist this time of the year, or gets somebody else to do it for her. If it is a kimono blouse that one is making, then the cross-stitching or French knot design or solid embroidery goes around over the shoulders to the back of the waist without a break, and perhaps branches down into the sleeves as well, for the waist is seamless over the shoulders. But if one has embroidered a front only, then one can make one's blouse with deep Gibson tucks over the shoulders and sewed-in sleeves. The Gibson tucks hide the armhole seam, and a new elbow sleeve they are using with them is plain at the top and rather wide at the bottom, so that one does get precisely the effect of a kimono blouse. CUCUMBER MANGOES. Soak in strong brine nine days as many large, green cucumbers as you wish to use. Then lay them 48 hours in clear water. Cut a slit lengthwise in each, scoop out seeds, wipe dry, and fill with stoned raisins, lemon cut in long, thin strips, and six or eight whole cloves. Sew up slit, pack cucumbers in a stone jar and cover with a boiling sirup made after following recipe: Add to one quart vinegar five pounds sugar, also mace, cinnamon, and cloves to taste. Reheat sirup and pour boiling hot over cucumbers for nine successive mornings. HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS. A good cleaning fluid is made of sulphuric ether, two drams; chloroform, two drams; alcohol, four drams, and oil of wintergreen, twenty drops. Molsten a soft cloth with the mixture and rub vigorously on the soiled spot. If doughnuts do not take on a golden brown crust as soon as they are dropped into the lard it is because it is not hot enough. Flash may be scaled easily by first dipping them into boiling water for a minute. RENOVATING HINTS. Before many weeks the season of fall housekeeping will be upon us, and with it comes the cleaning of face curtains. For those who can afford to send them to an establishment to be cleaned, so much the better, but for the little housewife who must do her own cleaning a little advice as to a good method to employ might not come amiss. Take the exact dimensions of the curtains, shake out the dust and rinse in cold water. Put them in a boiler of warm water to which have been added a half bar of shayed soap, three tablespoonfuls of turpentine and three tablespoonfuls of amonia. Roll about fifteen minutes, rinse, wring slightly and starch slightly, or use a little thin gum arabic or gelatin water for stiffening. Measure off a plot of grass the dimensions of the curtains, stretch the curtains over this, sticking a toothpick through each sealop well into the ground. Two or more curtains may be stretched over the same toothpicks. When dry lift one at a time off the picks. When one has the regular curtain dryers which are made for this purpose much labor is saved. If one has no grass for drying, or the frames mentioned, wring them dry and lay on a sheet on the carpet and pin down every point. CANNING AND PRESERVING FOR MONTH OF AUGUST The success of canning depends upon absolute sterilization and heating the fruit till all the germs are destroyed, then sealing in airtight cans while scalding hot. For canning use one-third to one-half as much sugar as fruit. For preserving use three-fourths as much sugar as fruit. For jam use equal amount of sugar and juice. For canning use only perfectly sound fruit, fresh, firm and of good quality. For preserving, fruit is both cut up and left whole. For jam, imperfect or overripe fruit may be used. For jelly, fruit should be underripe. Cook small quantities at a time. Cook small quantities at a time. Have a fruit boiling hot when put into the jars. Fruits in a hot, dry season require less sugar than in a cool, damp season. To keep quinces, pears and apples from turning dark after they are pared drop them in cold water containing lemon juice. REVERS ON SKIRTS. Revers on skirts? Well, why not, if you can have them on waists? On coats, of course, you accept them unconcernedly, and they must take on outrageous size and fancy shapes before you will show any interest in them. Those on the new waists and skirts are not outrageous—which is a poor way of commenting on them—because they do have the positive value of smartness. The favorite idea seems to be to face the revers with black and white stripes. You see this done a great deal in the tailored frocks of colored linen for summer. They are made on simple lines, and the revers stand out as the important decoration of the dress. For those who have not seen them, a description is simple enough: The skirt may be six-gored, with a broad panel down the back. At the bottom, one corner of the loose panel is lifted and folded back to form the revers. EMPIRE WAISTLINE. Don't be afraid of those smart-looking little coats with the empire waistline. One might imagine that they are a new-fashioned cut which is way beyond one's own skill as tailor. Actually, some of them are nothing but the ordinary straight cut coats, and the illusion of the empire style is produced simply by the addition of a band sewed on flatly above the waist line. FASHION HINTS. One of the materials that have come into being at the beginning of the hot weather is the figure cotton net that we had with us several seasons ago. Some of the long white gloves are exquisitely embroidered in tiny buds around the wrist, with fine trailing vines extending part way up the long arm. The combination of broderie anglaise with mousseline de sole in colors is one that must not be overlooked when planning lingerie frocks of the dressy type. Thick cords of satin, linen, silk or cotton are used to form bralded designs on the bottom of skirts, on collars and cuffs and even on the brims of large fabric hats. There is a revival of the high stock of taffeta or black taffeta ribbon, and tiny turn-over white linen collars are worn over the top of the stock and relieve their sombreness. Rather pretty are the silk gloves made with fine tucks from just above the wrist to below the elbow. The tucks are made at intervals of about one-quarter of an inch. Little boleros are very chic. They are slightly full, and many are edged with ruffles and frills of silk. They are cut low and fastened at the waist line, and are cool and lovely. THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE SOUTH HAVE DONE MORE-FOR THE NEGRO PEOPLE IN FORTY YEARS THAN HAVE BEEN DONE FOR ANY PEOPLE BEFORE IN AN HUNDRED YEARS. The season is upon us when the college and university throw open their doors to the young men and women of the race. Many are returning to devote another year to knowledge, while thousands for the first time will seek the ways of wisdom. The educational institutions in the south have done more for the negro people in forty years than educational institutions have done for any people before in an hundred years. As we count the seasons and mark the achievements of the people since the close of the Civil war, we marvel at the revolution wrought by the books and a consecrated army of teachers. Everywhere in the south the greacher and the teacher ought to go among the people, pick their brightest youth and urge them to seek a school of training. In this way we can build up a leadership, not with respect only to certain relations sought to be established, but particularly with respect to scholarship, to science, to art and to the professions. Sight must not be lost of the preparation the great mass of people ought to have in the trades, in agriculture, particularly agriculture, and the household economy. To us it is encouraging to note that much of the silly debating that got into the life of the race ten or fifteen years ago about education, its need and kind, has passed out. What the negro needs is education; the kind he needs no man can establish. Booker Washington was never wiser than in his refusal to set metes and bounds for the training of colored men and women. His opinion is our opinion, and the accepted rule of all who study with a serious mind the situation in the south: An equal opportunity for both the masses and those who from the masses aspire for the wider and higher life. What is education? As many answers to this riddle as there are philosophers in the council we have had. But it is safe to say that education, whether the spirit or method of it, gives us the power to see two stars, where we saw only one before, and make two balls of cotton to grow where only one grew before. Education they tell us means service, and he is not educated who does not serve his fellowman. That is true, but education means also individual emancipation, not only out of selfishness, but also out of poverty. It is a poor education that gives the man, or the woman, no power to lift himself up. Colored people can afford to disregard the warring ideas and opinions, regarding education and insist upon the children getting hold of useful knowledge, that is, knowledge that will help up all forward to a wider life, and to a higher place in the higher life of the country. Any education that does this is the proper education. The education that does not do this is no education at all. NOMINATION WAS UNANIMOUS. During a local election in a German town only one man appeared at the nomination desk. "Whom do you nominate?" queried the official. "Myself," was the answer. "Do you accept the nomination?" "Well, no." "Then we must try again. Whom do you nominate?" "Myself." "Do you accept the nomination?" "No." A subdued "Donnerwetter!" escaped the lips of the perplexed official, but he went on: "For the third time, whom do you nominate?" "Myself," came the invariable reply. "Do you accept the nomination?" Do you accept the nomination. The man rose up with a smile of satisfaction spreading over his face as he answered proudly: "Having been three times, solicited by my fellow citizens to accept the nomination, I can no longer decline to accede to their wishes."—Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune. A REAL·GENTLEMAN. "You have some beefsteak, of course?" queried a man who had hurriedly entered a butcher's shop. "Yes, sir." "And beefsteak is good to take the color out of a 'back eye'?"

RESIDENCE AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The St. Loula Globe-Democrat regards as foolish the talk, now rife among Oklahoma negroes, about emigrating to Liberia. "Race troubles are taking place in some parts of Oklahoma," it says, "as they have taken place in many other states, some of them in the north. But the remedy is not deportation, voluntary or forcible. The black man is an American. His forefathers were brought here without their consent, and this is their country-now, just as it is the country of the white men who are here." It is refreshing and reassuring to read from such a source that this is the negro's country. That other sentiment, "this is the white man's country," has been swelling in volume and popularity of late, however we always had a sneaking opinion that it belonged to the men who can use the opportunities offered in the strenuous art of getting the most out of life. The Globe-Democrat thinks the negro problem, once-grave, is becoming less and less serious partly by reason of the dispersion of negroes throughout the north and west and because of decrease in negro population relatively to that of the whites. The negroes suffer from a higher death rate than do the whites, and there are no black immigrants. Speaking of the strong race prejudice north as well as south, as evidenced by lynchings and burnings in one section as in the other, our contemporary says: "Yet the turning point must come soon. Taking the country as a whole, the turning point has already come. The relations between the races, if we take the country in general, are much less hostile than they were shortly after the Civil war. Fewer massacres take place in the south now than then. Public sentiment is beginning to reach out after lynchers. Moreover the south realizes that it needs the negroes in its industrial scheme. For good or ill the American negro's place is in America, and probably as the years pass his lot here will become less unpleasant than it has been hitherto." --- We noted some of our prominent farmers, sald to be worth between two and five thousand aplece, stealing in the back of the jim crow restaurants and eating liaisons operated by people who did not care for their trade, where he had to eat in the kitchen among greasy cans, slop and all manner of refuse. Next door was a nicely equipped colored eating house, which gave first-class accommodation for their color only. They practice non-support, not only in this business, but in most every available business operated by colored men. The grocery store, the supply store, etc. But there is one good thing that some of the men of the other race are gradually driving him back to his people. The white barber would not dare shave him or cut his hair. He has quit doctoring him and pulling his teeth. He has refused to bury him, and some of the grocery men have refused to accept his trade. Are you waiting on the white man to drive you to your race? (A good idea, it is.) Can you not see that your people need your support? The time is at hand that your people need your help. For instance, take our farming element who spend thousands of dollars yearly in supplying their wants, and suppose they would spend this money with their own colored merchants, then we would be financially strong to help or support any movement of benefit to the race. Don't wait to be driven to the line, but be men and line up for a stronger race by giving your own people your support. — Palestine (Tex.) Plain-dealer. --- Our people spend as much or more money in riding around over the railreads than any people in this country. Much of this spending is unnecessary. They lope across the country to some big convention where they have no voice and are not needed. The big church conventions are the ones attended most. The preachers or proposed representatives work and "saw" on their struggling members until they receive a bountiful pile from them to bear their expenses, and live in ease on their distant journey and they don't do a "nickle's" worth of good for the struggling slaves he left behind. Oh, men he considerate, be humane and, let your under man live. Because he was not born or drifted in your position do not trample him, let him live. If he must be your tool deal moderately with him and let him have a showing—Palestine Plaindealer. The negroes of Nashville and Tennessee, we are proud to say, are getting out of the habit of allowing some one to pay their poll tax. In the coming city election that will be held on the 12th of October, eary negro man in Nashville ought to vote, and vete intelligently. He should not ask anybody to enable him to be a voter, but he should go down in his pocket and take his money and buy the privilege for himself, then he can exercise it as to his best judgment.—Nashville Globe. When the roll is called on the final day of accounting with mankind, those who have served their Master through alding his less fortunate children will probably occupy a high place, says a writer in Collier's Weekly. And those who know old Nancy Hill of Jackson, Miss., firmly believe that she will sit in a reserved seat on that day. Since 1875 this old negro woman has absolutely unafraid and in the face of defeats, obstacles and disappointments enough to have crushed any one but a person sustained by a divine faith, raised to manhood and womanhood 108 orphan waffs—white and black! She has a queer, hotchpotch collection of shanties, built by herself and some of the boys she has raised, adding a room at a time as her family grew. She used scrap plank, bits of goods boxes, old corrugated iron, tin cans with the solder melted out and flattened. The rooms are crowded close together down back of the power plant, at Jackson, on land owned by a railroad, and she is allowed to retain it at a purely nominal rent. Shading the house, or houses, are two immense weeping willow trees. With her own hands she planted, in 1872, the switches from which they grew. "Don't the negroes help you any?" asked the reporter. "You are helping the race by taking these little walts and making good citizens of them." "Naw, sub, niggers is got no use for me, 'ceep' to push some po' ill' chile off on me dey doan' want. I aln' fancy ernuff fer niggers; hit's dis yer flashy business dat catches 'em. I raises dese yere chillens ter wuck an' be hones' an' spectful ter dey betters, an' ter be some' count. Now, if I raised 'em ter silt eroun' wild red dresses on an' pink ribbins in dey halr, an' do nuffin' maybe some er dese hyar nigger preachers 'd come eround, an' have er kine w'ud fer me—but no money. Naw, I don' spect no help, an' speshily frum my color. I'll fight dis out twell I die, an' do de bes' I kin, an' de good Lord won' expect no more of me dan I kn do, w'en I'm doln' mer level bes', 'cordin ter' whut I is an' has' will he?" Some preachers seem to think that they were predestined from all eternity to indulge in sing-song preaching, and that a sermon cannot reach the hearts of their hearers except through this method. In this way the people have been led to ignore sense for sound. It matters little now whether a preacher talks sense to his audience since he has the ability to "moan," as his anxious hearers gratefully call it. It seems never to enter into the back side of his head that he is making the weak weaker, and that his followers are giving themselves over to the belief that it is all in sound. It is painful to know how easily most of our people are carried away by mere sound. The sermons which we are forced sometimes to listen to have made the impression upon us that the condition of our people in some cases is hopeless. What are we to hope for when our best men—our young men who ought to be "strong" because they are fresh from the colleges and seminaries and placed under the gospel yoke, so trained as to "rightly" divide "the word of truth"—will persist in this kind of sing-song preaching? They ought not to do it unless they can imagine the Lord Jesus and his apostles resorting to that kind of thing; and if they can so imagine then we pity their imagination. The white preachers of the old day preached in this style, but their later preachers rose above it, and now it cannot be heard anywhere among the people of the white race. Why cannot negro preachers take the same consideration and put down this "whang-doodling?" "Ephraim is joined to his idols," but we are determined not to "let him alone" until we can put in motion some influence that will prove a stumbling block to this preaching with sound without sense. — Southern Ploughman. A well-known revivalist whose work has been principally among the negroes of a certain section of the south remembers one service conducted by him that was not entirely successful. He had had very poor attendance, and spent much time in questioning the darkies as to their reason for not attending. "Why were you not at our revival?" he asked one old man, whom he encountered on the road. "Oh, I dunno," said the backward one. "Don't you ever pray?" demanded the preacher. The old man shook his head. "No," said he; "I carries a rabbit's shoe." Call off there, and stop your knocking. Learn the law of your fraternity and, be governed by it. Learn the law of your church and keep the law. Don't insist on being the great I AM in everything and everywhere; remember, the world got on first rate before you came and has some chance of running a day or two after you are gone. Baltimore Afro-American. WHY SHOULD WE EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN? AN ABLE EDITORIAL BY R. D. JOHNSON OF EMMETT, AR-KANSAS. While passing through a rural district a few Sundays ago, we noticed this motto on the church wall: "We must educate." This motto gave us reflection over quite a number of reasons for education and gave us a stimulus to think along that line. You have no doubt heard of the word education quite a number of years, and maybe you have heard it explained in the sense that "we are to use it in this discussion it means to train the mind or to conduct the mind or to lead the mind out to its fullest extent. There are possibly many ways in which the mind may be trained; in the schoolroom by the teacher, at home by reading, in traveling by observation. We will not question which of the many ways of training is the best. The question is, why should be educate our children? might be asked any of you, and there is not one of you that could not give some reason why. We say educate them because it makes them accurate observers of the things around them. The child's mind is plastic and very easily molded in the way in which the trained mind sees fit to shape it. Nothing in human nature is more open to impressions than the child's mind. The little babe sees a beautiful rose and stretches forth its chubby hands to grasp it. It no sooner has the rose but that it begins to pick it to pieces, sometimes noticing each petal. This keen observation in the child, it rightly developed, means more to its after life than you might now think. In the schoolroom the child observes the teacher and more or less imitates the teacher. The teacher's actions live in the life of the child. Constant attention to the teacher and her work makes the child an accurate observer in the schoolroom. The ideas of the teacher inculcated in the child teach it to observe things on the way home from school to home. It takes notice of the many things around in its circle of activity and reports its new discoveries to the teacher. This exercise gives it a great opportunity to observe the things at home and in what way many of them are used. We often look at the locomotive as it passes us with its train of cars and wonder how much power is stored up in it. Human intelligence delights to contemplate powerful things. Just as we admire the exhibition of power in the great mechanical creations of man, so we like to see children with power of the will, the power of thought and the power of action. Education gives the child the power of will. The child, in coming in contact with our children, gains a power of doing things that it would not get otherwise. This power makes it exercise its will more or less, thus giving it will power. The child's study of conditions around itself gives the child certain conclusions; these conclusions are reached by the exercise of thought power. The execution of ideas and deductions of the child give it the power of action. Thus it is that we should educate the child because of the above facts. Our minds are somewhat agitated when we hear or read of some foul deed committed in our community or in our county or state. Did you ever think that the man or woman who committed the deed was a grown-up child? Give the child a chance to learn something and it will create in the child the love for beautifying the home. It will stimulate its passivity into activity so that the child will take an interest in the community life. As the child develops its circle of interests grows larger until it takes in the welfore of the county and state. Since the man or woman is a developed child, let the child get the proper training and you will have better citizens. Thinking people are those people who make progress along all lines. Even the laborer, if he does not think will find himself using his best strength in vain. The farmer who does not think in seed time will stand very little chance of reaping when harvest time comes. The teacher, if he or she does not make the best preparation possible while training themselves for their work, will fall short of realizing their cherished ambition of helping the child's life. Thus it is that we should educate our children to make them better in every way. We should educate our children because it gives them a better grasp on a practical Christian life. Our race of all races needs to learn, yes, not only learn, but put into practice our Christian principles so that our daily lives will measure up to our Sunday testimonials to our Christian steadfastness. This can be best accomplished through the means of education. Send your child to school. Let it get mental power in the great storehouse of knowledge and the exercise of his mental powers will greatly aid him to rightly interpret God's Holy Writ, and from this interpretation his life will be built up in that high atmosphere of usefulness, not only to himself but to his community and to the Creator of the universe. From our observation of children and their habits, we say train them while they are young. Let them have a chance. Is the cultivation of a cotton crop more valuable than that training which the child receives in the schoolroom? Are the few dollars you save by keeping them out of school making you any richer? Do not some of you crave for the chance your children now enjoy? Then give them a chance. Since education maker the children accurate observers of conditions around them, and since it cultivates the mind to love the home, to be active in the school and district, and since it develops the power of will, thought and action, and since it makes better citizens and leads them into a life of usefulness, we say, if you would maintain your place in the present civilization; if you would compete with other races in this struggle for existence, educate your children. MONEY AND CHARACTER YOUNG MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE ARE 'AROUSED TO THE BLESS- EDNESS OF THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. Whatever the older men among negroes might have thought of the value and power of money in its relation to the problem of the American negro, it is a very certain fact that the younger men, those who are about getting the whip hand in race affairs, are thoroughly aroused to the blessingness of the almighty dollar. They are not only aroused in this respect, but they boldly crown the American dollar not only as almighty, but as the only thing that is mighty at all. We do not like to have our strong young men feel this way about money, but that is the way they do feel, and that is the only way they can feel about it, for the dollar mark in American life is the only mark that spells power and position. We have all of us fell to preaching money, here of late with eloquence and zeal, stressing, as we ought to do, the need of money in the terrible battle we are called on constantly to wage, but we have unfortunately omitted to preach the need also of character. From the lips of one of the most successful of young colored men we heard that the only solution to the vexations that trouble our hearts was money, money, and more money. He spoke no idle speech, but the belief that was in him. He is a type. With his growing kind arguments in support of character as also a necessary element in the solution for which we all of us labor are words wasted. This is bad, bad for the race, bad for the children and worse for the future. No money-changer can of himself live, and no money-changing people can of themselves develop the power of a permanent growth. Behind the dollar is the man, and if behind the dollar there is neither man nor hope of him, of what use is it? Hand in hand with our material growth, a growth upon which we do well to dwell, must go also the moral and spiritual growth of us; the determination that we shall merit all that the dollar can buy, and the preparation that will enable us to enjoy in no superficial sense whatever is bought. What is character? The ancients were up against that question, and came out the worse for the battle. There are, however, certain fundamental principles in correct living, and, therefore, in correct development, that are debatable not even among those who at the drop of the hat are ready to debate upon the color of longitude or, the shape of water. These principles are not alone for the preacher, nor the learned, but are at the hands of all who may seek them. Honesty, honor, determination, patience, toll, temperance, self-control—upon these as stepping-stones men may rise to higher things. "If we can give the French character we can make France free," remarked a statesman who had seen the revolution turn France from a madhouse of blood into a state of free men. The French, one of the wealthiest of peoples and the intellect of Europe, needed character, according to, one of them, to make them a well-rounded people. The American negro needs money, and he needs much of it. He needs more than he can get hold of honestly in the next century, but he needs character more than money. His friends, in the race and out of it, will tell him this whether he likes it or not. The theme of the preacher, the subject of the writer, the command of the leader, and the word of the teacher, in season and out of season, ought to be money and character, today and tomorrow. But the greater of these is character. H18 CHRISTMAS CHECK. Al Ryan, the hospitable flint glass worker of Lockport, N.

We have before us a reprint from the Journal of Race Development of an address delivered by Mr. George W. Ellis of Chicago before the Conference on Africa called by Dr. G. S. Hall and Prof. George H. Blakeslee of Clark university. The subject of Mr. Ellis' address is entitled: "Dynamic Factors in the Liberian Situation." The address is significant because of its review of the conditions which led up to and which involved the political crisis through which the Black West African Republic passed. The address opens with a brief recitation of recent European discoveries which led to the partition of Africa on the part of certain European and colony holding powers. It is significant that the Black Republic of Liberia on the west coast and Abyssinia on the east are the only two African sections which have not come under the political sovereign and jurisdiction of European nations. The speaker next describes the population of Liberia, which is about 2,500,000—about 65,000 are Americanized colored people and the remainder are aboriginal Africans who are governed by their civilized kinsmen across the sea. The territory of Liberia is mentioned as being healthful, rich in natural resources, gold and silver and in a varied flora and fauna. One of the strange things about conditions in Liberia is that American colored people seem to be indifferent to the financial opportunities offered to them by the Liberian republic and who seem to take little or no concern beyond a sentimental interest in the Liberian republic. It is pathetic to read the speakers' description of the alarming nature of social and political conditions in Liberia which finally moved that people to appeal to the American people for aid and assistance in their international struggle. It was very wisely pointed out by the speaker that Liberia had played an important part in the abolition of the slave trade, had rendered important and valuable international services to the nations, and therefore in this crisis was entitled to the sympathy of the civilized and liberty loving world. The first difficulty with the government of Great Britain is succinctly described, in which it was disclosed how European traders had been sent down from Sierre Leon by British firms with the support and sanction of the government at Sierre Leon and later of the British government at London, with the evident purpose of violating Liberian revenue laws and affording the British government a pretext to rob the Américanized republic of some of its territory. There follows very rapidly difficulties between Liberia and Great Britain over the territory in which British subjects were making trouble by refusing to recognize and obey the laws of the Liberian state. The government of Great Britain began the controversy by claiming the Liberian coast territories from Sherbro islands to the Mafa river in exchan-e for a few thousand pounds. The controversy lasted for more than twenty years, the United States giving to Liberia the warmest and most ardent diplomatic support, championed its cause with the deepest concern and zeal, but not to the recognition of her contentions—avail. Great Britain finally forced the recognition of her contentions, Liberia was compelled to yield her northwest territory, upon the advice of the United States and under the force and pressure of the military-and political power of Great Britain. The speaker then took up the Liberian difficulty with France. France, jealous of Great Britain, who had taken some valuable territory on the northwest, began at once to plan how she should take as much from Liberia on the southeast. At once Frenchmen were sent out to claim the desired lands and the French government notified the powers of the new assumption of sovereignty. The United States again protested, and gave Liberia every possible diplomatic support; but France, bound to equal England in the grabbing of Liberian land, forced Liberia again to yield up valuable territory for a few thousand francs. Great Britain was so successful in getting Liberian territory on the northwest that she was bold enough to attempt to take additional Liberian territory, after the Anglo-Liberian boundary on the northwest had been delimited in 1903. This Mr. Ellis terms the "Kaure Labum Question" and constituted at the time of Liberian boundary difficulties with Great Britain. The taking of this Liberian section of territory after the boundary had been fixed is one of the most pathetic and distressing incidents in Liberian history. The rivalry of France continues and she forces the cession of another section of Liberian southwest territory to match the new acquisition of Great Britain. The speaker describes the negotiation of the two loans secured by Liberia from Great Britain and the severe-crisis which followed the loan of 1906, which came near erasing liberia from the map. After enumerating the factors in the Liberian situation, the author describes the natural resources of the country, and closes with a glowing picture of American commercial portals, for example, New York. POETRY of and by Our People AN ODE TO A FRIEND. (By Stella H. Smothers.) 1. Four years have elapsed, dear, Since last we met; And still we are fond friends, and have no regret. For amid the joys, and sorrows too, We both have remained ever faithful and true. 2. Time has not yet changed us, or drilled us apart; Ah! even a thought of it. Causes a pang in my heart. For what would we do, without each other pear; One to comfort the other, and help ban- ish the tear. 3. Best friend of my life, ever faithful and true, Who helped me to begin life, all anew; Whose kind words and deeds, Are ever fresh in mind. Encouraging me onward, all of the time. 4. Such friendship as yours, is help and rare. Making me stronger, and more willing to dars; Causing the sunlight to shine in bright rays of joy upon me. Thereby making my glorious days Brighter days through them. 5. Sharing our joys and sorrows alike; Striving to help each other, with all our might. God grant that such friendship may never end, Until our voices cease to blend. In harmony as friend to friend. -Stella H. Smothers- RELIGION IS SO DIFFERENT NOW. Religion is so different now, From what it used to be, The old time way of serving God Alas no more we see. They worshiped in an old log house No carpet on the floor; But yet they had a happy time For a couple of hours or more. Oh how they made the building ring With songs of love and praise; They had no organ or paid choir In those old by-gone days. The old-time preacher of the "word" Would speak with tremulous voice. Yet oh, the words the good man spoke Would make the saints rejoice. But things are very different now, The house is grand and great; The singing by a choir is led And must be up-to-date. The preacher speaks but a short time And that in flowing style. With a display of rhetoric The moments to beguile. Yes things are very different now From what they used to be; I can but like the old time way It's good enough for me. THE DEAD. Who are the Dead? Are they the souls who, queasing, forth have fared. Through the loose doors of their trail tenements? Who tarried not for staff, nor wine, nor bread? Who in the stress of Night their bosoms bared. Despite our bitter tears, our fond li- ments? Are they the Dead? Who are the Dead? Are they the souls who, from their larger view. Regard with quiet eyes our foolish ways? Marvel that we should seek to stay, in- stead. Of speeding them to their environs now? And smile to see the sepulchers we raise? Are they the Dead? Who are the Dead? Say, rather, are not we in full-sensed life. Bound by our sickly fears, our outworn creeds. That strangely speak of faith—we, who are led Apart from Love, by selfish alms and strife. Stifed, enslaved, undone by our mis- deeds— Are not we Dead? Addiside, Guthrie, in the Outlook LOVE'S ANOMALY. I thought that the highway of love was pleasant. Merry with music and very fair; A-shimmer with amberbeams and soft with moonlight. Sweet with the perfume of roses rare. I know that the highway of love is rocky. Scattered with rose pots, bruised and torn. Shimmer with tears that our knowledge brings up. Sad with the phantoms of dreams forlorn. And yet were I back where our love awakened. Back to the days when my dreams were sweet. And you were to open your arms in pleading. Ask me to choose where the crossroads meet. With peace I would travel that hard way over. Knowing the road was my paradise. What matter the pain or the toll and trouble? Life holds its meaning within your eyes. TO A PRISONER. Imprisoned bird, how canst thou sing As if 'twas early morn. And from the blue over sparkling fields Thy song was born? Thy world is now a little cage Hung on the dusty street. And with the sound of heavy wheels Thy strains compels. Ah, if thou canst from just the rays That on thy prison fall Find and foot forth thy happiness— So may we all! So may we all for little things in And is the sun of what we save. Find singing days.

For many years there has been a bitter rivalry going on in the city among the Negro aid and social clubs for social supremacy, and among the many secret orders for the largest enrollment. ‘These contests are perfectly legitimate and ereate interest and we do not pretend to criticise them but there is another kind of gontest which we should like to see them all en- ter into with might and main and which will ofter at this time in particular a greater amount of lasting fame and popularity than either of theabove tha that is to sce which of these numerous or- ganizations will be firstto be able to boast of every member being a qualified voter. This prize would be worthy of every Negro male society in the city striving for and would be a means of stimulating registration among our neople. A little ovér ten years ago there was in this city a Negro gentle- man of moderate means who sce- ing an opportunity of purchasing a piece of valuable property at a rather low figure embraced it-and today with a few improvements on it, this same piecetof property cannot be bought for five times its purchase price. This is not the only example where a Negro has used good foresight in the purchase of property in the city but it serves well to illustrate the point, which we wish to bring out and’ that is that there are still many golden opportunities in the city for inyestment and especially should they appeal to our young men. It is true that all of the chances for investment which now present themselyes may not in the short space of time of ten years increase five fold but if they rise in_value at a less rapid rate than this we shall even then haye made a profitable purchase. Oppertu- nities for bettering our condition are confronting us every day and if we would only set aside some of the many dollars which we are wasting and pit them into some good investment our standing in the community wouid be raised and we would be fortified againsy poverty in our declining days. __ On the first Sunday afternoon in this month the Men’s Sunday Club. after being closed for about two months during the hottest part of the summer, opened its doors again to the public. We were especially pleased when the Vacation period of this organiza- tion came to a close for in the short time of these two months we observed more of our young men and women proimenading up and down West Broad street on Sun- day afternoon than ever before. A goodly proportion of thes@young folks were regular attendants at the club and they, as all young people not having any place to go which would be of spécial interest to them and from which they felt they could derive some benefit, joined the great throng of Sunday afternoon strollers who make, a veritable Fifth Avenue out of West Broad street and who do not alway deport themselves in a man- ner beyond adverse criticism. It is by no means‘conduciye to the best interests of these young _peo- plejto be continually seen gallivant- ing up aig down the streets at any time‘and especially it is to be con- demned when done upon the Sab- bat. Te Men’s Sunday Club offers to these young people a place wholesome and beneficial entertainment and we are delight- si to a tia Sf nea them are ailing ena asonpor- ‘Hate Ot akeading 3 eecrust that many more. will be nunibered er e a eres among -the ‘regular ‘attendants: It's 2 deserving work which is being carried on by this club and it fills a need which was long felt Prior to- its organization six years igo, Let us all rally to its’ supportand make this year the most succeséful in its history.

It fits as admirably 2 body of men el eted to perform. certain du- ties, and it binds them as rigidly to the rule as it does the individual. Too often have I noticed that boards, committees, commissions and councils in organizations have been appointed orelected from whom the organ- ization constituting them never hear a single thing in the shape of a re- port. Ihave been forced to conclude that such bodys are simply appointed to clear a constitutional provision, that, in so far as its actual usefulness is con- cerned, need not exist. In such bodies one of two thirigs should be done and that right quickly as a matter of re- trenchment. The constitutional provi- sion should be abolished or‘the intent of the provision be carried out. The latter would be, however less profit- abe. than the former andto it I invite thé attention of all men who are in ay way, in aby organized body, affecte thereby. Acommittee, as an individual, upon whose shoulders responsibilities rest from whom .some valuable service is expected by the appointing power and the peopte represented should not be as “idle as an oyster and dumb as Baa- lam’s Ass.” ‘On the conta, the: should be vigilant and active in the pe: formance of duty. They should de ol service to the head of the organization of which they are a part and by whom they were aj jectted. If such were the case, andall will admit that it should be, many of the tangles into which officers of organizations run. would be averted and officers and members alike, would benefit as the result of progress, the result of unity of action coming from a common uoterseading and a mutual agreement. Althoug! our officers should think and act} it is not just nor reasonable to suppose that hey can do it always, reasonably and profitably without ‘the seen of heir constituents. They should have ur moral support, our suggestions and ur thought and the fact would stimu- ate them, no doubt, to deeper thought and richer results, ‘And herein rests the cause that, to my nind, gives rise to the necessity of a yeneral committee for the Pythian Irder, whose duty should be to meet eriodically to discuss ways and means o perpetuate the healthfulness of our ow healthful Endowment.

Each mem- ber was allowed a guest and the hai! was comfortably filled with a jolly and erpeptent array. ss z . 3, ‘ * & ‘ol. H. A. Macbeth did the installation act and in an inimitable manner, leased the officers and delighted the audience. Col. Macbett was at his Geet'ana handed out to the officers he was installing “broken doses!’ of safe and sane advice. The installation being over the new president, Mr. Har- rison W. Mann, assumed charge of the club and appointed his committees. ‘The president is a born diplomat as was shown in the selection of places for the committeemen and the nen appointed. Mr. Mann selected, some of his Tuast rabid opposers as commilteemen, and by s9 doing bridged over diffi- culties which might have seriously handicapped his administration. We congratulate the club uport the wisdom of their new’ president, and predict thatthe “white, winged Dove of peace” will ever hover overthe lub and over tbe: staunch galaxy of young Negro manhood of which the club is com- yosed. . g The clubestablished a precedent in its exhibition of generosity for the faithful and continuous service of the treasurer of the club, Mr. John Wes- ley Scott, otherwise known as “The King.” The memento was in the shape ofa gold emblem adopted as the part of the insignia of the elub, The emblem was happily presented by Mr M; H. Andersan, who spoke feeling. ly of the worth of Mr. Scott. The words were vigorously applauded and appropriately responded to by Mr. Scott ir. Mann, the president, at this point delivered the gavel to Mr. Nelson Cuyler, the toastmaster of the evening, who being of a happy mood, drew forth applause as the result of his very first remarks. The rendition of suitable selections by a quartette composed of members of the club was fol- lowed by a forceful speech by Capt.J. C. Simmons. Nothing need be said of the congenial Caplain. Everybody knows that he is an ever reddy “rapid fire” gun that always hits the mark. yee shots were taken at the history of the Dove. One speaker saying that the dove originated in South Carolina. Then Noah must have come a long way to secure this valuable article of the feathery tribe. A casual glimpse into history would reveal the fact even since this historical occurrence,’ South Carolina was a §part of a submerged contitfent. Others spoke upon ‘the signification and intent of the club, among whom was Dr. Morrison formerly of Boston. Dr. Morrison congratulated himself in that he was able to meet such a hardy set of young men: The doctor scemied surprised that he found intelligence prong he and so stated. He said that from the informatiorhe had receiyed, he ex- eee to find, logather a different set of men. We feel proud that the Jove Aid-and Social Club ina masterly way proved to the good doctor that he was not quite among heathens. + The menu served was such as would suit the taste of the most delicate epenies and right heartily did avery one enjoy it. Every member of the ub exerted every effort4o-keep cordiality and hospitality upon the guests. It was good to be there, . , There are possibilities for this club and for each young man of which it is compored: The future needs or will'need men of training: mes who be- cause they have lived in union, know how to teach it. The future will need men who have beey trained in the art of jranaging, men and material ina manner to bring ‘about wholesome results. The Doves Aid and Sotial Club can aid mightily in giving to the state this class of men. If they will emulate the characteristics of the Dove, the bird of peace, this club will be an ever living, and potent influence in the moulding of meu and the making of sentiment. The Dove is emblematic of pee and peace should be a component part of the club’s makeup. ‘The Dove is a bird and— “Birds in their little nests agree, And ’tis.a shameful sight, That thildren of one fara * ee Fall out and chide and fight.” : . Therefore, let the “Dove and Peace” be an ever burning motto before the eye, and let every member of this club in spite of differences of opiniofin matters effecting the progress and perpetuity of the club be united, let bar- mony, unbroken by any well founded cause, forever exist in all of its yried and varying pene for the betterment of the club J pesticalerly, and in the dissemination of stolid traths to the public in general. “brought to book” in the Court o} Special Sessions, Part V. today, Judges Zeller, pe and Ryan presiding.

There Were elaborate directtous as to how to pralse Jehovah and much caretand ‘expense was bestowed upon the prep- “aration for pratse (1 Ch. 25:1-7; 6:21; £16:4-7; 23:5; 2 Ch. 29:25). All great ynational undertakings were accompa: jmled with'prafse. The songs of the ‘anclent people of God, as we see from ‘the passage before us and from’ the <whole book of Psalms, were largely tz. Xen up with God's praises, “they sang one to another in préising and giving ;thanks.” Our modern hymnology, on “the other hand, {s largely taken up with man and his experfences. The substance of what the people sang on thts occasion is summed up In these words, “for he is good, for hls mercy endurgh forever toward Israel.” This was a'favorite song with Israel. In the one hundred and thirty-sixth Pealm the words “his mercy endureth foreyer,” occur twenty-six tlmes. Thié was David's theme when the ark. was first brought to Jerusalem (1 Ch, 16:1, 7, 3441), and the theme of the peopie at the dedication of Solomons temple - (2 Ch. 7:1, 3; see also Psalms 103:17; 106:1; 107:1). What a theme It Is! How much more heartily we ought to sing It than Israel; for we have the added Ught upom God's goodness and everlasting mercy that falls from the crosa. It was a literal fulfillment of prophecy that Israel now sang this song (Jer. 33:11). While the priests and, Levites sang the people shouted. This ‘would appear to cold souls’ who have no deep sense of God's over- whelming glory and the vastness of our debt of gratitude to him, Itke too auch excitement. It fs all right to shout for somé man in acknowledg- ment of his prowess and skill and the debt we owe to him (indeed the man who doesn't shout 1s regarded as un- “patriotic and a great offender), but it 1s all wrong to shout for the great Jehovah in view of what he fs and what he has done for us. But the re- Ugion of the Bible had a good deal of shout in it, for it was real and earnest Josh, 6:10, 16; Ps, 47:1, 6; Isa, 12:6; 44323; Zech. 9:9; Luke 19:37-40). Of course there is in our day much shout. tng that {s unreal and hypocritical, and that ts more offensive than cold- blooded quiet, but {t should not keep us back from obeying God's command- ment by shouting at the right time and in the right way (Ps. 5:11). It 1s well A GOOD SUGGESTION TO’ PAR. * ENTS. 1.1 ‘resolve to see only the good points in my -ctilld's teacher and to speak about them to her and others. 2.1 resolve to think always that the teacher {s trying to do her best. ‘3.1 resolve not to eritictze the teacher in the presence of my chil dren or others. 4.1 resolve to make home condi: tlons 26 favorable as possible for the physical, mental, moral well-being of my children.

Do we have a similar delight In the house ot God today? It fs a bad sign if we do not, But there: was not unmired joy on this occasion, Some remembered the more splendid edifice of the past and wept at the comparative insigait- cance of the present temple {v. 12). ‘But God’s messenger Haggai bade ‘them forget the pat and look forward into the still more glorious future (Hag. 2:3-9), The true Christlan look Is forward, not back (Phil. 3:13).

Separation From the -ileatken, 4:16. When God's people begin to put their hands to the work and prosper in tt the enemies soon take note of {t ahd bestir themselves. It 1s a good sign when the enemy wakes up. We need not be disturbed: at all. If we Keep right with God he will take care of the opposition. The work in the case before ns was delayed some years, but It was accomplished, and no doubt good came of that delay. The opposition to us may be as powerful and cunning and unprinctpled and re- lentless as in this case, but we need not have a fear (Pa, 2:14; Rom, 8:31). “Let us bulld with you; for we seek your God, as ye do.” The enemy ts far more dangerous, when he wishes to combine with us in the work then when he comes out in open dpposition. The request of the Samaritans seemed plausible. They did seek Jehovah in a sense (2 K. 17:24,°27-33, 41), and doubtless many In Judah would have been glad of thelr hearty co-operation and considered the policy of Zerubba- bel and Joshua very ‘narrow. But to have accepted thelr proffered help “would have heen fatal. They were pro- feesed friends but real enemles. And an enemy outside {s*never so danger ous ag an enemy inside. Zerubbabel and Joshua escaped the snare that was set for them. They followed the nar- row but secure path of separation from the ungodly. It awakened their bitter opposition but it saved the work of God. The greatest Injuries~ the church has ever suffered have come from disobeying God's clear commend about separation (2 Cor, 6:14-18), and fotning hands with the ggdless to do God's work. To godless church choirs, unconyerted church and society offl- cers, and the whole host of Rehums, Shimshats, Bishlams, Mithredaths and Tabeels who wish to bulld with us we should say kindly but firmly, “ye have nothing to do with us tg build an house unto our Gog.” But of all true Chris- tans we; should say ““We ‘ourselves together will build unto the Lord.” Separation from the world and unton with all true bellevers aro two great secrets of power. It was “unto the Lord” and not unto self that they pro- posed to build. As they would not ac- cept thelr cooperation thelr adversar- fes gave them a taste of their oppos!- tion. wut thelr opposition is not so perilous as thelr apparent coopera- tion. JUST WHAT HE FEARED, Senator La Follette tells this: “Calhoun Clay was a walter at © seaside restaurant. The white glare of the sun-drenched beach injured his eyes, and he had to consult ar oculist. The oculist fitted him out with spectacles, and, as he left the shop with the spectacles on bis nose, be gave A great start and halted be fore a huge and extraordinary ma: chine. “Calhoun stared In awe at this machine for some time. Then he sald: “What's dat, boss?” “That, ‘sald the oculist, solemnly, ‘ig an opbthalmometer.” “‘Sho,’ muttered Calhoun, and he backed farther away, his eyes still fixed on the foruiidable instrument ‘Sho, dat's what Ab was afeared 1 wur!’"—Philadelphia Record.

It is strange that we never weary of complaining when we first teste the bitterness of a false friendship. We need not flatter qurselves that we are haying an original experience. It 1s an old, old story, Already in hoary antiquity wise men built proverbs on the wiles of hypocrisy and the snares of,detelt. That astounding judgment of,the writer in Scripture, “AI! men ar€ flare," must be regarded as the honest expression of opinfon of a man , Who was ot igorant of the. ways of the world. Of course, he was mistak- en in making such a sweeping asser- don; and he goclogties by saying that he spoke hastily. ' But the apology does not take away the world-wisdom he had acquired. He must bave seen enough, #f such a contémptuous opin- fon of mankind could be ‘forced from dim, We. are rather accustomed to such pessimism. It is not, uncommon to. hear from those who apparently ought to know that the world {s false, that every nian has his price, that the ten- derest conscience can be salved with a consideration. I do not believe it. Buch cynics have long usurped the tight to judge human nature, assum- jog a dignity to which thelr warped ‘opinion does not entitle them; and we | should not hesitate to pluck from them ‘the magisterial robe. There ts an old Hebrew saying that the accusers should not presume to be the Judges. Common experience proves that the world consists of the good and the bad, of the true and*the false: Even Mf we do nét exhibit a broad spirit of ‘charity, as we should, we cannot dls- regard every rule of logtc: If there should be one grain of wheat in a bushel of tares, we cannot deny the existence of that single grain. One honest man wil but to rout the col lective wisdom of all the ‘mfsan- thropes. What tends to substantiate suctt cynical judgments is the allurement of deception and the ease with whtch men are {mposed upon. Not realities attract, but pretense and make-believe. While we ato always being warned that ‘appearances are deceitful and all that glitters is not gold, few can with- ‘stand the temptation of stopping short. at the surface. It is sq easy to take fm the outward impression and so troublesome to peer underneath. The representation of the truth {!s attract- ive, not the truth Itself, When the semblance of it 1s made up fn con- crete form and is highly coldred most men will want nothing else. From,thts toa distortion of th rath and finally to a false substitutidn for the truth, the doséent {s easy, and {t !s.n0 longer recognized. At length men strangely ask themselves, like Pilate, "What 13 truth?” Hence the sal travesties on religion when the sublime teaching of the common fatherhood of God was dis- torted into blind fanaticism and the. idea of a common brotherhcod was turned into a mortal hatred. Hence DEFIED THE COMMODORE Reuben Pinkham, a native of Nan tueket, made his first trip as third Heitenant on the shIp Potomac, whict crossed the north Pacific, a region Itt tle known to naval vessels in the early thirtles»Pinkbam had betn on sev eral whaling, voyages and was tamil far with those waters. The author of “The Island ‘of Nantucket” says that one day, near sunset, he bad the watch, while the commodore was pac ing up and down the deck.

The com- modore flushed @ith anger and ex: claimed in perelmptory tones: “Lot the men’ leave the braces!” and again the braces were dropped. “Don’t any of you daré to drop the ropes! shouted Pinkham, shaking his trumpot at the crew, who once lore took hold.

Fer.the protection of the sof and to provide against the disastrous ef- feets Of a possible drought next sum- mer-fatmers should put in winter corer crops. The best crops for this purpose are the clorers, vetches and emall grain crops. On land phere the clovers and vetches will ‘grow erscessfully they are better than rye other small grain crops, but where they will not grow it will be advisable to sow rye. For best results these crops should be putyin as quickly es pos- sible, especially in the western part of the state. Prepare the;land by disking and harrowing and sow 15 pounds clean crimson clover seed per acre, and if conventent, sow also 30) pounds acid phosphate rer acre, as thot will help to insure a stand of clover. Some sow in addition to this one pound of turnip seed per acre-preferredly the Cowhorn variety, claiming that the turnip leaves pro- tect the young clover plants In thei early stages. It can do no harm to gow the turnip seed as these crops avo intended to plow ,under next spring to tmprove the soll. ‘The seed should be covered with a caltivator or with a harrow about one inch deep. In the western part of the state these should be put In at once so aa to make sufficient growth to withstand the winter. In the central part of the state they ekould be put in not-later than the Jast pf September, while in the east- em and warmer sections of the state they can be put in 28 Iate as the middle of October. In the coastal plain sectfon bur clover Js also fine for a winter cover crop. The seed of this is usuatiy purchased in the rough or bur and should be planted at the rate of 4rom three to four bushels of the burs per acre, and covered about one inch deep. These should go in at once. Acid phosphate can be used with these to advantage. airy vetch also makes a fine winter. cover crop, and will succeed fn almost any part of the state on well drained land, especially where partridge or mountain peas grow. It sown alone sow at the rate -of 20 pounds af sced per acre, and if with rye or other small grain, one bushel of small grain and 20 pounds of vetch per acre. They should be sown at about the same time as crimson clover and covered from one to two inches deep. ‘Where none of these crops will grow successfully sow rye at the rate of one and a half bushels per acre, You want a heavy growth to protect the land and to add a great grantity of vegetable matter when terned under next spring. ‘Turn under two or three weeks Before yon wish to plant the crop which fs to follow. Rye, especially, should not be permitted to get woody before turning under. Better turz ft under as soon as the heads begin to appear than to wait until it is grown, If it gets full grown and dry weather foNows st would leave the Jand.so open znd loose that the cror following it would suffer more than if no rye was put on the land. All these crops should be disked well and thoroughly cut_ up, before plowing under next spring. Good re sults may bo expected only when they are well mized with the soll before the crop is planted. If any one doubts the benefits to be had from these winter cover crops Je! him prepare one acto of average land and treat {t as described above. Next spring plant another acre by the aide ef it that has had no winter cover croy and cultivate both alike. One demon stration like this will usually convince a person of the value of winter cover erops. Seed for any of the abovemention ed crops can be had from almost anj reputable seedman, but uy only the Dest and freshest from impurities The best are none too good. T. B.

LONGEVITY OF THE GRAPE VINE. Grape vines haye been famous al- ways for their longevity; in fact, it 1s doubtful if they ever dle of old age, as even the longestlived trees do. Pliny, the Roman writer, who was a great observer, mentions one 600 ‘years old, and there have existed vines in modern times in Italy and France whose age was known to be three to four centurles. An article In the Technical-World tells of some of the famous old vines of California, which Were introduced, probably from Spain, by the old Franciscan fa- thers, away back in the eighteenth century, Near Santa Barbara Is a huge vine called “La Vina Grande," which, go far as Is known, {s ‘the big- gest individual grape vine in the world. ‘The trunk fs ten feet in clr cumference and resembles the trunk of a big oak rather than a grape vine. Some of its branches are over four feet round, and the vine {s trained over a massive arbor which cavers a space of 10,000 square feet. This vine has produced as much as twelve tons of grapes In a single season. This vine is not so old as might be supposed from its great size, for it was planted ‘by a Spanish woman in ‘1842. ‘The fenous “Trinity” vice, near ‘Los Angeles—so called because it has ‘three principal branches—is much older, though it covers only half as much ground as “La Vina Grande.” It was a very large vine as far back ag the year 1800. All these old-time vines aro of the Mission and Rose of Peru varieties, and they seem to be immune to the destructive phylloxera and other pests. There fg a famous wild grape vine on the shores of Mobile bay, near Daphne, Ala, which 1s known as the “Gen, Jackson” vine, from the fact that “Old Hickory” camped under It during bis campaign against the Sem- Inote Indians. This vine ts over 6 feet around, and 1s belfeved to be up- wards of a century old. INOCULATING LAND. It {s apparent that most of our up land prairle lands will need tnocula- tlon, says Dry Farming. Nearly all farmers (at least those who have ta- ken an interest in alfalfa) understand this term. It Is necessary that cen tain bacteria be found In the soll. If they are not there naturally they must be put there. This planting of the bacteria is called inoculation. Pure cultures can be obtained, but the best and safest method is to se cure dirt from a successful alfalfa field. This dirt should be sowed over the fleld at the rate of 200 or 300 pounds per acre. upon a cloudy day. or just before a rain, if possible, and harrowed in. Sunshine 1s {njurioys to the germs. s A sack and a half of soil to an acre will be sufticlent, but it milght be of advantage to mix this with other dirt to insure equable distribution. An ad vantage In starting with a small patch of alfalfa ts that when this patch {s well inoculated a tarmer has an abun dance of alfalfa dirt to inoculate larg er areas. . THE USEFUL WEASEL. It fs particularly useful to know what animals we regard as our aiders fad abettors In fighting the rats, says London Country Life. It does not seem that we need have any hesitation in rating the weasel as a valuable fighter on our side. Even the keeper hint self, with his natural tendency to do to death any creature that attacks hie game (and certainly the weasel !s not to be held wholly guiltless of this charge) bas become so generally: can- vinced of the weasel’s value ar @ slayér of rats, that he often holds his hand, and we do,not nearly so ofter see the carcass of-te‘small, butcour ageous, killer salted Vong the, bard door as we used to sen it’ -t a CONFERENCE FOR NEGRO PASTORS Al Denominations fe Asked to Sena Galaga SETTLEMENT WORK “BEGUN BUT -FURTHER DISCUSSION OF + THE MORAL, CIVIL, SPIRITUAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL CONDITION OF THE RACE 18 NEEDED FOR PRACTICAL UPLIFT, WHICH CAN BEST BE DONE THROUGH RELIGIOUS CHANNELS, Durham, N, C—Hupdreds of colored people in touch with the’ masses of therace attended the recent summer school and Chautauqua of the Na tional Rellglous Training school, this city.

Webster Dayis, Richmond, kindled the minds and hearts of bun. dreds of the race, who received a new educational value and expert. enced a newness that gave them a determination to dwell am{d the-most monotonous surroundings to triumph over certain ‘conditions making large ‘umber of thelr race parasites upon soclety. | Settlement work is a new feature ‘among the educational activities of the Alro-American- folk, and this In. stitution is the ploneer in such 2 needed work for the negro’s, good The teachers and preachers were given lectures {n sanitary chemistry and during the six weeks of the summer schoo! and Chautauqua ex cursions were made to various sec tins of the city that afforded the members of the settlement party an opportunity to do real settlement work among thelr people, The good accomplished by’ such excursfons wil undoubtedly become a potent factor in a large number of citles, towns and a large section of the rural dis tricts, in the south especially.

The president among other things sald in bis address in the interest of Hampton the other day that the south is the negro’s hope. Some people may feel inclitied to deny this, and doubt- lesg will, but the sober fact remains thaWlthe south offers more opportunt flea along industrial lines than any other section of our country. At the south the negro ts on the soll and has abugdant opportunities to buy land and further Intrench himself a3 an ta- dispensable part of his community. ‘This cannot be said with equal truth of any other section of the country. ‘The money powers are so entrenched at the north that no legislative wor- ries are necessary to effect the social ostracism of the negro.

While the law in this respect-Keeps the negro to himself lt does not prohibit, the exer- cise of the most prodigious energy or ‘the most preserving frugality. In this Nes the negro’s opoprtunity. ‘There is another phase of the sub- Ject which relates to the land and its price. As a general thing land Is cheap, though , gradually rising 1m price, THis is‘not so at the north, where it s almost impossible for the masses of colored people to buy and own their homes. Then the drift is toward the northern cities, where Ilv- ‘ing conditions are generally (dnsant tary and unsuited to people who have been accustomed to a life largely out of doors. Then, too, the men, the plain men, cannot find coramon ‘abor to do fnsthe same, quantity as in the south.

We realize that the colored minister 1s the real leader of hts peo- ple and that there should be co-opera- tion between him and all others who are striving for the racial uplift, We belleve that the colored minister holds the real key to the situation, and for this reason we desire to have a heart to heart conference of all the ministers, {respective of denomina- tlons. “Such practical questions as these will-be discussed: What 1s the moral condition of the people in your com- munity?

Many illuminating re- plies were recelved. Yalé university answered that It never tried to attract negro students, but never felt justified in Fefusing ad- mittance to those who came, At Leland Stanford there was sald to be no hostility whatever toward colored students. Fordham university, New York, replied that {t had never had negro applicants for admission, aid if any should come it was impossible to say what reception they would meet. At St, Vincent college, in Penn- sylvania, It was said frankly that “we do not think it wise under prevailing conditions to accept any distinctively colored students into the college.” Naturally none of the northern state universities draw the color line. In Missouri the Une ts sharply drawn, The president of Carleten college, in that state, writes; “I have not found a student In the state who would tolerate a negro In the college, ‘and It {s even worse since the Jobn- son-Jeftries fight.” So it seems that while Mr. Johnson won the champicnshlp, he did not help the cause of negro education In Mis- sourl, Nearly every year sluce 1826, when a negro was graduated from Bowdoin college, there have been col- ored graduates from the leading’ col- leges of New England.—Boston Globe.

CATOR. At the instance of a number of rep- resentative negro citizens of Texas, Lr. Booker T. Washington is making a tour of the state of Texas for the. twofold purpose of making observa- tions on the condition and progress, of the negro people of Fexas and of awakening, inspiring and instructing his race in this state. He hopes also to meet in the course of his journcy many of the good white people of the state and to Interest them more fully In the progress of the negro and to convey Information respecting that progress which will be» valuable to all, Similar tours have been made in ‘Missisalpp!, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, and good reports were made of the effect of these trips by both whites and blacks. In fact, no adverse criticism was made, but, on the contrary, the best white citizens who heard bim speak were positive in their expres- sion of approval of Dr,/ Washington's visit ‘and {ts influence among both races, A herald of peace between the races, an evangel of the gospel of Industry and economy, ‘the influence of Booker, Washington has unquestion- ably been a benefit to both races, {n ‘the south and to the country at large. His never-to-beforgotten Atlanta ad- dress, on the occasion of the Atlanta exposition, furnished a status quo, a Modus vivend!, as to the race ques- tion, that was acceptable at once both to the north and to the south; to the black man and the white man. The effect of this address was instantane- ous and universal. In bis addresa he declared fn effect that the basis of racial peace was to be found in the complete social separation of the races, to be accompanies by habits of icdustry on part of the black man and of economle usefulness on his part to the white nian; and the best ‘trlend the negroespcould have ‘were the white people right around them; and that economic and moral progress avd efficiency on part of the black man was a better state ot things for the south than the black man’s eco- nomic apd moral weakness and degra- dann, ‘The Influence of this address was as remarkable at the north as at the south, and contributed greatly to the allaying of sectional bitterness and to a better understanding between northern white men and southern white men, For the first tlme, on read- ing the Atlanta address of Booker Washington, northern white men be- gan to understand the southern situa- tion and the southern point of view And it 18 not too much to say that Booker Wathington has done as much or more than any otber Individual, white or nizck, of bis time, to facilitate a better feeling between the white people of the orth and the white peo- ple of the south, as well'as between whites ard blacks the country over. His influence has not been merely sentimental, but bas directly af- fected commerce and investments as detween the two sections of the na tion, ‘Speaking of and for, the negroes of Texas, | can say that we are not ashamed to have bim visit us and to see our humes, schools, churches, faring, stores and banks.

J. Selrfidge in his London department store. London a century ago had her own standard of commercialism and exploitation and the method was quite as un-American as London is. The merchants believed in dignity at all times; they did not encourage idle curiosity. Then Mr. Selfridge, very American and affame with nerve and ideas, entered the staid city, and one morning all the papers were alive with his advertisements. He told what his store contained in three-inch headlines, he gave the policy of the institution in long columns, he whetted the public curiosity, and then lived up to the expectation of the people. Truly, London was surprised and London was indignant, but London was also curious, and today as a result of the Selfridge idea the big stores are advertising and becoming more of a public institution than they have ever been. In America we need no example of what the newspaper does for the department store. It has built the loop district, and so potently is this recognized that stores in other parts of the city destring additional trade are beginning to use the paper columns extensively. All are seeking patronage because without the peoples' co-operation no institution can exist. Now the newspaper itself is also a business proposition. Run along different lines perhaps, but with the same fundamental principles governing its well being. Perhaps no other business gives so much for so little. The best brain of the country is called for its columns, No branch of life is left unnoticed. It is a history, a literature, a dictionary of everyday life, and it is absolutely dependent on the populace for its existence. Other institutions supply physical needs that are constantly reoccurring, but the newspaper supplies the mental need which is at all times uncertain in its demands. A famous writer once said that "no man could be ignorant who kept himself familiar with the newspaper." It gives the best expression to all events and ideas in the most concise manner possible. And the news in accredited papers is absolutely dependable. As an institution it is the keynote of a race or nation. It reflects the trend of thought and lends color to public opinions. It molds and shapes men's minds and ideas according to the brain which creates it. It is a dominant force of far-reaching influence that cannot be escaped or crushed. Crimes are prevalent, but were it not for the newspaper and its ever watchful eye crime would perhaps be the rule rather than the exception. Moreover more movements toward right living and right thinking are directly traceable to the press than to any other public organ. To the cities the papers are like the rapids to great bodies of water, ever cleansing and readjusting them. The local news organ watches over the community, points out the immoralities, brings to light those things which are for the public good and which, were it not for the paper, would often be overlooked or silenced. As an evidence of progress the paper is a monument to the race. To our race this is especially true. This only in very recent years that we have recognized the need for records and histories of our daily occurrences, but the negro newspaper all over the country has for years been watchful of an interest to which the race is but just awakening. Moreover, our papers have given incentive to brain development, and through them we have found free expression for our Fred Douglases and T. T. Fortunes. With a voice that can be heard from coast to coast, they bring before the land the needs of an often neglected portion of its citrity. To the paper the race owes reforms which the pulpit often cannot reach. It influences politics, watches the school systems, guards the social centers, in fact keeps the good of the community ever before negligent people, besides giving a healthy tone and clean understanding of literary matters and pastime interests. It is the weapon of the oppressed and the mouthpiece of the race at all times. And the voice speaking through it is usually that of Destiny. But in the final analysis, the paper is the direct medium of the advertiser and the subscriber. To them it gives its best and closest attention. And from them it must draw its sustenance. And, since the paper fulfills in its entirety its duty to its patrons, an obligation is imposed on them toward it Our race papers should be patronized at all times when possible. They can only prosper as we answer their needs, and their progress means ours. Financially, the patrons of a paper cannot be too prompt. It is an institution where, because of its very nature, large expenses are always accruing. We norselves set the standard for any enterprise, and we norselves measure its progress. The newspaper will prosper despite individual shortcomings, but every person should feel it his duty to help toward that progress. Advertisement means larger business, an increased interest, a larger outlook, and our interests demand that we keep that which we are offering the public everywhere before them. The newspaper is the surest, swiftest measure for accomplishing this. We must recognize our interests in our enterprises and live up to them if we ever measure to the full stature of a nation.—Illinois Chronicle. SCIENTIFIC MYSTERIES THE PROBLEMS OF MIND, LIFE, GRAVITATION AND ELECTRICITY. A most remarkable state, condition or point of nature, the absolute zero of temperature, has been reached to within three degrees. This is considered to be a great scientific achievement. Hydrogen gas was solidified into pure white ice, and this was employed in the process of cooling helium, and all works of the hand of man were surpassed. The temperature sank lower and lower until a point only three degrees from absolute was reached, but the obdurate helium did not even liquefy. The imagination, however vivid, cannot encompass what this intense cold, implies. It may be the death of the activity of matter—that is, a state of rest so far as chemical reaction is concerned. Thus if the true zero of nature can be reached it may obtain that matter will put on new aspects and hitherto unknown properties, or it may expire, become chemically inert, totally devoid of heat and lifeless. Still even then the standing mystery ever confronting man, always awaiting explanation, gravitation, will act. Nothing known can affect the universal attraction, forever directly as to mass, whether hot or cold. However, the three degrees may never be overcome, or, indeed, they may, for it is now thought that science has no limits, the scientific mind being capable of solving all problems—so saith some mentologists. The capital problem is first to discover what mind is, then life, next gravitation, next electricity, and reach a climax in finding how it is that gaseous masses glow and issue light when existing in frigid voids at zero absolute. There is no solution in sight for any of these perplexing problems and harassing. No progress whatever has been made in finding what mind is, the reason being doubtless that mind is unable to think of itself. On trial it will be soon discovered that one is unable to set up a train of reasoning regarding his own or another's mind. "His own" implies an owner, but no fact as to who this owner is has ever been discovered. Humans are not perfect. —Edgar Lucien Larkin in New York American. FEES FOR ITS FLASHES SAN SALVADOR USES A LIVE VOLCANO AS A LIGHTHOUSE. The republic of San Salvador is the only government on earth that collects lighthouse fees on account of a volcano that it owns and without the slightest cost of upkeep. The volcano beacon is about eight miles inland from the port of Acajutia, and its pillar of cloud by day and its fire sky by night are visible for many miles out at sea. It bursts forth every seven minutes and is just as accurate as any revolving light that warns mariners of danger in any part of the world. This volcano has been keeping up this seven minute series of eruptions ever since anyone can remember. It is a favorite amusement of visitors to sit by the hour during the lazy afternoons and, watch in hand, to time the eruptions till they fire the occupation and fall asleep. No one has ever caught the volcano napping, however. Every vessel that puts in at Acajuta has to pay its lighthouse fee. There is no other lighthouse than the volcano, but that is sufficient excuse for the government of Salvador to make a charge for its services. The explosions that accompany the eruptions sound like detonations of a heavy charge of dynamite, but fortunately they are not sufficient to shake the ground perceptibly more than about a mile or two from the summit of the crater.—Pearson's Weekly. ALWAYS THE WAY. Tommy had been invited to dine at a learned professor's house, and his mother was anxious for his good behavior at table. She gave him elaborate instructions. "Well, Tommy, how did you get on?" she asked on his return. "You are quite sure you didn't do anything impolite?" "Well, no, ma—at least nothing to speak of." The mother's anxiety was aroused. "Ah, then, there was something wrong. Now, tell me all about it, Tommy." "Oh, it wasn't much. You see, I was trying to cut my meat when it slipped off the plate on to the floor." "Oh, my dear boy, what did you do?" "I just said sort of carelessly. That's always the way with tough meat" and went on with my dinner."—Pete Newn. NO CHANCE FOR SYMPATHY Subject Had Been Too Sore a One for Dorothyto Open Her Heart Easily. "When you are seven years old nothing gives so much satisfaction as to be able to claim superiority in all things over your playmates," said a fond mother of four healthy youngsters. "One day the question of grandmothers was under discussion between our Ruth and our neighbor's Dorothy, both, at the important age mentioned. Ruth, knowing herself long of these relatives and having heard that her little friend had none, would not drop the subject till Dorothy ran home crying to her mother. ers, while Ruth has two?" she sobbed. "It was explained that hers had died long ago. Several months later a telegram announced the death of one of Ruth's grandmothers. The bercavement cast a gloom over the household. Many neighbors called to extend their sympathy. By the time Dorothy and her mother came in little Ruth had become fully impressed with the importance of receiving so much attention. "Dorothy,' said she in that childlike manner so well suited to challenge a retort, I—I've lost one grandmother.' "Humph! That's nothing! I've lost two,' was the response." THE SAME HAND He—He asked her for,her hand in marriage. She—Did she give it to him? He—Yes; and ever since that event it's been in his pocket. SURELY UP AGAINST IT. The staff humorist approached the editor with a lugubrious face and his resignation. "Why, you are doing all right, said the editor; 'what's the trouble?' "Well, you see, sir," replied the staff humorist, "it's this way. I got married a few weeks ago and now if I print a joke about wives, my wife thinks I mean her; and if I mention a mother-in-law, her mother comes around and raises the roof; then, too, one of my wife's brothers is a plumber, another an ice man and the third is a coal dealer. More than that, she has a half-brother who is a book agent, and they are all big, hucky fellows with ugly tempers. If you don't mind, I'd like to retire from the humorous department and take a position as obituary editor.—Boston Transcript. HARD-WORKING AUTHOR. A Yiddish dramatist in New York was recently in court in a queer suit. A theater company there had made a contract with him by which he furnished the company two original plays a week, also directing the performance and occasionally at need playing a part. This amazing and prolific genius even found some leisure time, in the course of which he wrote two plays of which he intended to dispose to his own profit, when the suit was brought to enjoin him from selling them to any other company. As his total salary was $40 a week, he pleaded in defense that it was hardly fair to give up all output of his genius over and above the two regular plays a week for that consideration. EXPLAINED. At the farmhouse where they spent the first half of the summer, Marjorie found her chief delight in listening to the cheeping of little chickens. At the house where they finished their vacation she found ducks instead of chickens. Their cry puzzled her. It took her some time to figure out a reason for their hoarse quack, but finally she settled it to her satisfaction. "Just listen, mother," she said "these poor little chickens have the croup." AMONG THE MASONS. Grand-Master Butler paid the brethren of St. Joseph Lodge at Claxton a visit last week. It goes without saying that he left the brethren greatly inspired and the work of St. Joseph will undoubtedly prove that fact. The Grand Master is acclaimed wherever he goes. It is indeed gratifying to note how well the brethren are paying the Orphan Home assessment. Lodges that have failed to do so should report at once. To be a good Mason you will have to do full duty. The Eastern Star sentiment is daily increasing in the state. The brethren should see to it that a chapter is established wherever a lodge is located. Write to the grand officers for information. Savannah will soon have another flourishing lodge. Past Master S. T. Redd is working assiduously in order to present to the grand lodge many fine pieces of timber. The work will be done on the fifth Monday night in October, and the brethren are urged to meet at the lodge room at seven o'clock in order to assist in the work. It is expected that a great exemplification of the work will be had. Masonry Needs Men. "Masonry needs men!" So writes an emphatic friend and a brother to one of our American contemporaries. "Leaders in thought are what we lack," he continues. "Membership of our lodges is intelligent beyond the average. Those in control of lodges and grand lodges are men of affairs conducting craft business as a labor of love, honestly and successfully. The beauties of our ritual are brought out by brothers who give time and patience to memorizing and rendition. But certainly with such perfect organization, Masonry should have thinkers—not officeholders nor men concerned with the material things of a particular jurisdiction—but those filled with the spirit of Masonry, alive to its possibilities, who could lead the fraternity along new paths to a usefulness yet undreamed of."—The Masonie Sun. It doesn't require much effort to grumble. Are We Brethren? Seek your answer in any lodge. Go among the brethren and listen to the conversation. It will not be necessary to ask questions. Where men or women are gathered together they talk about each other. Man is prone to judge his neighbor, and in the absence of his neighbor that judgment is very plainly expressed. The character is laid bare and analyzed, its good qualities magnified, depreciated or ignored; its faults exposed or excused. In a brotherhood pledged to friendship and mutual assistance one would expect that each would spring to the defense of another when his reputation was assailed. Charitable judgment and kindly consideration at least may be assumed. If we love our brother or if we merely esteem or respect him, we are slow to attribute to him unworthy actions or motives. If his character is aspersed we defend it, if appearances are against him we give him the benefit of the doubt. At the least we can refrain from criticism, from words that may give pain or cause others to regard our brother with contempt or derision—The Globe. C. T. Williamson and W. H.
