VOLUME XXVII. TAFT ON THE NEGRO PROBLEM .Addresses Large Gathering of Colored Citizens at Los Angeles. THINKS SOLUTION OF PROBLEM WILL BE IN THE WIDESPREAD INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION OF RACE. Los Angeles, Cal.—When President Taft was in this city he addressed the colored citizens at Blanchard hall, speaking on race prejudice. He declared that he had given the so-called negro problem much consideration and that the believed its solution would be in the widespread industrial education of the race. President Taft referred to Booker T. Washington as one of the greatest men of this and the last century—white or black. The chief executive of the nation said: "No friend of the negro race would or could minimize the obstacles against which you have to contend in building up yourselves. Individually, and in building up your race as a community in the United States. No one who deals with you truthfully would attempt to depreciate the difficulties or mental suffering that many of your race have to undergo in encountering cruel and unreasonable race prejudices, and no one either would do you any good who attempted to stir up in your minds that kind of a prejudice against those difficulties, against that prejudice, which would lead you to do something that your friends would regret. It is one of the facts, which, when you have overcome them, will entitle you to the greater credit for the successful struggle that you have made. "I have taken a great interest in what is called the negro problem, and I believe it is to find its solution in the widespread industrial education of the race, especially in that part of the country where the race is most numerous, through the southern states; and while there is a strong feeling at the south that presents a difficulty, those who have studied the question and those who live in the south know that there is a large element of the white men in the south who are the real true-friends of the people of the south, and those who are his enemies are not of the best people of the south and do not have the true patriotism and the desire to solve; the question presented by the races in the proper way. "I know that there are differences among you. I know that your greatest leader, Booker Washington, finds those who do not agree with his method of unlifting your race. Personally, I think Booker Washington one of the greatest men of this and the last century, while or black, and I think so because he has had the courage, while he loves your race—his race, he has had the courage to tell you the truth, and to tell you the only way by which you can earn your place in the community and render it better and better and higher and higher. "He has had the courage to tell you that it is work, attention, industry, that shall make you valuable to your community, that will cure the prejudices that you now have to struggle against, and that when you furnish a mercenary or a selfish motive to the white man, however low he may be, to respect you and to ask for your labor to assist in building up the community, then prejudices disappear COMPOTE OF APPLES. One pound of apples, one-quarter pound of lump sugar, one cupful of water, the juice of half a lemon, a few drops of red coloring. Put the sugar, water and lemon juice into a clean enameled saucepan and let them boil quickly for ten minutes. Peel the apples, core them and cut into quarters. Throw the pieces into the boiling sirup and let them cook slowly until clear and tender, but not broken. Then remove the apples, reduce the sirup and add a few drops of coloring. Arrange the apples in a glass dish and pour the sirup over. A little cream or custard served with them is a great improvement. NEEDED MORE FLAVOR.

Customer—Well, you'd better take it out and let the ox dip his tail in it two or three times more.—London公finition. Savannah and his interest yields and you get your rights. "Now, my friends, I thank you for your kindly testimonial. I want you to know, whether you do know it or not, that there are those of the white people in this country, and they number millions, that sympathize deeply with you in the struggle that you have to undergo and realize that those sufferings are not to be done away with by eloquence, not to be done away with by expressions of sympathy, that they are real, hard burdens to carry, but it may help you to carry them to know that you have friends in the white race, that you have men who have a sense of responsibility for this government and this people—this government and this people that in times past brought you here against your will and have necessitated the conditions that now exist. "Therefore, the United States is responsible for you and for you betterment, but that responsibility cannot, in the nature of things, reach to a point where it will save you and elevate you unless you shall struggle on with bravery and courage and self-restrain and a determination to win." FIGHTING THE BOLL WEEVIL CHARLES BANKS ISSUES LETTER TO COLORED FARMERS OF THE DELTA ADVISING THAT ACTIVE CAMPAIGN BE WAGED AGAINST PEST. Mound Bayou, Miss.—Charles Banks, president of the Mississippi Negro Business league, has published an open letter to the negro farmers of the Delta, as follows: "To the Negro Farmers of the Delta: The boll weevil has infected practically the entire delta. Its destruction in the southern part of the state has been dreadful. But the fear of the weevil has worked more hardships on our people than the weevil itself. Those who stayed where the weevil found them have fared better than those who came away to escape him. These last ones came into hardships they knew not of, and have been the losers. In a word, the thing to do is to rout the boll weevil, instead of allowing him to rout you. The merchant acted for the best interests of all in not advancing money when the weevil appeared; for more money was cleared the very first year of his advent than has been done in better crop years. "It has taken you a lifetime to get together the things you own. To work or break up and start again on lands you do not understand will very likely mean your undoing for all time. "You can and should raise more hay, hogs, grain and feed stuffs. Nor does this mean to neglect cotton, for when it is cultivated under government and other methods, the weevil-infected district can be made to yield as much as other places. For instance, Sharkey county, with the weevil, produced more cotton than Cochoma county did without the weevil. So, judging by the light of past experience, it is the part of wisdom for the negro farmer to adjust himself to the conditions surrounding him, and remain here and fight it out. This is my advice and counsel as president of the Negro Business league of Mississippi, which has for six years kept an eye open for your best interests and pointed you the way thereunto.

WASHINGTON, THE GREATEST NEGRO IN THE WORLD," THE OPENING WORDS OF A LENGTHY DELIVERANCE ON THE IMPRESSION MADE BY THE WIZARD IN HIS TOUR OF TEXAS. By J. B. Cranfill (white) of Dallas. Booker T. Washington is the greatest negro in the world. Recently he made a tour of Texas, speaking in the principal cities. He was greeted everywhere by vast audiences, made up of about two-thirds negroes and one-third white people. I was present when he spoke here in Dallas, and I do not hesitate to say that his address was one of the most sensible, pointed, practical and eloquent speeches that it has ever been my pleasure to hear. I have listened to may of the great orators of our time. Among these I recall Henry Ward Beecher, John McNell, George C. Lorimer, John A. Broadus, B. H. Carroll, J. B. Hawthorne, George W. Truett, Sam Jones, F. B. Meyer, P. S. Henson and W. J. Bryan. I have heard both Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt, but Cleveland was not an orator, nor is Roosevelt. As practical pungent and convincing speakers they both exceled, but I would not class either of them with the great orators I have mentioned. All things considered, Booker T. Washington's address was the equal of any I have ever heard. The soul of orators' is its power to thrill and sway an audience. Not only is this true, but that man is a great orator, who, knowing the character and temper of his audience projects his speech so that it will accomplish the purpose whereunto it is sent. Judged by these rational standards, Booker T. Washington's oration classed with the eloquent sermons, speeches and appeals that I have heard from the illustrious preachers, publicists and statesmen that I have named. The chief point in his address was the right relation between the races, and with an intuitive incisiveness he touched upon the pungent questions of racial prejudices and predelictions with a deftness and a delicacy as sublimated as that of Paganini when in the floodtide of his greatness and dis- "Porter, I want you to put me into a carriage where there's no smoking or talking, and where the passengers do not keep getting in or out."

"That isn't a plot," replied the man who had paid $2 to see the show. "That's a conspiracy." "When mamma asked if I'd been stealing jelly, I said yes." "Why didn't you deny?" "I didn't have the face to say no." function he swept the gamut of his violin as though it were the fabled harp of a thousand strings. No one who is familiar with present-day conditions in the United States doubts that within the past decade the races have drifted further apart than they were a score of years ago. A generation of negroes has come upon the scene who knew not Joseph. Along with the advent of this new race who never knew what slavery was, and who never felt the kindly influence of the Christian slave-holder, and thus learned to love the whites, there has grown up a spirit of rebellion among some of the blacks against the white people that bodies no good for either race. White all of this is true, the new generation of white people have also grown away from the love of the uncles and aunts of the negro race that was salient in the ante-bellum days. All of this needs to be conserved by tolerant statesmanship on the part of both races. Booker T. Washington wisely said that the negro was in the south to stay. All of the Utopian schemes that have been suggested for his expatriation have inanely collapsed when considered in the light of the real and fundamental issues that are involved. The negroes are not going to leave the south and certainly the white people are going to stay. Washington made this luminous and clear, and he outlined the plan for the negro race in which they would not only be welcomed by the white race as permanent inhabitants, but reflect credit upon themselves and honor upon their native land. To this end he accentuated the importance to the negro of making an all-round useful, industrious and property-owning citizen of himself, and thus becoming identified with the civic and industrial life of his state and time. I have never heard a more scathing arraignment of thriftlessness, idleness and crime than Washington's speech contained. He told the negroes that it was their solemn duty to exterminate the idle, loafing and criminal classes from among them, and to stand with the white people and all other good citizens of all other races in a campaign for moral, civic and religious advancement. I wish that Washington could speak to all the whites and all the blacks of all the south. I go farther—I wish he could speak to all the people of our common country. Be it known that even now there is greater tolerance Success in sheep husbandry is a gradual growth. It is best to begin with a few sheep and build up the flock as the experience may suggest and the farm keep them. Success does not come to the man without experience who jumps into the business on a considerable scale. Such cases usually result in losses and disappointment that following so soon after the flock is founded cause the owner to abandon his project. A few ewes being purchased and the selection of the breed determined, procure the best ram that can be obtained and you are ready to go into the business as it ought to be gone into. "They tell me your boy Josh is very versatile." "He is," replied Farmer Corntossel, patiently. "I never saw anybody who could do so many fool things without-repeatin' hisself." Colored linings are again to be used for suits; sleeves will be long and will closely follow the contour of the arm. Tribune for the negro in the south than in the north. Booker Washington did not, but I charge it upon the white men of the south that their neglect of their negro neighbors is a crime unspeakable, and this listlessness and indifference upon this vital question is largely responsible for the present strained relations between the races that is seen in so many sections. All over Texas recently the negroes have been labored because they did not vote for prohibition, but their failure to do so was largely due to the unwisdom and indifference of the white men, who, locally and in the state at large, utterly ignored the negroes and left them to be voted like dumb driven cattle by their most malignant enemies. When we have another prohibition election I trust those who are chosen to lead the campaign will have a care for this important matter. In the meantime, we should be expending our energies in such a way as to educate the negroes to the gravity and importance of this transcendent issue, so that they will be prepared to cast their ballots right when the next election comes. I shall always be glad that I heard Bocker T. Washington's address. If I had space I would take pleasure in giving to your readers a full report of what he said. Suffice it to say that this greatest of all negroes is a man to be trusted by both the whites and the blacks. BIG DEMAND FOR TEACHERS DR. L. B. MOORE OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY SAYS PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED TEACHERS FIND NO TROUBLE SECURING EMPLYMENT—WHAT MEMBERS OF 1911 CLASS ARE DOING. Washington.—Dr. Lewis B. Moore, dean of the teachers' college of Howard university, has made his annual report to President W. P. Thirkield, D. D., LL. D., on the distribution and location of the graduates of the teachers' college, class of 1911. He says, among other things, that the demand in the modern school for professionally-trained teachers in the pedagogical and practical sciences and arts is so great among colored people that it is impossible to supply the demand made by superintendents of education and principals of high schools and college presidents. "Were the classes in our teachers' college much larger than they are, they would readily find positions of importance and large service," Doctor Moore maintains. Following is the roll of the class of 1911 with their present positions: The noted actor, who had consented to give a reading for the benefit of a certain charity, arrived home late that night with a very worried look on his face. "Why, my dear," said his wife, "wasn't the reading a success?" "No. Didn't do it at all," he replied, dropping into a chair moodily. "Didn't read it at all." "No. You see, the chairman of the reception committee first made a speech introducing the chairman of the managing committee. He got up and told about the excellent work of the honorary treasurer, who got up and made a speech about the plans for next year and introduced the president of the association, who told all about the work of the concern, and then introduced the chairman of the meeting, who was to introduce me, but by that time the audience was leaving. So I slipped round to the door and came out with them." - Tit-Bits, London. Weaklings are always the ones who complain of being overworked. NEW YORK CITY VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS CHARLES J. PICKETT TELLS OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN TRAINING SCHOOLS OF METROPOLIS. New York City-An idea of what the vocational schools of this city are trying to do was given the other day by Charles J. Pickett, principal of the school for boys at Fifth avenue and One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street. "Vocational schools aim," said he, "to send out their graduates with trained, skilled hands, gulled by minds trained to quick, adequate thinking of the work to be accomplished. "We do not want any rule-of-thumb boys in our school, we want boys to receive a training which will enable them to be thinkers as well as doers. This does not mean that they must be scientists or logicians or book worms, but rather that they shall have such an acquaintance with the academic work directly related to their trade that they will not fall in adequate comprehension nor quick appreciation of the possibilities of any task they may undertake. Not for an instant is it to be forgotten that the institution is, after all, a school and an integral part of the public school system of this city. "Of course, it differs radically from the other schools. The work is different, the atmosphere is different, the methods of instruction and discipline are different. The trades are taught by practical mechanics, and not by theorists. The academic work is presented by men who have specialized in their respective lines, and the principal has had training in both practical industrial work and in school work. "The boys have an unlimited measure of freedom. The discipline is not restraining and coercive, but is constructive and individualistic. Each boy is responsible for himself primarily. Another departure is in the matter of home lessons, which are never assigned unless at a pupil's request, in which case the work is outlined, for that pupil." Dr. Pickett explained that the vocational schools were primarily for those boys who intend to choose the industrial rather than the commercial or professional sphere of activity. "The problem of choosing a career for a boy is one that is seldom given sufficient study by parents," continued Dr. Pickett. "Very often much more attention is paid to the selection of a suit of clothes than to the selection of what may become a life work. Ordinarily a boy who plans to go to work drops into the first hole that yawns before him. "Is it any wonder that the world is full of misfits? What greater argument for vocational guidance could be advanced? This guidance should be given by persons skilled in understanding boy needs and possibilities, quick in interpreting potential power, and thoroughly versed in the offering of commerce and labor, to the end that wise choice after deliberation would be the rule rather than the exception." Dr. Pleckett then called attention to the attitude of organized labor toward vocational schools. "It is to be hoped that practical business sagacity will prompt employers to co-operate with the school and give preference to its graduates. In this way, with the public schools, the journeymen mechanics and the employers working harmoniously and intelligently together, there cannot fail to be achieved that success in this new field of public education which is confidently predicted by those who have labored so long and earnestly with but one consideration in mind, the betterment of the individual pupil, and consequently the general betterment of the body politic."—New York Times.

WASHINGTON ON NEED FOR SAVING Negro Leader Dellivers Address in Birmingham, Alabama. WASHINGTON URGES HEARERS TO DO ALL THEY CAN TO GET MEMBERS OF THE NEGRO RACE TO SAVE THEIR MONEY. Birmingham, Ala.—Booker T. Washington, founder and principal of Tukegee institute, reached this city just a few minutes before he was scheduled to speak and was driven immediately to the Orpheum theater, where he was greeted by an immense audience, about 300 of whom were leading white citizens. The negro leader and educator and his traveling secretary, Edwin J. Chesnutt, were met at the Louisville and Nashville railroad depot by Dr. W. E. Pettiford, Dr. U. G. Mason, J. O. Diffay, Dr. Lauderdale and Windham. When Doctor Washington appeared upon the stage he received an ovation by the largest audience he ever faced in Birmingham. Rev. C. L. Fisher, D. D., former pastor of the Sixteenth Street Baptist church, was master of ceremonies. The audience seemed delighted with several plantation melodies sung by a trained chorus of 100 volces. Dr. W. H. Nelson led in prayer. After a statement by Rev. J. A. Whitted, pastor of the Sixteenth Street Baptist church, and a collection taken for the church, Doctor Fisher introduced in felicitous words former Congressman S. J. Bowle, who in turn delivered an address which was, frequently applauded. Mr. Bowle began by saying: "It is with pleasure that I have accepted the opportunity of presenting Doctor Washington to this audience. He is known not only throughout the length and breadth of this country, throughout the world. That he stands for a sane and rational program for the improvement and uplift of his own people it seems to me cannot be reasonably doubted. However much certain theorists may wish it were otherwise, and however much it may have avoided complications and problems that would not now confront us if it had been otherwise, the fact remains that eight-tenths of the negroes of the United States live in the southern states and here they must continue to live. Some of them will, doubtless, as others have in the past, move to other states, and some who have moved to other states will doubtless return to these states. Such movements of population are common among the whites as well as among the blacks, but the fact still remains that the great majority of the blacks in this country not only now but for an indefinite time in the future must remain citizens of the south. The truth is that when efforts have been made in times past by emigration agents to move any considerable number of negro laborers from any neighborhood or county in the southern states to some other place, such movements have almost invariably been met with a pronounced and emphatic hostility of their white neighbors and employers, and so clear is this hostility that laws upon the subject having the definite object and purpose of checking the exodus of laborers by means of this sort have been enacted." After citing the law Mr. Bowle continued: "But there is a law of a higher nature and of greater consequence than the civil law which you see, manifested in the courts and in the police officials. I refer to the moral law. That law enjoins not only that you shall refrain from the commission of crime, but it enjoins certain positive duties. 'In the sweat of your own face shall you eat bread,' is a divine command, Industry and sobriety are required by laws as positive as that which says: 'Thou shalt not kill.' And this brings me to the point that is uppermost in my mind. "A few months ago Col. J. W. Church, who is now connected with Hampton institute, came into my office with Doctor Phillips and invited me to attend the commencement exercises of that institution. In the course of his conversation he referred to what Hampton was doing in the way of industrial education, and what it had done, and what it proposed to do in the future. He referred to the plan that had been adopted to have hundreds of small Hamptons educating the hand of the colored man to work so as to get the highest results of his labor at the same time that they educated the brain. These smaller institutions were to be spread not only all over Virginia, but throughout the south. I have a right to refer to Hampton institute, because the speakers of the evening is its most distinguished product. I listened with great interest as he unfolded the splendid plans which he had in his mind for the further growth and enlargement of that institution, and when I got an opportunity I said: "But why should this work be started, why should so much money be expended for the negroes alone?" Is not industrial education, the training of the hand, the training of the eye. along with the training of the brain, just as important for the white race as for the black? If we need industrial education to make better farmers, to make better carpenters, to make better brickmasons, to make better citizens for one race, why do we not need it for both? He said in reply: 'I thoroughly agree with you, industrial education must be for both races; just now,' he said, 'our particular work is for the negroes and the Indians alone—the other will have to be evolved in the future.' I do not know of any reason why emphasis should be placed upon the observance of the primary virtues of industrial economy or thrift by one race above another, unless it is that our race needs teaching of that sort more than another. If so, then the greater emphasis should be placed where the greater necessity lies. But, at all events, if I understand the lesson which the eminent speaker of the evening has been teaching from one end of this country to the other, it is certainly a lesson which can and should command our unfalling and enthusiastic support." Doctor Washington began his address which lasted one hour and ten minutes. It was enthusiastically received, the applause being often led by the white listeners. It was considered to be one of the most remarkable addresses ever delivered to the colored citizens of Birmingham—remarkable for its absolute candor in dealing with the race problem. Following are some of the white citizens seated on the platform: Judge W. I. Grubb, Doctor Parks, Doctor Riley, Mr. Klotz, Judge Edmund H. Dryer, Hon. J. O. Thompson, Mr. Smith Cullom, Jr., Judge Crow, Professor White, Doctor Ullman, Mr. M. V. Joseph, Mr. Cabinness, Hon. John Frye, Ben M. Jacobs, Doctor Whaley, Mr. Gafford and several white ladies. Doctor Washington spoke as follows: "I am glad to be in Birmingham in connection with the beginning of the work of Dr. J. A. Whitted in a new church. I have known Doctor Whitted for many years in North Carolina, and there are fewer stronger and more useful men of our race anywhere than is true of him. "There is important work for a church to do in a city like Birmingham. The colored population of the Birmingham district is large and growing each year. Birmingham and Jefferson county contain not far from 100,000 colored people. This I think you will find the largest number, with possible one other exception, of colored people in any county in the United States. The mere fact that so large a number of colored people are living in this county brings a tremendous responsibility to the church and people who have the interest of their community and state at heart. "There is perhaps no other country in the United States where colored people earn and handle so much money annually as they do in Birmingham and Jefferson county. It is safe to say that from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 are handed every year by our race in this county. "I sometimes fear that as a race we do not rightly appreciate our opportunities in this country in the matter of finding plenty of opportunities to live. In most of the older countries of the world there are thousands of people today who are seeking labor, who are willing to work for a very small wage. When I was in Europe last summer I saw numerous cases where thousands of people walked the streets at night and by day, sleeping sometimes on the sidewalks, sometimes under the trees in the parks, because they could not find labor with which to supply their wants. How different is it with the hundred thousand colored people in Jefferson county. I do not think I am far out of the way when I say that there is scarcely an able-bodied man or woman of our race in this county who cannot find plenty of work every day in the year, and in most cases instead of having to seek work, work seeks them. "The colored man as a laborer has an advantage again when compared with the condition of laboring classes among other races in the old world. During the past summer in southern Europe I saw strong, able-bodied men working for a wage of from 12 to 15 and 25 cents a day and glad to get work at that price. How different it is with the colored people in Jefferson county, where in many cases they earn from 10 to 12 times as much as the same class of laborers in southern Europe. "In Jefferson county the negro has spatted down a pretty big field in the matter of labor. I do not want to see my race merely tolerated in this county because it exists in large numbers, but I want to see my race in such a condition that it will actually be wanted and sought after because of its usefulness and high service. This means that in an increased degree everywhere the church as well as the school should teach our people reliability in matters of labor. "In some communities I am often told that while the negro is valuable for a certain kind of labor for a certain time, that one cannot depend upon him for constant, effective labor in too many cases. It is often said by those who employ our people in large numbers that the negro as a laborer is all right until, Saturday night, when he gets his wage, and then one is not sure he will return to his place of employment or not until the last dollar is spent. If in any degree that is true in this county, it should be a part of the work of the church and of the school and of leaders generally. to teach our people to become reliable, to keep their word in anything that relates to labor. If a promise is given to be at a given place of labor on Monday morning at a certain hour we must be there, no matter what befalls us. "And then we must remember that progress is being made in every kind of labor. The kind of labor that would satisfy on the farm, or in the factory or shop or kitchen or dining-room or laundry twenty years ago will not satisfy today. In all these respects improvements are constantly taking place, and the negro man and the negro woman must make progress or they will find themselves left behind and other races will come in and take their places in the world of labor which we now occupy. "I am glad to see that the colored people have two banking institutions in the city of Birmingham. This is most praiseworthy and important. It is not only necessary that our people have instilled into them proper methods of labor, but equally important that they be taught through the church and the school to save a large proportion of what they earn. And let me add here that it will pay every white man and every white lady who employs colored labor to encourage them to save a part of what they earn. The colored people for the most part who do not render satisfactory service as laborers is the class that have nothing and want nothing. The class of colored people who cannot be depended upon as laborers, for the most part are those who want such a little that they can supply these wants by working two or three days in the week, and when they have gotten enough money to supply their few wants, whether it is a drink of whisky or a chaw of tobacco, then they stop work and say what the dickens is the use of working any longer. On the other hand, the colored man who owns a house and wants to add another room to that house, who owns one dwelling and wants to buy another dwelling, or the colored woman who has $100 in the bank and wants to put $200 in the bank, is the individual who will work steadily for six or seven days in the week. "Through education the wants of the negro must be multiplied if we expect him to become more satisfactory as a laborer. Wherever people have little education, they do not give satisfaction as laborers, because ignorance means that the individual has few wants to be satisfied and these wants can be satisfied by working two or three days in the week and then the individual ceases to work. "A gentleman residing in Birmingham who has mining interests in Mexico told me a few days ago that the negro in Birmingham as a laborer was worth from three to four times as much as the Mexican as a laborer. This meant that the negro in Birmingham had by contact with the white man, through the Influence of the church, the Sunday school, and the day school had been educated to some extent, had his wants increased above the wants of the Mexican, consequently, the negro in Birmingham was more satisfactory as a laborer than the Mexican. In proportion as the colored people are educated everywhere, I repeat that they will become more satisfactory as laborers. "I am glad to see that you are erecting new school buildings for the housing of the colored children in this city, and I am sure that our people appreciate everything that is done for them in this regard. To my own race in this county, however, I want to suggest that it is most important that a large proportion of the colored children be put into the public schools. I find that during the past school year while $8 per cent. of the white children in the county attended public schools, only 7 per cent. of the colored children in the county attended any public school. This means ignorance and ignorance means crime and crime means not only inefficiency, but it means in the last analysis a heavy load for the community and the state to carry. It is cheaper to educate than it is to punish. "The main point which I want to urge upon my colored hearers is this: Beginning from tonight. I want to urge that every member of our race begin to save a larger proportion of what he earns. Too much in the past we have squandered our earnings, it has been thrown away for things which we could have done without. In many cases we have worked hard all the week and then in a few minutes on Saturday night the last dollar has been squandered. So long as we have the reputation of being a race of spendthrifts, so long will our entire race be hindered in its progress. I want to urge each one of my hearers to exert his influence in helping our people start a bank account. Start a bank account in a white bank or in a colored bank; or if this is not desirable, invest money in property. The man who gets a start with a little money in the bank or in property ceases for the most part to become a criminal, he ceases to throw away his money for whisky and in gambling, and such an individual is very rarely charged, with any kind of crime by the public authorities. "I cannot forbear to congratulate the colored people in Birmingham upon the progress that they are making. There are members of my race in Birmingham who-by reason of their ownership in property, their intelligence, their high character and business success would do credit to any race, and I-congratulate the white people of Birmingham upon the fact that for the most part friendly re- tions exist between white people and black people in this community. One of our difficulties throughout the south grow out of the fact that the outside world hears of the worst things that take place between colored people and white people in the south; the outside world rarely hears of the friendly relations that exist between black people and white people. Getting down to bed rock, I find that the individual relations between black and white people are closer here in the south than between black people and white people anywhere in the world, and you can't find a portion of the civilized or uncivilized world where there are so many black people living side by side with so many white people where the relations, all things considered, are so happy and friendly as they are in our southern states. "There is nothing over which to be discouraged. If we go forward doing our whole duty in the communities in which we live, in the long run all will be well." MISSIONARY JUBILEE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN WHITE WOMEN ADDRESS NEGROES AT CHARLESTON BISHOP GUERRY PRESIDES INTEREST IN RELIGIOUS FORWARD MOVEMENT. Charleston, S. C.—In connection with the golden jubilee, celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of organized women's work for foreign missions, a largely attended mass meeting of colored people was held at Mt. Zlon A. M. E. church. Rt. Rev. William A. Guerry, D. D., Episcopal bishop of South Carolina, presided and the meeting was addressed by the missionaries and mission workers who are making the tour of the south in the interest of the Golden Missionary jubilee. Rev. Abraham Lincoln De Mound introduced Bishop Guerry in a brief but pointed address that brought forth applause from the large audience. He spoke of the progress of the past 50 years, the noble work of women in the mission fields, and expressed the gratitude of the colored people for the interest Bishop Guerry had taken in their welfare. Bishop Guery told of his lifelong friendship for the colored people, but said that he welcomed the day that finds the black man in larger and larger measure bearing his own burden. He said that as the Chinese were being Christianized by Chinese, so negroes must be evangelized by negroes. The missionary speakers for the evening were Mrs. W. Eugene Sallee, a native of Texas, who has just returned from mission work in the interior of China; Mrs. Henry W. Peabody of Massachusetts, who has spent many years as a missionary in India, and Miss Daisy Davies, field secretary of the Woman's Missionary council of the Methodist Episcopal church, south. Miss Davies moved the audience to applause when she exclaimed: "If I had all the money that Barnum & Balley's circus will take out of the southland this year I would build a hundred schools and send missionaries to the foreign field." The colored men of Charleston are co-operating in the Men and Religion Forward Movement campaign. An enthusiastic meeting of colored men was held at Mc.Zlon church. Able addresses were delivered by R. H. King and Dr. A. R.-Miller. The colored committee of one hundred was organized with the following officers: Chairman, Rev. N. B. Sterritt, D. D.; first vice-chairman, Rev A L. DeMund, D. D.; second vice-chairman, Rev M. M. Mouzon, D. D.; third vice-president, Rev S. D. Thomas, D. D.; recording secretary, R. S. Lawrence; treasurer; W. R Campbell; corresponding secretary, Rev C. F. Gandy, D. D. CAPTAIN PROBABLY ADMITTED IT The skipper was a man who had a good opinion of himself and his notions. He had pulled through shipwreck, mutiny and other perils of the deep, but he came a cropper once. For one of his voyages he had shipped a boatwain's mate who bore something of a reputation. One day the skipper ordered him aloft to examine a sail on the royal yard. "Tain't safe, cap'n!" protested the boatwain's mate; "the foot ropes has got to be fixed first." "Do as I tell you!" thundered the captain. "The foot ropes are all right. I know they are." The man went up. Five minutes later he came tumbling down through the rigging from the top of the mast, a distance of over 100 feet. With a bang he landed on the belly of the mainsail and bounded into one of the canvas covered boats. The sailors, thinking him dead, crowded about him in a circle. To their amazement he sat up. His eyes wandered vacantly about until they rested on the leathery face of the skipped when they lighted up with intelligence. "Cap'n," he said slowly; "you was mistaken about them foot ropes."—Tib Bits, London. EDUCATION. "Fifth grade this year, Tommy?" "Yes, sir." "You're in decimals or fractions now, no doubt?"

A NIGHT ADVENTURE HARROWING EXPERIENCES OF LOVE-SMITTEN NEGRO COLLEGE BOY—A SHORT STORY WRITTEN FOR SOUTHERN LIFE MAGAZINE BY WILSON CARR LOWERY. The following is the story of a rather peculiar adventure had by a student at one of our proximate colleges dent at one of our prominent colleges. This school is situated in a small town in one of the south Atlantic or southern states—a town so small, in fact, that besides the university above spoken of, there is but little to it. The outlying rural districts being fairly well populated, it was not an unusual thing for some of the male students to stroll out within a radius of two or three miles, in the afternoon, when there was not a great deal to be done. It was during one of these atrots that our friend (whom we shall call Jackson), experienced the first of the events leading up to the strange adventure we are about to chronicle. One afternoon, in company with several of his fellows as was their wont, he was wandering along the public road that led through the most thickly settled portion of the country. The road being rather narrow, when they had gotten about a mile and a half from the campus, they were compelled to step aside to let a wagon pass. On the front seat of the wagon, to which he hitched a fine, sleek mule, was a fairly intelligent-looking colored man of the "hayseed" type, who was driving. Beside him sat a buxom woman — evidently his wife—with a benign smile upon his shiny face; her rotund form encased in a loud-colored calico dress. Behind these two, resting carelessly in a common house-chair, sat one of the most beautiful young colored women whom it had been our friend's pleasure to see. She was of that Indian-colored dark-eyed, dark-haired type about whom men rave. The frosty air—for it was early winter—had brought to her cheeks the ruddy flush of health. Her eyes sparkled; her raven hair hung in two braids down her back and swung coquettish with the motion of the wagon over rough places. Although she had a gaily-colored quilt-laprobeucked closely about her, there was an unmistakable suggestion of beauty of form as well as face. The young men who had stepped aside to let the vehicle pass gazed in wonderment at this ideally beautiful young creature. In answer to the "Howdy" of the jovial farmer and his genial helpmeet the young gallants all politely raised their hats. The young lady in the rear of the wagon smiled sweetly and gracefully acknowledged their salutation by a marked inclination of her head. After various comments, while the wagon was a mere speck on the horizon—as to who the young lady could be—the incident was thought to be closed. But, if the other fellows had forgotten the occurrence, Jackson had not. The young woman's seductive beauty had made a marked impression upon the hero of this tale. For several days' he thought and dreamed of this meteor, as it were, which had come within his range of vision and as suddenly disappeared again. Some weeks after this, Jackson was invited out into the country, a few miles, to take Christmas dinner with some friends of his whom he had met through one of the instructors. He dressed himself in his best and took his departure. After having spent a most enjoyable afternoon, he started, a little after dusk, on his way back to the campus. The moon was just rising, and her soft radiance illuminated the dreary wastes of dead foliage and the fruitless frost-covered fields, making it seem even more lonely. Our friend trudged hurriedly along the road glancing from right to left and quaking for fear at the sound of his own footsteps, and as he walked his thoughts of the pleasant afternoon that he had spent were not unmixed with the usual conjecture as to the whereabouts of his fair inamorita. As he would come within sight of an occasional human habitat his heart would beat lighter and his step would become more elastic. The weather, though fair all day, had been somewhat hazy, and the mist which hung heavy all the afternoon had now begun to grow thicker. Light, snowy clouds began to form, and there was every indication of bad weather. Our friend was traversing a section of road with which he was not very familiar, and he became suddenly aware of the fact that he was lost. Believing that he saw a dwelling house in the dim distance he hastened on. On reaching the farmhouse he knocked and was admitted by—the farmer whom he had seen driving the fair one. His heart almost stopped beating as he recognized the old man. There in front of the fire sat the queen of his visions. Her nymphlike form was hidden by a beautiful Japanese kimono. Her hair was done up in "papers;" two children were playing on the floor by her side; and she was reading a book, seemingly undisturbed by the doleful tunes of "Way Over in the New Burying Ground," which came from a chesty female voice in the kitchen. As Mr. Jackson came within the circle of firelight, the gloom which was enhanced by the feeble efforts of a smoky tin lamp, the young lady looked up and gave him a slight nod of recognition; then resumed her book. Our friend explained to the gentleman of the house the predicament in which he found himself, and asked to be directed to the nearest way by which he might reach the public road with which he was familiar. Upon hearing that he was a student, Miss-Dotterer, as her name was found to be, looked up and seemed interested. The farmer introduced them, and to his surprise, Jackson found that Miss Dotterer was from his own state and had relatives in his own town. A friendly feeling at once sprung up between them. As the evening was yet young, Jackson was invited to be seated; the host assuring him that he would personally see our friend to the road. The evening passed most pleasantly. When the time came to retire Jackson bade the ladies good night and was invited to call again. The farmer walked with him to the fork of the road where he could find his way without difficulty and Jackson went on his way. Pleasant were the reveries in which he indulged, and not the least of his thoughts was about the, pretty school teacher whom he had lately met. As he approached a small house which he was compelled to pass, he was horrified to hear plaintive groans and cries issue therefrom. His first impulse was to pass the place in a hurry and reach the campus as soon as possible. But his manly instinct prevailed, and he turned out of the road and went up to the house, thinking to be of assistance to anyone whom he might find in distress. A mongrel hound, aroused from his lethargy, crept around the house, and raised his nose to the heavens, rid his consumptive thorax of a long-drawn howl. The door opened and a grusu voice demanded: "What do you want?" "N-n-nothing, sir," replied our brave student, his knees spitefully smiling each other. "Nothing? Then what did you come here for?" the voice demanded. "I only wanted a match." "Come here?" the voice commanded. Jackson could see the brawny form of a dark-skinned man silhouetted against the flickering firelight from the inside. "Come here!" imperatively repeated the voice. "I want to show you something." Mr. Joseph Jackson managed to muster up courage enough to approach the door. The groans had ceased, and as he came within the light which shown through the door his blood ran cold; for there on the floor lay the outstretched form of a woman. A large amudge on her 'temple' and a pool of dark fluid in which she was lying told the tale too well. She had been murdered. "See here. What is your name?" "I am Mr. Jackson, air. I am a student up here. I am just coming back from a Christmas dinner." All this information was vouchsafed by our quaking friend. "Well, Mr. Jackson, this was my wife. She was untrue to me, so I have put her out of the way. Now, my name is Jones. If you ever tell what you have seen and beard tonight, I shall kill you. You may go." It did not take Jackson long to put the house far behind him. He was glad to get away from such unpleasant scenes. After having gone some distance at the top of his speed, he mustered nerve enough to stop and look back. To his horror he saw that the house was enveloped in flames. He promptly took to his heels again. He had not gone far, however, when he became aware that he was being rudely pursued by some one on horseback. Being thoroughly exhausted he tried to hide in some underbrush on the side of the road. But he was a minute too late; the rider drew rein and ordered him to come forth. Trembling like a leaf, Mr. Jackson, the lion-hearted, crawled out of his hiding place. "What did you set my house on fire for?" said a voice which he did not recognize. "I d-didn't set it, sir," protested our friend. "Then what were you running so for? I know what the trouble is," went on the voice, "it is a plot between you and the niggers who have been living in my house." Jackson then became convinced that it was the white property-owner who was his accuser. "Those niggers moved out because I pushed them for the rent, and got you to burn my house down. You can say your prayers, for I am going to kill you." "Then you will have to kill me, sir; but I declare I don't know anything about it. I was just running to keep warm." Jackson had resolved to die a martyr for one of his race who was possibly guilty of justifiable homicide. A loud laugh greeted this declaration. "Jackson," said the voice of the man whom he had seen in the door of the ill-fated hut. "I merely tried this trick to test you, and you have won my lifelong friendship and admiration. Now, you had better go; for the countryside is aroused, and you may not be able to give a satisfactory account of your presence here." "Good-by." By that time people could be seen silhouetted against the glare of the burning house, and some of them had heard the sound of the horse's hoofs and were coming rapidly in their direction. The horseman disappeared in a clump of woods to the right and the people were rapidly pursuing Jackson, yelling: "Stop him, catch him." Jackson reached the campus a safe distance ahead of his pursuers, hastened to his room and jumped into bed. The sound of scurrying footsteps were heard in the building. His pursuers were coming upstairs. And then— Jackson awoke. It was all a nightmare. Our friend hrd eaten too heavy a supper the night before, and during all these horrible happenings, was safely tucked in his bed.- The footsteps he heard, only the noise made by the students hurrying down to breakfast See Cooper & Odrizen The Up-to-Date Tailors 218 WEST BROAD STREET, BETWEEN HULL AND OGLETHORPE AVE.

The Following Article Appeared and Was Given Prominence in an Issue of 19th Ult., of a Newspaper Published Thrice a Week in a Town of About 6,000 People In One of the European Countries Whence Emigration to America, Particularly to the East Central States and West Central States, Has Been Large. (Translation.) "The NEGRO IN U. S. A. "He works two days of the week in order to be able to loaf the other five, ducks into a saloon and hangs around till night and slabbers up greedily the leavings in the 'glasses left by the whites. Treated to a drink he takes the glass in silence and with a grin, treated to ten drinks he will continue drinking with the same phlegmatism and same grin. And everything goes in him equally well; whisky and lemonade, soda water and bitters. "The negro youth, who after attendance at school, gets into an office to sweep, wash windows and the like, retains most assuredly twenty years later the same job, and has to hold the same position without possibility of being anything better until he dies—or gets into slavery. Into such fall many of the 'colored gentlemen'—in the north; in the south they do not even get so far, often no farther than the nearest telegraph pole. And their crimes consist mostly of theft, assassination and attacks on the whites, and to these latter offenses both parties are at fault. "Noticing the thousands of colored people one meets in an American city, it strikes one how different are their physiognomies in spite of their negro likeness. There are all variegations of colors from coal black to light cream yellow, yes, nearly white. "The negro has all the attributes of a child; done a favor he never forgets it; but on the other hand, he remembers a wrong all his life. He is vain to a high order—something his clothes bear witness to. "When dentists some years ago commenced filling teeth with gold, crowds of blacks rushed to get the costly metal in their mouth, yes, almost innumerable were the negroes of both sexes, who had good teeth pulled to be replaced by gold ones. Then the thick lips were never closed. The negro smile, moreover, extends from ear to ear and he smiles and laughs at everything "His station in the community is not imposing. It is all of a kind that requires no knowledge and no responsibility; drivers, carriers, scavenger work and the like. One or another has been fortunate enough to become physician, lawyer or preacher and are then citizens—that is to say, have a right to vote; that right, however, most of them sell to the highest bidder. "The negro in U. S. A. is an outcast. In the southern states he is not permitted even to enter a public restaurant, but will nicely keep to the places designated for negroes and on the railroads are separate coaches for him. And the blacks do not seek to improve their condition—ordinarily, at least. No, he seeks his good corn cob pipe, sings his negro songs, and lets the world slide along." The language employed and the wrong of inciting prejudice and hatred by such misrepresentation of facts (there being no foundation for anything but the allusion of Jim Crow cars and to restaurants catering exclusively to whites) is not creditable to the press of a country priding itself of its traditions, its line of kings, its schools and barely one per cent. illiteracy. History records no parallel of the progress and advancements of any people or race to that of our own, in four decades, and we have but just bown—Illinois Chronicle. NOT SO BAD. A couple of old salts met after a long absence, and the following animated conversation ensued: "Well, old man, how are you gettin' on?" "First rate. I have taken a wife." "Very sensible idea." "Not a bit of it; she's a regular tartar." "Then I'm sorry for you, mate." "There's no need; she brought me a big ship as her marriage portion." "Then you made a good bargain, after all." "Nothing to boast of, I can tell you. The ship turned out a worthless old tinder box." "Bah! You can speak as much as you like. The old tub was well insured, and went down on her first voyage." "So you got the pull there, anyhow?" "Not so much, mate. I only got twenty-five hundred dollars out of he job as my share." "That was too bad!" "Too bad? Nothing of the sort! Wife was on board and went down with the rest." SPEAKING OF WILLIE. Papa and mamna and son Willie were crossing the ocean. Willie had done something for which his mother thought he needed correction, but not feeling equal to the occasion she urned to her husband. "John," she said, "can't you speak o Willie?"

Among the great natural resources of the United States, our native nut-bearing trees occupy a place of no mean importance; but they have been treated like other natural resources of the country-exploited, wasted and destroyed until the outcome is getting to be alarming. Our fertile lands have been robbed of their productivity by the one-crop system; the forests have been cut down for the best timber and no provision made for a future supply. The walnut, the chestnut and the hickory, also the pecan have fallen before the woodman's ax, with their fellows, the elm, ash and oak—in the effort to make room for more grain crops, cotton and tobacco. Thousands of acres of valuable timber and nut trees have been destroyed in this manner, in many cases it will be generations before the average yield per acre will again attain unto that which was destroyed. But it is too late to grieve over the errors of the past, but it is not too late to quit the wasteful habits, to begin to repair the damage done and save and improve that which is left. The black walnut, the most valuable tree in the world for its timber, which is used in the manufacture of the finest furniture and cabinet making, bears a large, olly nut of fine flavor which finds a ready sale at a fair price. The shell-bark hickory is another native tree of sturdy and lofty growth, the wood of which, on account of its great strength and elasticity is highly prized for the manufacture of agricultural implements and is unsurpassed for fuel. The American sweet chestnut, the butternut and the pecan are all trees of fast growth and are valuable for both timber and nuts. Our native nuts have already made a respectable beginning in forming the body of various food products whose marketable value is growing rapidly—such as butter, oils, confections and concentrated food stuffs that are meeting an increased demand. There is no diet more nutritious and easier to digest than our native nuts. There are thousands of farmers who have no nut trees of their own but whose land is highly suitable for the growing of these trees. Such farmers should plant a few nut trees, such as are adaptable to their climate and soil, every year, and not be deterred from planting on the grounds that they would have to wait so long for results. The planting of nut trees is elevating, profitable and pleasing and in harmony with the laws of nature. The planting, propagating and growing of nut trees has a great future before it, owing to the natural adaptability and the rapidly increasing demand for nuts to use in the various food products. FRUIT AND ORCHARD. It is good practice to graft plums on peach stock. If you intend to plant a new orchard, buy the trees which are best adapted to your climate and soil. Consult with the orchardist of your state experiment station. Lemon and orange growers have learned that it is best to wash and wire them before packing to prevent the spread of rot fungi. In washing only running water should be used because if washed in water that has been used they will absorb the microbe organisms of disease. Fruit should never be offered for sale that is exposed to files. When a customer sees files—which may have just arrived from dining off a dead animal or from a manure pile—crawling around over the fruit in the store, she is not likely to buy it. A customer who observes that the fruit is carefully assorted and put up in clean packages will naturally want to know the name of the grower and that is where the stencil and rubber stamp come in BIG STRAWBERRIES. A strawberry grower who has succeeded in producing a berry which weighed four and three-fourths ounces says he never saw a big berry picked from a spring-set plant. He says that in the art of growing berries long experience is what counts. He advises placing a thin mulch around the plant and watering through this. Mosquito netting should be placed over the plant for shade, and something thicker over the berry itself to shield from sun, rain, birds and insects. This grower, after long experience, rejects a deep, loose soil. His prize berries are grown on hard, shallow soil. ECONOMY OF THE SEPARATOR No up to date farmer will be without a hand separator, and the skimilk, when improved in quality by the addition of some concentrated food, is solving the problem of raising good dairy stock on the farm. In addition to turning every ounce of fat in the milk into butter. GROWING PEANUTS. Any soil that will raise good corn will raise peanuts, but the best results are obtained from light, sandy soils. If planted in heavy soils the nuts are sometimes stunted. Peanuts should not be planted on the same soil year after year but should be used in rotation. It is better to manure the land in the fall and plow it with a disk and harrow thoroughly the next spring. Make the seed bed as fine as a garden bed. Plant the seeds in rows about two and one-half feet apart. With a small turning plow throw up two furrows and mudge as you would to plant sweet potatoes. After the ridges are thrown up go over them with the weeder or scraper fastened to the back teeth of the cultivator. The seed should be dropped about eight inches apart and two seeds in a place and two inches deep. The ridges should then be brushed down and the seeds covered by drawing the earth over them about a foot. Cultivation should begin before the plants are up to keep out the weeds and the field must be kept absolutely clean. Cultivate as close as possible but be careful not to destroy the roots or the forming peanuts. The ridges should be kept two or three inches high and the soil must always be loose because as soon as the plants are in full bloom the buds begin to form the nut in the loose soil. They are harvested by means of forks, the plants being lifted out of the ground and the dirt taken from the goobers and the vines thrown in a heap. Five or six rows can be placed in one winrow. The vines are then shocked around a pole thrust into the ground and cross pieces should be nailed to the poles and the vines piled up lightly to provide circulation of air. Boards or straw should be laid on the ground so that the vines should not touch the soil. The nuts must be allowed to sit in the shock until thoroughly cured. They can be then taken to the barn where the nuts are picked by hand or they can be picked in the field if the weather is fine. There are machines for threshing peanuts but these are not used except when large crops are grown. Peanuts are easy to grow and make a profitable crop. They are sold mostly to roasters who prepare them for eating, although a large amount of peanut oil is made every year as a substitute for olive oil. Peanut butter is also coming into favor and large quantities of nuts are sold for this purpose. THE HIRED MAN'S HOUSE. Every farm where hired help is employed by the year should have good, comfortable quarters for the help. It is time we began to reform our habit of housing our farm help. One of the reasons why laboring men prefer to live in the city is because they cannot find comfortable houses in; the country. How many dairy farmers who are complaining about the scarcity of good help provide as good a, house for their help as they do for their cows? Can we blame a self-respecting laboring man for not moving his family into a hovel? The American farm laborer is a human being and he should be shown as much respect as a priz Joersey, to say the least. How many neat and attractive cottages suitable for an American laboring man are there vacant in your neighborhood? Any good man who is worth hiring by the year is worthy of a good, comfortable house for himself and family. If we keep good help we must treat them right. Men who have no homes go to the most cheerful places they can find and I am sorry to confess it is not always in a hovel behind a big red barn. The better the house and surroundings you furnish, within limits, the better class of men you will be able to hire. THE MAN. AND THE COW. Udder troubles are frequently the result of bad feeding. Sunlight and pleasant surroundings are great factors in stimulating large milk yields. The cow should be fed so that she will produce a full flow of milk and maintain practically the same flesh conditions. The high producing dairy cow is an animal that follows in the wake of civilization. She never goes ahead. Conditions must be suitable before she can be of any value to the farmer The cow should have a capacity to produce more milk than she is called upon to produce in ordinary dairy work. SUNFLOWERS USEFUL. Sunflowers are attractive, and a place is always more homelike when they are planted in abundance near it. Sunflowers give dignity and charm to the farmstead, and their presence denote taste and culture of the homemaker. The seed makes good poultry feed.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1911 Just what can be done by a live, energetic, progressive pastor was plainly demonstrated last week in the very creditable anniversary exercises held in one of our churches. Among the distinguished participants on the program were the Mayor, City Attorney, the Superintendent of Education, President of the Board of Education and many well-known Negro men and women. And this was accomplished by a man who completed his first year's residence in this city but a few days ago. The biggest gala week in the history of the city begins on Monday with the Vanderbilt automobile races and ends on Thanksgiving day with the Grand Prize race. Interspersed between these will be aviation contests and a football game. A full week of excitement will be afforded the people and thousands of strangers will be in the city. It will be the greatest advertisement our city has ever had, for the results of these contests, especially the automobile races which are international in character, will be heralded all over the world. "It is up to all the citizens of Savannah to assist the authorities in making these contests a success and every one of us should do his utmost to help make these festivities a credit to our city. Every loyal voter should prepare himself, and early on the morning of the sixth of December, the polls should be crowded with them casting their votes in favor of the bond issue. The success of this bond issue means much especially to our people. Not only will it benefit the health of a large number of us now living in districts that need this drainage, but it will give employment to hundreds of our laborers. And not only that, it will be benefitting the city. As colored citizens, we should be fully interested in things that tend for the benefit of Savannah. Let your thoughts be for bond and let your vote early on the morning of Dec. 6, be for the same cause. We particularly commend the stand taken by the Savannah daily papers in the matter of lawlessness which is manifesting itself so widely throughout the south. The following is a clipping from the editorial page of the Morning News which calls for hearty approval: "The last card seems to have been played in the case of Henry Clay Beatie, Jr., who has been convicted in Virginia of the murder of his wife. The case was one of the most remarkable in the "Old Dominion" for many years, on account of the wealth and prominence of the parties to it. A stubborn fight was made for the young man's life. He lacked nothing that could have been supplied to him in the way of financial backing or legal talent. But the facts pointed too strongly to his guilt as charged wherefore he was convicted; and the Governor says the extreme penalty of the law must be carried out. That is the sort of administration that makes law respected. It is too often the case that a man—a white man—with money, can come pretty nearly to do anything he pleases and "getting away with it." There is no use blinking the truth, and that is the truth. The Negro comes mighty near to getting justice. When he commits a crime he is punished. But the white man oftener than not fails of getting what is coming to him by rights. We need in this part of the country a stricter enforcement of criminal law against the white man, and no let up in the enforcement of the law against the Negro." The health condition of this city prior to the time of the installing of the present house drainage system, is well-known by many of the citizens. Typhoid, malaria, and other epidemics were prevalent. During that period the growth and progress of the city were dwarfed. Immediately after the installing of the house drainage, the health condition was wonderfully improved and to-day Savannah stands in a class to itself for good health in comparison with other cities of its size. Not only was the health condition improv- cd, but progress marched in its wake, and this much is known by all of us. As the city grows larger, the need for an extension of sewers becomes more apparent in order to protect the health not only of the people in the present radius of the house drainage but those in the extreme eastern, southern and western sections. For this improvement an election will be held on Wednesday December 6th, to authorize the issuing of bonds. The spending of this money for this great improvement will be under the control of a non-partisan commission composed of some of our foremost citizens, thus assuring honest manipulations in its expenditure. Second Baptist Church Anniversary Great Success-Exercise Most Commendable Judge Adams' Encouraging Talk Probably the most notable and commendable exercises held for this city for many years were the anniversary exercises of the Second Baptist Church during last week, when the first year's work in this city, of Rev. D Augustine Reid was celebrated. Throughout the week the festivities were in progress, but the nights of special interest were those of Thursday and Friday. On Thursday night Mayor Tiedeman and City Attorney, H E. Wilson were present and spoke. This was known as Negro Business night, but only a very few of the Negro business concerns of the city were represented or mentioned. The final meeting on Friday night known as Educational night was the most thoroughly enjoyed. The program was the most interesting of any during the week, the principal address being delivered by Judge S B. Adams. His remarks were the most encouraging, cheering and inspiring heard by our people from a member of his race for many a day. It was a frank discussion of the problems that confront the Negroes in Savannah. He condemned in strong terms the advantages which at times were taken of the Negroes by members of his race. He deplored the lack of educational facilities for Negro children in Savannah and decried the wholesale denunciation of our people. On the other hand, he commended the Negroes for the rapid strides they have made told of the surprise which greeted him when he learned of there being twenty two hundred Negro depositors in one white banking institution of the city and exhorted them to continue on their upward march. Among the other speakers on the program were Superintendent of public schools, Mr. Otis Ashmore and many members of the race. South-Ga. Conference of the C. M. E. Church. The Thirty Third Annual Session of the South Georgia Conference of Colored Methodist Episcopal churches' in America will convene at St. Paul C. M. E.

The 20th Annual Convention of Congregational Churches of Georgia, McKin Atlanta. Georgia Metin Aldanta. The 20th Annual Session of the General Convention of the Congregational churches of Georgia convened with the First Congregational church in Atlanta, Rev. H. H. Proctor, pastor. The welcome address was delivered by Dr. M. W. Adams of Atlanta University. The session was a very interesting and profitable one. The Annual Sermon was preached by Rev. W. H. Holloway of Talledega College, Talledega, Ala., formerly pastor of Thomasville. The following themes were discussed by appointed speakers, viz., "The Self-Support of the Churches." "The New Day for World-Wide Missions," "Conditions as they are in the Country Districts of Georgia" and "Modern Church Methods." The Convention sermon was preached on Sunday by Rev. Dr. Geo. W. Moore of Nashville, Teunn, Superintendent of churches. Two new ministers were admitted to the fellowship of the churches of the State, Rev. Jas. M. Morse of Selma, Ala., who has been elected pastor of First church at Macon and Rev. H. S. Barnwell of Lake Charles, La., who is to succeed Rev. W. H. Holloway at Thomasville. The pastor and delegates made encouraging reports of the signs of the work in the respective churches and fields of labor. The reports were excellent and showed substantial progress along both spiritual and financial lines. Rev. H. H. Proctor, D. D., was re-elected Moderator of the Convention. The Women's Home Missionary Union held its annual session in connection with the State meeting. The Session was well attended and the delegates reported progress in the work of the societies of the Union. The Congregational Sunday School and Y. P. S. C. E. Convention was held on Friday night and Saturday in connection with the State Convention. The attendance from the Sunday School and societies were larger than ever before.

Clark of Athens was re-elected President of the Convention and Miss Ella McIntosh of Savannah was elected Secretary. The next Session will be held with the First church, of Savannah and Rev. H. S.

Editor of The Savannah Tribune: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to reply to the letter written by M. C. Parker of Blackshear, Ga., dated Nov. 12, 1911. I do not understand what he meant by a square deal. We did not endorse Mr. Clark Grier for Chairmanship for the State Central Committee. Neither did we endorse him for National Committeeman. My friend Parker made an error. L. W. Brown of Scriven, Ga., was Secretary of the meeting, and the minutes will bear out the fact. I do not understand Mr. Parker. I stand ready to meet the situation from start to finish and I am somewhat surprised at my friend Parker. I only ask him to state facts. Mr. Parker is trying to cross the bridge before he gets to it. But we will be there with plenty of powder to blow up the bridge and if he is near he will feel the effects of it. I refer to Dr. G. P. Washington, Rev. W. H. Cobb and George Bryant; Pearson, Ga. He stated in his letter that it was a Negro meeting, Mr. J. M. Sulon of Adel, Ga., white Ex-Post Master of Ways Ga., one from Nashville Ga., one from Pearson, Ga., were present at the meeting. My friend Mack was just from Atlanta, Ga., and when he stopped over to the meeting he lost so much rest in Atlanta until I guess it was one of his dreams. We only endorsed Pres. Taff's Administration What occurred in Chicago 1908—it is up to him. I am, Very Respectfully, B. Coffee. Emancipation Association Met In response to notice appearing in The Tribune, the ministers and other disting- uished citizens composing the Emancipa- tion Association met at St. Philip A. M.

The officers of the Sunday school are trying very hard to build up the Sunday school and increase the attendance. F. B, B. Dots, On Sunday morning we were all pleased to listen to a very interesting sermon by Rev. Mitchell Maxwell. The subject was "The Saints Asylum." The choir sang "My hope is built." At 7:30 p. m., the B. Y. P. U, rendered the following very entertaining program; duette by Miss E. Singleton and Mr. B. Porter; solo by Miss D. Woodson; discussion of the subject, "Thanksgiving and Prayer." President Johnson and his co-workers are doing a great work. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ps. 1st. His text was from Heb. 10:25. The subject was "The Importance of Public Worship." The sermon was filled with many good advices and beautiful lessons. The choir sang "Let the Gospel Light Shine out." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Did Christ' oer sinners weep." He very forcibly invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat, an exceedingly large crowd bowed. Prayer was offered. President Hope of the Atlanta Baptist College was present and spoke in the interest of the school. Chapel of Immaculate Heart of Mary Harden and 36th Streets Next Sunday, Nov. 26th--Holy Mass will again be celebrated in the little chapel at 10 a. m. and Sunday School will be held in the hall.

The Catholics of the surrounding districts and their friends are requested to attend. The admission will be free. After the lecture, public night prayers will be held in the little chapel in the school.

First mass at 7 a.m. High mass and sermon at 10:30 a.m. Sunday school at 4 p.m. m, rosary, sermon and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at 8 p.m. The gospel of the day is the striking description of the last judgment, which is taken from the gospel of St. Matthew chapter 24. In the sermon at the high mass this great subject will be treated. The monthly meeting of the Catholic Mutual Aid Society will take place on Sunday afternoon. The December issue of St. Benedict's Messenger will be distributed after the services; it contains very interesting reading matter. The Forty Hours' Devotions were celebrated with great solemnity on last Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The imposing procession at the opening and at the blessing was a beautiful sight. The eloquent sermons preached by visiting Priests made a deep impression on the large congregations that attended the evening services. The festival given for the benefit of the church on last Thursday was enjoyed by the members and their friends. Rev. Singleton preached on last Sunday at at 11 a. m. and Rev. S. H. Holton at 8:15 p. m. Rev. Singleton's discourse was on "Character." We are only too sorry that there were not more out to hear him. Rev. Holton also preached an interesting sermon.

On tomorrow, Sun Jay night there will be a literary program rendered at St. Philips at 8:15 under the auspices of the Missionary Society of St. Philip. Tomorrow is Dollar Money Rally day. Every member that has not paid his dollar is expected to do so as the conference will convene on December 6th. The following services will be held on tomorrow : prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m., preaching at 11 a. m., Sunday school at 3 p. m., preaching at 8:15 p. m. Strangers are cordially invited. Quite an enjoyable day was spent at Monumental Sunday, the Holy Spirit was in the church from early sunrise prayer meeting until the last services at night. Sunday school at 9:30 a. m., was crowded to its utmost capacity. The collection was grand, the lesson was reviewed by the superintendent and pastor. At 11 o'clock a. m., the pastor preached an able and beautifully illustrated sermon to the Juvenile Auxiliary Branch No. 2. The sermon was so well pictured that even the smallest child in the society could understand it. At 8 o'clock p. m., the pastor again preached an able and interesting sermon which was enjoyed by all. Class meeting Tuesday night was crowded, the pastor seems to be proud of his attendance at these meetings which is the chief service of his members. Following additions have been made: new lights, fresh painting, kalsomning, new roof, new pows in the basement, marble tablets in the wall. Dollar money has been raised, general conference claims, contingent money and the pastors conference claims are enough to keep us on the move. Next week's issue will bring us to the conference and the details of all work done by the pastor since he has been with us will be published. Services tomorrow 5:30 a. m., prayer meeting; 9:30 a. m., Sunday school; 11 a. m., preaching; 3:30 p. m., general class meeting; 8 p. m., preaching. The sermon at eleven o'clock a. m., will be memorial. First African Baptist Church Those who attended the services at the First African Baptist church on last Sunday were highly benefited by an interesting talk on "The Mission Field in Africa" by the Rev. R. H. Jackson, D. D., a thorough and rite Missionary. His sermon at the morning service from 1st Corinthians 2.9, subject, "God's provision for His People" and at the evening service from 126 Psalm 3rd verse were both edifying and instructive. The choir sang very sweetly appropriate selections at the close of each sermon. Many members and friends purchased a photo of his family group and bade him God's speed in the work he is engaged. The pastor returned from the State Baptist Missionary Convention at Brunswick, Ga., and reported that the next session will be held in Savannah Jute 1912. This means a big affair, but since the hospitality of of Savannah has never been outstripped anywhere, the delegates through out the State may look to be well taken care of here. The pastor has organized 'six clubs under the names of the six former pastores of the church to raise money to place and replace memorials in the windows to their hallowed memory. Two to three deacons manage each club, much enthusiasm prevails among the members and it is almost a certainty that the necessary amount will be raised on the Third Sunday in December, the day set for the Rally. The church has lost a dutiful member in the death of Mrs. Lizzie Alston whose funeral took place from the church on last Wednesday afternoon, the pastor, Rev. W. L. Jones officiated. The church extends much sympathy to the bereaved family. The deacons reported much sickness through out their wards at the Conference on Monday night. It is hoped that ere the next Conference all will be restored to health or convalescing. The J. W. Carr club will give an entertainment at the home of Mrs. Amy Deleware 516 Hartridge Street next Monday night for the benefit of the Rally. Admissin 10 cents.

Though we cannot understand the ways of our Heavenly Father, yet we know He is love, and full of mercy and tender compassion. He has in His infinite wisdom seen fit to summon from this scene of earthly labor the wife of our co-worker, Prof. J. M. Roston, to the Haven of rest. We, the Faculty of the Georgia State Industrial College extend to Prof. Roston and his family our profound sympathy in this sore affliction and irreparable loss. The husband has lost a faithful and helpful companion. The children have lost an affectionate and tender mother, whose anxious care and loving ministrations seemed inexhaustible. She never ceased to labor and pray that her children might be in conduct, service and character what God had intended. The community has lost a friend, whose hospitality was sincere and unbounded, whose response to the cry of the poor and needy was unfailing, whose ministrations to the sick and afflicted were unfeigned and untiring. The church has lost a loyal member whose life and conduct were above reproach. A great, good and noble woman has left her relatives and friends on earth to join those in Heaven. We invoke for the bereaved family the comforting presence of our heavenly Father who doeth all things well. A copy of these expressions of sympathy shall be transmitted to the bereaved family and to The Savannah Trihune for publication. The Faculty of the State College.

It many localities where a lack of edu- ational activity fs noticeable, the re sults may be traced to the unsatis- factory surroundings, meager equip ments and Inefficlent forces of the public schools located In their midst. Such circles, already widely spread are increasing yearly; and their baneful influences are exerting them: selves in a marked degree, which proves to be of great detriment to a large portion of the negro common- wealth. Observant eyes, scanning the mental horizon, cannot fall to detect the dark spots creeping upon its borders, threatening to overshad- ‘Ow our intellectual sun by the thick- ness of their mantle. The danger arises not more from the manifest indifference of officia's exercising supervision of the public funds, than the prrarent blindness .on the part of parents who fail to see the ne- cessity of personal sacrifice to enable them, by largely suplementing ihe scanty eppropriation from the public purse, to secure the services of these instructors whose fitness would ele- Yate them and lift the community to hieher grounds. Imbued with false notions as to that which leads to in: dividual importance and determines one’s social status among his fellow- men, the negroes, in no small num: bers, are abject sleves to fashion, whieh has developed unquenchsble desires for finery and dimmed their range of visfon In quest ‘of nobler things, Tence ignorance Is gaining ground where intelligence should rute. Outward appearance is not always a tree test of prosnerity; for extrava- ance 1s the forerunner of poverty To elevate the mind, and beautify the inward man for the reception of noble truths are, to many, after- thoughts whose existence appeals to fancy rather than reality. ‘The spir- St, herein portrayed, {9 not univer- gal, however.

A generous rivalry on all lines ef activity, apracg up: and the re- sources of the various colleges of At- Janta were heavily taxed to meet the existing crave for knowledge. They were cases of necessity; thor- sughners was required in dispensing information; and aniple preparations’ were necessary to meet the demands @f the hour. In every stoge of hu- san action, indifference creers in when Interest takes Its flight; and when our minds become thoroughly adjusted to surrounding cireum- stonces, we eettle down to a state of apathy unmindful of the great dam- 2ges being wrought through the in- finence of incomretency The cheap- est material is often the costliest In the end; and we often lose a dollar in our efforts to seve a dime. A Yutchered mind $n childbood is a @rawback to the individual in matur- er life: and euch is caused by a want of foresight created by igno- rance’and greed. “Let there be light,” sald the Creator in the beginning, and there was lght; but darkness was dispe'led by a Master mind Ig- norance suporting its kind can make ‘no satisfactory report; and Its mis- sion will tend only to render condl- tions more appalling.

And he sald unto them, “Extort no more than that which is appointed you,” ete— Luke, 3:12-14, In St. Luke's story of the work of {John the Baptist we are told that the | multlendes, moved by the stern preach- ing of that uncompromising prophet, | came to him, asking “What, then, janet we do?” For John had demand- ed that as an.ovidence of the sincerity |of those who sought baptism they ibring forth “fruits worthy of repent: ance.” Among the multitudes who thus |came were certain publicans, who jauked, “Teacher, what must we do?” I The answer Izid no stress upon the re- [tigfous observances of the day; it was '& meseage that went straight, to the ‘everyday life, into the region of the sinful, the sordid, the selfish. “Ex: }tort no more than that which is ap- ‘pointed you" was John’s reply. ‘These men had no standing among the Jews; they were a dishonest lot. John there- ‘fore urged upon them plain, everyday honesty; he told them to esalt their disreputable calling, make that their ministry aud consecrate it to God. | And there were soldiers also who ‘came to him, asking, “And we, what ‘must we do?” ‘These soldiers were a ‘hard lot. Their life was fuli of tempta- tion; their very profession was based on wrong. But John told those coarse soldiers to exalt even their profession, difficult as that might seem. “I can't serve God und be a soldier,” I pre- sume ono of them said. “Yes, you con,” said John, “only you must make Your work honest. You saust not do ‘violence to“innocent people, or ac- cuse anyone falsely. You must be con- tent with your wages. They are small enough, bet for all that you must not better yourself at the expense of the innocent.” If, then, publicans and soldiers could caalt cven their lowly professions and coneccrate them to a higher service, plainly it 1s the duty pf every man to regard ‘bis occupation, his calling, bis profersion, as sacred. What we need is a Christianity that enthrones God in the everyday Iife and tn the everyday occupation. We need a seven-day re- ligion, We have made Christianity too much a religion of piety merely on special occasions. The result is that we have a church life whose ac- tivity, whose power, too largely begins and ends in itself. Christianity must 0 beyond the four walls of a mere building, of a mere organization. We necd a Chriatianity of work, a Chris: tianity engaged In gervice, not in mere “services.” “But what gre we expected to do?” you ark, as the multitudes did of Jobn. At once you think of a church office, osqasher, trustee, president of a men's organization, teacher n the Sunday school, etc—all of which is good and necdful, provided we do not stop right there. If that is all we do ‘for the master, Christianity will get nowhere ‘The trouble with so much of our work is that we are just after members— members with-which to build up the organization, members to help bear the financial burden, members to help make a larger statistical showing; and therefore ‘we try to attract them and to allure them Into the church, in- stead of pleading with them to get right with God by repentance and to enlist In the master’s work.

HARD TO GET INTO JAIL. DON'T USE WET FEED. eee church shall serve as a means to an end, but to seek a “human society or: ganized according to the will of God.” ‘The church, then, should be not mere- ly the place for “services,” but the place where we recelve Inspiration for service. It should be the center for 2 ministry to the world, a source of pow- er for good that shall touch and bless and sanctify the varied life about us. The first thing you are expected to do, therefore, if you are to be a true follower of Christ—workman, black- smith, doctor, lawyer, merchant—Is to make your daily occupation a ministry consecrated to God. “My dally occu- pation!” you exclaim. “Why, that {s not a ministry. That Jso’t working for the Lord. That is only the way I make my bread and butter and as much else as I can afford to get. “So that is all you think of your work, your life's work, your daily occupation? You are going to make it entirely secular, worldly, selfish? John the Baptist did not say that even to the publican and soldiers. Let us look into this matter. We will say, for example, you are a groceryman. You go to your store to- morrow morning, and as you begin your day's work you eay to yourself” “t'm in this thing for all I can get out of it. Honesty is the best policy, to be sure; but I must look out for number one. “I had a goed tlme at church yesterday; but thé Golden Rule won't Work today.” Tell me, is this ‘the spirit in which you are going to begin tomorrow's work? It so, you desecrate your labor; you are going to serve Mammon aud not God. But sup- pose you begin your work by com- muning with yourself somewhat efter this fashion: “No, I'm not here sim ply to make money. I am here to do things for other people. My work is a service; it sa ministry. I havo a lot of customers who want groceries. 1 am here to supply their wants and to look after their interests. I am here to see that they get pure, honest goods, and as cheaply as possible, corsistent with a reasonable profit for myself. For I am a church member. ‘That should mean that I am a Chris- tian. That should mean also that 1 am a Christlan merchant—not mere- ly a Christian—so-called—and a merchant. God expects me to be d Christian also to thore whom I employ. I must give them falr wages, for they have a living to make too. But I owe them something more than wages. I must give them thgt frlend- ship which only a Christian employer cen give. There is John, who come from the country to work for me only two months ago. J must be a father to that boy, for he hasn't very many friends. ? He 1s meeting temptations— saloons, bad women and all that. 1 musta’t let him go to the dogs If I can’ help it. If a kind word in the name of the Master Is going to save him, I um the one who must save him.” Now, that is religion, ‘That is Chris- tianity. ‘That fs what God wants you to do first of all. If you don't do it, you can't make up for it on Sunday. Consecrate your occupation and give it to God. Make your occupation a Christian work, a service to humanity, a ministry as sacred as anything on this earth. Christ consecrated his carpentry.

AEBEMAHS PRAYER. Golden Text—"The effectual fetvent prayer of a righteous man avalleth much.” Jes, 5:16. Nehemiah 1. Commit y. 9. Time—444 B.C. Place—Shushan. Exposition.—1, Nehemiah Hears of the Sheme and Distress of His Peo- ple, 1-3. Nebemiah was one of the purest hearted patriots the world has ever known. Born and reared fn a for- eign land, himself a high favorite at the foreign court, with everything In the way of wealth and position that heart could desire, still bis whole thought was for his people in their misfortune and humiliation, trying to rebuild the city of their fathers. The fact that he himself was greatly pros- pered did not content him in the least as Jong as Jerusalem was in dishonor and’his people In distress. The foun- dation of bis patriotism, as the founda- tion of all true and lasting patriotism, was retigious. To him came the fulfill: ‘ment of the promize, “they shall pros- per that love Jerusalem,” (Ps. 12:68). The answer to Nehemiab’s eager question was most disbearten- ing, “The remnant that ae left of the captivity there in the province are in great aMiction and reproach? the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof ere burned with fire.” But all this was in accordance with prophecies mule to the Jews in the days of their prosperity and pride (LK. 9:7; Jer. 24:9; 29:18). 2, Nekemlah’s Prayer, 4-11, The sorrow of his people was his own sor- row. It was no pang of passing symi- pathy, but an overwhelmirg grief that lasted for days. What a lesson for us who are saved ourselves and quite con tent with that; have no deep lasting grief and burden for those who are still unsaved, even for the unsaved of our own household (Rom. 9:1-2; 10:1; Acts 20:31).. Nehemiah’s genuine sor- row for bis people lay at the founda- ton of bis persistent, self-sacrificing. untiring and finally successful effort for their redemption; and if we are to put forth successful efforts for the salvation of the lost today we must first have true heart eorrow for them. Of couree, back of this sorrow for them was love for them; Nehemiah was a.lover of bis people, and tack of his love for them was lore for God. But Nehemiah did not stop with idle mourning and weeping—“and I fasted and prayed before the God of'heaven.” That was the best thing he could do for his people. It Is the best thing we can do for anyone. A godly man can accomplish more by bia prayers than WHAT'S IN A NAME? An investigation of the new direc tory of the city of New York gives a Ust of unusual names, which indicates plainly that the unrighteous prevail in the metropolis. There are two Drinkers, one Drunke, 13 Bums, one Boozer, one Jagge, seven Lushes, five Lushers, 34 Beers, five Lagers, 22 Ports, 42 Sherrys,” two Brandys, four Ginns, one Rickey, 8% Wurzburgers, 94 Glasses, two Tipples, four Wines, two Winegardens, two Wineglaeses, six Bars, 25 Seltzers, 12 Schnapps, three Sours, one Straight, one Mixer, five swallows, one Shaker and 17 Heads. But there are only four Sobers in the whole book. The attention of the advocates of statewide and constitutional prohibl. tion 18 respectfully called to this alarming evidence of depravity in our leading city. As there are only a few Saints and a handful of Monks in the city it fs evident that the Sobers will have very ttle support In attempting to keep thelr good resolutions, and the outlook is that they will fall off the water wagon.—LoulsvillaCourier- Journal. CAUSE OF THE DROUGHT. Remarkable astronomical thoories were expounded in a lecture at Nao- tucket by Edwin Fairfax Naulty of New York. Mr. Naulty declared the remarkable weather of this spring and summer and of tho last three years was due to the presence of a comet In the solar system. “The sun is not a hot body in a state of combustion,” he eald, “but, on the contrary, It Is 8 cold sphere of gaseous and quid matter in a state of violent motion which appears tot only because seen from the carth through the earth's atmosphere, which acts as a huge transformer of cold solar force into lzht and heat precisely as fesistance offered to the passage of an electric current causes Ight and heat.” SWEETENING SOUR SOILS. Limestone Is ‘not considered a fertil- izer in itself. That fs not its function. Its purpose Is to creates favorable con- dition or environment in which the plant food may exist, awaiting con: sumption by the plant, Perhaps all of its funetions are not yet understood, but its most important one—that of sweetening the soil or correcting the acldity—te well known, and thousands of car loads are used each year with immense profits. Its value to agri- tulturo {s so great that you cannot af- ford to delay in informing yourself fully on its use. be can accomplish In any other way fas. 5:16). If Nehemiah had under taken to accomplish something by bis mere efforts without prayer for all bis ipfivence {t would have come to noth- fag. But out of his prayers came dk vinely triumphant efforts (cf. Dan. 9:3,f). Hla prayer was accompanied by fasting. There 1s no virtue In mere- ly going without necessary food, but there is power in that downright earn- estness in prayer and that humiliation. of self and realization of one's utter unworthiness before God that leads one to forego even the necessities of Ife that one may seek God's favor and obtain God's help (ef, Dan. 9:3; Acts 13:2, 3; 14:23). Nebemiah wes doing the very thing that God had biddea them centuries before to do In such an emergency as this (2. Ch. 7:14). The prayer itself is worthy of careful study. It ts a model prayer. (1) The prayer begins with worship, with ador- ing contemplation of the character. Majesty and faithfulness of God. Ne- hemiah encourages his faith by dwell- ing upon who and what God {s as re- vealed in his word (Deut, 7:21; Ex. 20:6; cf, Deu, 7:9; ef, Dan. 9:4; 1 K. §-23), No mere Idle, thoughtless tak- Ing the name of the Delty upon the lips. Note carefully the cheracter of God as here set forth and for whom It Is he “kggpeth covenant” (cf. Jno. 4:21, 28; 15:14), (2) The prayer was rersistent, “day and night” (cf. Luke 2:37; 18:7; 1 Tim, 5:5; 2 Tim. 1:3). @ It was accompanied with confes- ‘sion of gin (cf, Ezra 9:6, 7; Ps. 02:5; Dan. 9:4, 20, ff; 1 Jno, 1:9). The con- fession was definite and Nehemiah Ie- cluded himself among the sinnners against God (cf. Isa. 6:5; Dan 9:5, 6). ‘The confession was thorough going, “very corrupt.” When anyone sces the real,character of his conduct be- fore God he will regard it as “very_cor- rupt.” (4) The prayer is built upon God's own word of promise (vs. 8, 95 cf, Lev. 26:39-42; Deu. 4229-31; 30:25; Jer. 31:1012, 37; Exek. 26:24) The man who would pray with power should study the promises of God and then plead them in his prayers to Goa (John 15:7). The word of God con- cerning the scattering of Israel if they transgressed had been fulfilled to the letter (Lev, 26:33; Deu. 4225-27; 28.C4), and so Nebemiah might be sure that the word of God concerning thelr restoration, if they repented would be fulfilled to the letter. Nebe- mian called upon God to remember his word, that he always does. (5) The prayer appealed to the fact of the rela- tion of the Jews to God—"these ave, thy eervants and thy people” (cf Ex. 32:11), and to the fact of ‘what God liad already done for thein, “redeemed” them. In our prayers to God we have 2 right to plead our relationship to bim —ne are bis children—anti our posi- tion as redeemed in Christ. ‘This wo do by praying in the name of -brist. Nehemlah’s specific petition was fer favor before the king. This prayer was granted,(ch, 2:8). We can always obtain favor before man by appealing to God for it (Prov. 21:1). (6) The prayer was earnest. Note the repetl- tion “I beseech thee.” _ GOOD BUTTER MAKING. Dairy work is no longer guess work, but aclence. Simple, it fs true, but all the same sclence.

Wonderful metal brocades have had a great showing among the model costumes that have been prepared and duplicated many times for the English coronation ceremonies. These very expensive materials have registered a great success. Combinations of color with gold as well as silver threads are seen in very large pattern brocades. Copies from antique tapestry design in combinations of rich colorings with old gold, silver and steel metal threads have been greatly employed for the court trains of presentation gowns. A number of the large Paris houses have ordered exclusive patterns in these metal brocades. Worth has a beautiful line of these fabrics. One of the most interesting patterns is the Prince of Wales feathers, with broad bands of ribbon running from one group of feathers to another to form the design. This pattern is executed in gold or silver therads on a delicate colored satin, otherwise perfectly plain. The fabric seems almost like an embroidered tissue, so perfect and so striking is the design. Another interesting pattern shows great stalks of the French fleur-de-lis tied with ribbons, the ends of which pass from one bunch to another. EASY WASH DAY. For an easy wash day, without the trouble of running a washing machine, bending over a wash board, or the expense of washing compounds, the following recipe, which has been in use in my family for many years, is highly recommended: First, let the clothes soak in lukewarm water for twenty to thirty minutes. Second, to a No. 9 wash boiler, two-thirds full of water, add two tablespoons full of kerosene (common lamp oil) and one bar of any laundry soap (excepting naphtha) finely sliced. Put boiler on stove and let the mixture of water, oil and soap come to a boll; then put the clothes, which have been soaked in the lukewarm water the required length of time, into the boiling solution and let boll for ten minutes, after which take clothes out, rinse in cold water, and wring. Should any of the clothes bear a deep grease stain a few light rubs on the washboard is necessary. If the above directions are followed as given the result will be perfectly clean clothes, bearing no odor of oil whatever, and a wash day made easy at a cost of not more than 25 cents for fuel, water, oil and soap. CABBAGE IN A NEW WAY. Cut a freshly gathered cabbage into the thinest shreds possible, season it well with salt, black pepper, vinegar, finely chopped onions, olive oil and cream. Mix all well in a bowl and garnish with slices of hard-boiled eggs, strips of tongue or ham, and sprinkle it well with chopped tarragon. BLACK LAYER CAKE. Two egg yolks well beaten, two tablespoons brown sugar, one cup mo lasses, one teaspoon each cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, two cups flour, Fashion Hats at the grand steeplechase at Auteuil were enormous. Long ribbon streamers decorated some of them. In spite of its simple effectiveness, not one woman wears a sailor hat today where five wore them a few years ago. Sleeves just now are half and three-quarter length, but there is a rumor afloat that they are to again be long and close. A number of pretty skirts have the stash at the side or side front, which gives opportunity for display of fetching footwear. - Lace gowns, lace coats, lace tunics, lace overwaists, lace scarfs and mantles—lace abundant makes a prominent part in the summer wardrobe. Odd satin and taffeta coats in habit shape were in great favor at the recent great race meetings of the French capital. For bridemaids, lace caps are in vogue. They drop over the hair in soft plaited frills and are trimmed with rows of silk or mousseline flowers. Little coats or jackets of changeable taffetas are worn with volle or mull frocks. They show the high line and the platted frill at the lower edge. Many of the new parasols are in bordered effects—pongee silks with hands of Persian or Dresden satins or perhaps a border of plain colored taffeta one cup of boiling water, one heaping teaspoon soda, added last. Then stir all together and bake immediately in layers. Use iceing with chopped raisins for filling. HOUSEHOLD HINTS FROZEN FRUIT PUDDING. Beat the yolks of four eggs and a half cupful of sugar until light; dissolve a tablespoonful of corn starch in a little cold milk, add to the beaten yolks and gradually stir in four cupfuls of hot milk. Cook over hot water for fifteen minutes, stirring constantly until it thickens, and then only occasionally. Chop fine one cupful of English walnuts and plump out a cupful of raisins by covering them with boiling water, and after standing 15 minutes drain them and roll in granulated sugar. When the cooked mixture is cold add a little vanilla, a cupful of strawberry preserve, the nuts and raisins and freeze as ice cream. When half frozen add the whites of four eggs beaten to a stiff froth with one-quarter of a cupful of sugar. When serving garnish with the halves of nuts and a little whipped cream. ORANGE CREAM. Cut a small hole in the top of six small oranges and with a small spoon scoop out the pulp, leaving the skins whole and clear. Take five or six more oranges and squeeze out the juice. Dissolve one ounce of gelatin in a little water and mix with it the juice of all and pulp of the six first oranges and four ounces of sugar. Strain and when cold add one pint of cream. Pour this into the scooped out orange skins. Leave them on ice for a few hours. Then with a sharp pointed knife cut around the middle of each and carefully remove the top half of the skin which has the hole in it. The cream will have a slightly rough appearance, like the inside of an orange. Garnish with some little strips of the thin yellow peel. TUTTI FRUTTI FILLING. One-fourth cup each of figs, prepared cocoanut, walnut meats and raisins, one cup of sugar, one-fourth cup of water and the white of one egg. Chop the fruit very fine. Simmer the sugar and water until it threads; beat the white of the egg and pour the sirup over it, beating until smooth; then add the chopped fruit and spread, while it is warm. This makes two fillings. NEW ENGLAND SUCCOTASH. Take two quarts of shelled string beans (green), one dozen ears of corn (cut from the cob) and one pound pickled pork. Cover the pork with water and parboil it. Add the beans; cook until they burst; then add corn, two-tablespoonfuls sugar, butter the size of a walnut, and pepper to taste. After the corn is added, watch carefully to keep from scorching. Notes Colored linings are again to be used for suits; sleeves will be long and will closely follow the contour of the arm. Foulards are combined with plain silks extensively. Rarely do we see a silk dress of entirely one kind of material. It is indeed a season of remnants. An ingenious milliner has evolved some beautiful tassels from discarded willow plumes and, attached to a heavy silk cord, they are the sole trimming of a new high-pointed crown black velvet hat. Big wings of eyelet embroidery are among the season's millinery plumage. They are the big embroidered collars on fur coats—a fashion soon to be seen. The most important accessory to new gowns noted recently are sleeves puffed and frilled at the elbow in such a manner that the wearing of ordinary coat sleeves over them would be quite impossible. White broadcloth, partly covered with one of the heavy laces—Venise, macrame, crochet, yak, etc., and trimmed with ostrich, will be ranked as the dress hat, rivaling those of black velvet and feathers. The most couplecuous features, of autumn millinery are the great height of the tall-peaked crowns, appearing on all sorts and conditions of hats, and the trimmings, which is also employed to add its quota to the towering effects. BIG DEMAND FOR TEACHERS DR. L. B. MOORE OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY SAYS PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED TEACHERS FIND NO TROUBLE SECURING EMPLOYMENT—WHAT MEMBERS OF 1911 CLASS ARE DOING. Washington—Dr. Lewis B. Moore, dean of the teachers' college of Howard university, has made his annual report to President W. P. Thirkield, D. D., LL. D., on the distribution and location of the graduates of the teachers' college, class of 1911. He says, among other things, that the demand in the modern school for professionally-trained teachers in the pedagogical and practical sciences and arts is so great among colored people that it is impossible to supply the demand made by superintendents of education and principals of high schools and college presidents. "Were the classes in our teachers' college much larger than they are, they would readily find positions of importance and large service," Doctor Moore maintains. Following is the roll of the class of 1911 with their present positions: FIGHTING THE BOLL WEEVIL CHARLES BANKS ISSUES LETTER TO COLORED FARMERS OF THE DELTA ADVISING THAT ACTIVE CAMPAIGN BE WAGED AGAINST PEST. Mound Bayou, Miss.—Charles Banks, president of the Mississippi Negro Business league, has published an open letter to the negro farmers of the Delta, as follows: "To the Negro Farmers of the Delta: The boll weevil has infected practically the entire delta. Its destruction in the southern part of the state has been dreadful. But the fear of the weevil has worked more hardships on our people than the weevil itself. Those who stayed where the weevil found them have fared better than those who came away to escape him. These last ones came into hardships they knew not of, and have been the losers. In a word, the thing to do is to rout the boll weevil, instead of allowing him to rout you. The merchant acted for the best interests of all in not advancing money when the weevil appeared; for more money was cleared the very first year of his advent than has been done in better crop years. "It has taken you a lifetime to get together the things you own. To work or break up and start again on jands you do not understand will very likely mean your undoing for all time. "You can and should raise more hay, hogs, grain and feed stuffs. Nor does this mean to neglect cotton, for when it is cultivated under government and other methods, the weevil-infected district can be made to yield as much as other places. For instance, Sharkey county, with the weevil, produced more cotton than Coahoma county did without the weevil. So, judging by the light of past experience, it is the part of wisdom for the negro farmer to adjust himself to the conditions surrounding him, and remain here and fight it out. This is my advice and counsel as president of the Negro Business league of Mississippi, which has for six years kept an eye open for your best interests and pointed you the way thereunto. "Yours truly." "CHARLES BANKS, "President of Mississippi Negro Business League." COMPOTE OF APPLES. One pound of apples, one-quarter pound of lump sugar, one cupful of water, the juice of half a lemon, a few drops of red coloring. Put the sugar, water and lemon juice into a clean enameled saucepan and let them boil quickly for ten minutes. Feel the apples, core them and cut into quarters. Throw the pieces into the boiling, sirup and let them cook slowly until clear and tender, but not broken. Then remove the apples, reduce the sirup and add a few drops of coloring. Arrange the apples in a glass dish and pour the sirup over. A little cream or custard served with them is a great improvement. PAINTED IN FIRST CENTURY Remarkable Colored Portraits on Wood Found by Prof. Filinders Petrel in Egypt. With the revived interest in art, both ancient and modern, it is surprising that so little attention has been paid to the recent exhibition by Prof. Flinders Petrie of some remarkable color portraits which he discovered in an Egyptian cemetery at Fayoum. The cemetery date from about the first century and its occupants were probably Roman. The portraits which the professor has discovered are painted on thin cedar wood and were used as a covering over the face of each mummified body. Professor Petrie considers that these are probably the earliest paintings know, and says that many of the portraits are of such individuality and strength as to challenge comparison with the technic and imagination of modern artists. This is particularly remarkable from the fact that the basic material of the paints is beeswax, which must have been melted to receive the pigment, and then melted again immediately before use. The colors have been found to consist of mineral ochre, and haematite, the blacks and charcoal, and the pinks and purples are madder. It is interesting to note that several modern artists have attempted to use beeswax in their pigments, but the results have been unsatisfactory, owing to its tendency to either harden too slowly, which causes the colors to funn, or too quickly, causing the brush to become clouded.

GENTLY REBUKED. As a young lady attired in a neat blue suit entered a Vliet street car, a man, his head buried in a newspaper arose and offered his seat. With a curt nod, the young woman accepted, and as soon as she had composed herself she became diligently interested in the contents of her shopping bag. In spite of his apparent abstraction, the man with the newspaper eyed her furtively for a moment. Then, speaking hurriedly, he said: "I beg your pardon, what is it; what did you say?" The young woman lifted her eyes, and seeing that she was addressed, she answered, coolly: "I said nothing, sir." "Beg pardon, beg pardon," was the absent minded answer. "I thought you said 'Thank you.'"— Milwaukee Free Press. QUITE COMFORTABLE. "Don't you think Mr. Bliggins suffers from exaggerated ego?" "No," replied Miss Cayenne. "He doesn't suffer.

You scrutinize it as if you had not seen it every day for the last ten years," asked Percival's sister Hazel. "It just flashed upon my mind that those branches need trimming." "Didn't you want the whole tree chopped down to make room for the tennis court? I thought that you mentioned something about it before you went west." "Oh, I've changed my mind since I met Aimie Alliston. Why she used to live in this very house when she was a child. Her father died and the family moved away. She was most interested to find I came from her home town. Wanted to know all about the people here, who married who. Made me describe the house minutely. What color it was painted; who occupied her room, and last but not least she confessed how she loved that old tree under which she used to play with her dolls. I never realized how much I loved that tree until then. Isn't it a beauty with its leaves like a delicate piece of embroidery against the blue sky?" "Are you in love with the tree or the girl?" asked his sister. "You'll like her too, when you know her. She intends visiting her cousin Helen Hungerford next week. I think I'll send the man up tomorrow to trim those decayed branches. Every little leaflet seems to say, 'Aimee is coming!'" Just as Hazel was about to leave the house an old man appeared. "I came to take some of the dead limbs off that tree," he said. "Be sure to cut the branches off the one tree, and chop the other N "Those Branches Need Trimming." one down, it shades the house too much," directed Hazel, thinking. "Certainly it isn't necessary to stay home to watch that man." Hazel was much disturbed upon her return to meet her brother, who looked as distressed, excited and angry as it was possible for a young man to appear. "Hazel, in heaven's name—there's nothing but the roots of that tree left. The old imbecile bungler chopped it down. How could it have happened? I'll have that brute arrested! Aimee loved that tree and I believed she loved me because I loved it too." "Oh! Percival, it's all my fault-I'm so sorry." "I should think you would be. Aimie will never believe that tree ever stood there since we moved here She'll think I'm a deliberate deceiver, a liar and everything in the category of deceit. If that sturdy old oak was only standing there, I'd give every cent I possess, or expect to carn." "Why not have another one planted in its place?" suggested Hazel. "Great, immense! I'll send the Wild Turkey In Virginia. In King George county, Virginia, wild turkeys have been unusually plentiful. In a number of instances they joined focks of domestic turkeys in barnyards. On the premises of Chapman Prire, Belle Isle, a wild turkey joined the flock of fowls in the yard and when Price walked toward it the fowl became entangled in a wire fence and was caught. Alexander Pott, one of the best shots in King George county, frightened some wild fowls away from his man to the woods tomorrow to fetch one." A few days later, when Percival met the "only girl in the world for him" at the depot he said, "Jump into my automobile, I was appointed a delegation of one to meet you." "Oh! It will be lovely to take a little ride with just you. The depot is so new, nothing looks familiar. I'm crazy to see our old home once again." "Your old home is going to be your new home some day, I hope," he said, giving her one lingering, loving glance. "I hope your hope will come true," she said, placing her hand tenderly on his shoulder. As they neared the house Aimie spied the tree, which seemed to be waving its leaves to welcome her. "That dear old tree has been waiting for me all these years." Jumping out of the car, she ran toward it. Standing under the branches, she looked like some pure white flower. Percival could not resist the temptation to kiss her. "I'm so glad," she whispered, as the moon above smiled upon the two lovers under the green canopy "that our first kiss is under my dear old tree. It makes it so sacred, Percival," she said. "Am I the only girl you ever kissed under the protecting shadows of this tree?" "I can swear to you by all that I consider holy that you are the only sweetheart I've had as long as that tree is standing there," answered the young man, "and my love, like the oak, will stand for years to come, hardy, firm and strong." INCIDENTS IN IBSEN'S LIFE. While at Bergen, Ibsen fell a little in love with a pretty girl, who used to bring the young poet flowers from the wood. One day, while walking with her, the pair were suddenly met by the young-lady's father, who had no respect for an impecunious poet. Ibsen, like Goethe, was no hero, and incontinently fled, leaving the girl to explain as best she might. It was to her that the poem "Flowers of the Wood" was written. As a young man Ibsen was by no means certain of his vocation. Until he was thirty-two he believed himself to be born for painting. In fact, a fairly large exhibition might be got together of the canvases painted by Ibsen in the days of his early manhood, and scattered now through the farmhouses and country villas of Norway. He remained all his life profoundly interested in art, and his judgments of ancient and renaissance art in Italy are always original. Of Raphael he said: "Raphael's art has never warmed me. His beings belong to the Garden of Eden before the fall." SINGERS AT DAWN. In her ideal American novel, "Ramona," Helen Hunt Jackson tells us of a beautiful custom practiced by the Spanish-American Catholics of California in this wise: "At the first dawn of light, the oldest member of the family rose and began singing a hymn familiar to the household. It was the duty of each person hearing it to immediately rise, or at least sit up in bed and join in the singing. In a few moments the whole family would be singing, and the joyous sounds pouring out from the house like the music of the birds in the field at dawn. The hymns were usually invocations to the Virgin or to the saint of the day, and the melodies were sweet and simple." Beginning the new day with song in the heart, it is easier to follow the advice of Froebel, who said "Come, let us live with our children so shall their lives bring peace and joy to us; so shall we begin to be and to become wise."—The House keeper.

"I consider the greatest compliment I ever had paid to my painting," said Rose Maddar, who was showing the results of her summer's sketching to Miss Verity, "was that Euphemia Jones said about it. She expressed so much in such a few words." "What did she say?" asked Miss Verity. "She said," replied Rose, "that my pictures had a 'great deal of vitality.'" "And just what did she mean by that?" inquired Miss Verity. "She meant—why, I perfectly understand what she meant. Don't you really know?" "No," responded Miss Verity with a sigh. "Just put it in plain words, won't you, Rose?" "Why, she meant—she meant—that the pictures had—that the pictures had—well, of course, that the pictures had 'a great deal of vitality.'" "I'm dense, I suppose, for I still fail to grasp her exact meaning." "Euphenia Jones knows lots and lots about art and talks beautifully and interestingly on the subject," said Rose Maldar, bridling. "Because you can't grasp the subtlety of her expression 'vitality' used in this connection, is not reason why it does not mean something nice, and to have her say, such things about one's pictures is certainly a great compliment!"

If a doctor's prescription is not entirely used, the remainder should be thrown away, bearing in mind that; if liquid, the bottle should be emptied and washed. Not one chance in a hundred would ever necessitate the use of the medicine or the same combination of drugs, unless it be in the form of a linament or some external remedy, which should be properly labeled. Most medicines do not keep well, and, if unnecessary bottles are kept in the medicine cabinet, mistakes are more apt to be made, and confusion results. The medicine closet should be kept separate from others, free from dampness, and under lock and key, if possible, remembering to exclude the light. Drugs, especially powders, are injured by dampness.—Suburban Life. NEW PLANET IS LOST. The astronomical world has found and lost a new planet and now the observatories of the world are training their telescopes on the heavens in the hope of again locating the strange little traveler. The new planet or asteroid, as astronomers call it, was discovered by Palisa of Vienna, and his discovery confirmed by Pecula of Copenhagen. According to the best calculations the planet is a lively traveler and has advanced so rapidly toward the earth that it has distanced observation and is now lost track of. MODIFIED MARRIAGE. "You and your husband celebrate your silver wedding next week, do you?" "Yes; next Wednesday." "Does it seem possible that you have lived together 25 years?" "I should say it didn't!

Dockery's Little Plan to Evade Borrowing Friend Fell Through. Alexander M. Dockery, former governor of Missouri, was at one time a member of the house of representatives, and, while filling the job, made the acquaintance of a needy young man who formed the habit of borrowing too much money. Dockery got tired of being "touched" every few days and decided to put a stop to it. One day he was called out of the house chamber by the borrowing friend. "Say, Dockery," came the usual request, "can you lend me twenty?" Dockery looked grieved and cast down, felt in all his pockets and nearly succeeded in squeezing out a tear from his left eye. "I haven't got a cent," he said in sepulchral tone. At that moment he spied a page boy coming down the corridor—a boy who, he knew, was always hard up. The legislator taw a way of making an effective escape. "I don't even know where I could borrow the money for you, Ben," he concluded. Turning quickly, he called the page. "Ray, my boy," he said kindly, "have you twenty dollars with you?" The boy put his and into a pocket, Dockery took a few steps toward the door and the would-be borrower began to mourn. "Yes, sir," said the lad. "Here it is."—The Popular Magazine. SEAS EAT THE CONTINENTS Process of Erosion, However, Protects the Land by Building Sand and Shingle Beaches. A great deal of interest is taken in England in the question of coast protection. The ocean, assailing the cliffs, gradually tears them away, but this very process furnishes a defense for the land by building up long beaches of sand and shingle, which arrest the waves before they can attack the cliffs. An effort is making to prevent; or better regulate, the removal of this material for construction and road building, because in many places its removal has permitted the sea freely to exert its power of erosion. The ordnance survey has ascertained that in the last 35 years England has lost 6,640 acres by sea erosion, and gained 48,000 acres through reclaiming land, the existence of which is mainly due to material brought down by the rivers. Youth's Companion. SHE BENT, THE BUILDING. Mr. and Mrs. Aschenbrenner were touring Europe and had just arrived at Pisa. Mrs. Aschenbrenner was all excited upon reaching the leaning tower of Pisa, and eagerly pattered up the spiral stairway, leaving her husband languidly awaiting her return. -As she weighed a shade over the 200 mark, her husband always dug up an excuse when it came to accompanying her on any altitudes above easy falling distance. He was just pondering on the beautiful flow of the unintelligible language used by their guide when from the topmost rampart came the "Hi-lee, Hi-lo" trill of his wife, who was leaning far out and waving a scarf. Mr. Aschenbrenner obligingly looked up and then came to life with an anguished roar: "Gretchen, for your life get back. You're bendin' the building."—Harper's Magazine. FANCY SKATERS THERE. "There do not seem to be any just ordinary skaters at St. Moritz," said a New York woman who spent last winter at the Swiss resort. "Nobody goes in for plain skating, but all do fancy figures and feats, such as in New York we are accustomed to see mainly at exhibitions. And nobody you meet there seems to get too old to put on skates. "The most active fancy figure artist in the place last winter was an English noblewoman who is over seventy years old, but she was so active you would have thought she was not more than half her years."

The snail does not receive in this country the attention that Europeans see fit to bestow upon him. For some time a controversy has been going on between scientists there over the question of the eyesight of the humble mollusc. One school holds that the eyes of the snail cannot stand the bright sunlight, and point to the fact that he takes his leisurely walks abroad at night, and that he has a fondness for the shade. Now comes a patient investigator named Yung, who claims that the snail doesn't see at all. He has made 2,400 experiments upon 176 specimens, and he says that when you put snails into an enclosure where there is both light and shade, their distribution is a matter of chance. The snail, he says, does not shun the light so much as he hunts for seclusion. His conclusion is that the snail does not perceive obstacles in his uath until he bumps into them; his speed being low, he escapes injury. Having once selected a resting place, flashing lights into his apology for a face does not disturb him. If you put a bright object like the head of a pin or a tiny mirror within the twenty-fifth of an inch from his so-called eyes he pays no attention. To complete his experiments, Mr. Yung amputated the organs of sight from several snails and couldn't find that it made any difference in their happy, if placid, lives.

Unthinking and self-engrossed young womanhood is apt to plume itself on a lover's devotion so complete that it leaves no room for even common courtesy to the rest of the world. This type of girl rather prides herself on the passion she has inspired, when her lover crushes carelessly past any woman to get to her, and all the time if she knew men, she might feel a pang of fear as to her own future. Once the fever of his love dream is over, just with the carless courtesy with which he treats other women will her lover treat her after marriage. The best proof that a man will prove as kind and considerate husband as he is in his unfailing courtesy and consideration to all women. Because he loves one does not make a gentleman less gentle—but more. THE ANSWER. "A man died," says the teacher. "leaving to his eldest son one-fourth of his property, plus one-tenth that of the share received by the next son, who was to receive one-fourth of the property, plus one-twentieth of the share received by the third son, who was to receive as much as the other two received, less one-fifth of their combined inheritances.

THE PROGRESSIVE MAN Senator Carter's Tale of His Visit to London Quite Squelched Mr. Newlyrich. A newly rich railroad man on one occasion bored Senator Carter with a description of his first visit to London. The new millionaire was rather snobbish in his ways and sayings. He told of the great people he had met and finally asked Carter if he had ever been in London. SEE THE "Oh, yes, frequently," replied Carter. "Where did you put up?" "Buckingham palace," was Carter's rejoinder, and he proceeded to tell his newly rich friend how he and Queen Victoria and the late King Edward, then the prince of Wales, and all the royal family had breakfasted together. Carter went into details giving the different breakfasts every morning at the palace. He switched to the luncheons and finally to the dinners, which he described in detail, telling how huge diamonds were set in the gold dinner plates and how the prince of Wales pried out several and handed them to Carter for keepsakes. Then Carter remarked on the jolly times he had rolling on the floor playing with the royal children, and this rigmarole lasted for an hour. In the end his newly wealthy friend seemed to be utterly crushed. SHE DEMANDS SOUARE DEAL Rich American Wife of Foreign Noble- man Will Stand No Nonsense From Him. Representative Henry of Texas, whose campaign against international marriages has already borne fruit in the Gould-Drexel wedding and the Sears-Vanderbilt engagement. said the other day in Waco: "My investigation of international marriages has revealed one good thing. This rich American wife stands no nonsense from her foreign husband. She gives him a square deal and if he doesn't give her one in return—bang! "There was a young nobleman who, on an allowance of $20,000 from his wife, a New York girl, began to live a very gay life. Then came the inevitable separation, the withdrawal of the allowance and the end to all gaicity forever. "I'm sorry, old chap,' said one of the nobleman's friends, 'I'm very sorry to hear you've fallen out with your wife.' "Oh, I didn't fall out,' was the dismal reply. 'She chucked me out.'" ECONOMICS IS A FAVORITE. The first report of the results of the new "grouping of studies" system at Harvard is now at hand. Under this system every student must take at least six of his courses in some one department and six more courses must be distributed among the three general groups in which his chief work does not lie. As to the five remaining courses necessary for a degree, free election prevails. Of the present sophomore class—a total of 133 are concentrating their work in economics, 55 in engineering and 45 in romance languages, English history and chemistry follow in the order named. The report will cause no surprise. Economics has long been a popular subject with college men, principally because it is supposed to bear a rather close relation to the life work of the ordinary graduate. SCHOOL TEACHER KING. The versatile Peter the Great followed his various professions for pleasure; but there have been monarchs who have had of necessity to follow a profession other than that of reigning. When Louis Philippe, then duke of Chartres, fled from France in 1793, he took a post in a school in Switzerland, where he taught mathematics and geography under the name of M. Chabaud-Latour. And in ancient times there was Dionysius, who, after reigning over Syracuse and getting deposed, earned a meager living as a schoolmaster, and later on a less meager one as a barber. And now there is a new chapter of "Rois en Exile" waiting a writer. SHIPWRECK DE LUXE. "Yes," said Mrs. Van Millyun, "we were on this desert island for months and months."
