SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10 1912 President of Haiti Perished In Flames PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI, Aug. 8. —General Cincinnatus Lecone, President of the republic of Haiti, perished today in a fire which destroyed the national palace. It was caused by an explosion of the powder magazine attached to the palace. The explosion occurred at 3:15 this morning and the shock shattered the palace. Fire followed and the palace, a wooden structure, was consumed within half an hour. During the fire there were a great many explosions of munitions of war in the cellars below the palace. All the nearby houses were greatly damaged by the explosion, but as the palace itself was isolated the firemen succeeded in their efforts to localize the fire. The members of the family of the President, all of whom were in the palace at the time, were saved but President Leconte himself perished in the flames. Consternation reigns among the population, but the military authorities are maintaining order in town. Both the chamber and the senate have been called together in national assembly and probably will nominate a successor to President Leconte today. General Tancrede Auguste, senator, formerly minister of public works, and Senator Luxenberg Cauvin, formerly minister of the interior, are candidates. The cause of the explosion of powder magazine has not been ascertained. Cinoinnatus Leconte was elected unanimously by congress president of Haiti on August 14th, last year. He first gained prominence in Haitien affairs in 1908, when as minister of the interior in the cabinet of President Nord Alexis, he was credited with ordering the summary shooting of ten prominent revolutionaries at Port-au-Prince. Shortly after the regime of Nord Alexis was brought to an end Leconte went into exile in Jamaica. While there he intrigued against the new President Simon, and in January, 1911, started a revolution against him, which was, however, short-lived. The insurgents were defeated and Leconte took refuge in the German consulate at Cape Haitien, later being sent from the island under German protection. Leconte returned to Haiti in May last year and succeeded in overthrowing President Simon. He was a mulatto, between 40 and 50 years old, and belonged to the legal profession. Later investigations showed that the casualty list in dead and wounded amounted to four hundred people — Morning News. Sacred Concert.

On tomorrow afternoon at three- thirty o'clock there will be a mass meeting at St. Philip Monumental A. M. E. church, Hull street, west, in the interest of the proposed Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute It is the plan of the African Methodist church to erect the proposed school on the ground donated by the Central Park Improvement Company, about four miles from the city on the White Bluff road. Land immediately adjoining that which has been presented to the church for the purpose of a school building has been laid off in lots and sold to Negroes, and it is the hope of the African Methodist church in this section of the State to have the proposed school form a nucleus for a great educational institution in southwest Georgia. The mass meeting on tomorrow afternoon is to be held for the purpose of arousing interest in the proposed school and it is expected that a large crowd will be out. The program which will be presented on this occasion is a very interesting one and will no doubt prove of much benefit to the proposed school.

This sum is to be sent in immediately to the Grand Secretary at Savannah. The Eastern Star Grand Chapter meeting at Brunswick is expected to be largely attended and very interesting. MASONRY OFFSETS SELFISHNESS Selfishness makes no garden and plants no flowers anywhere. As Masons we shall honor our institution, and commend its virtues to the world when we exercise the grace of brotherly love. We need more of it among ourselves. Masonry will help to make us better men, just as we bestow upon others, and just as others bestow upon us, the heavenly boon of brotherly love. Masonry teaches us how mutually dependent we are upon each other, and how much we need to give and receive the helping hand and heart of genuine brotherly affection. We look into the bird's nest and we see the strong giving herself to the weak. By a law of instinct birds flock together, and become helps to one another, as they migrate to other clines. Sheep huddle together during a snowstorm for mutual warmth and protection. A selfish species can not long survive, and any creature that will not stand together with his kind in mutual protection will soon disappear. I believe it is generally understood among men that the ties of Masonry are strong. We are glad the world thinks so. We want it to be known everywhere that Freemasonry binds men together in a brotherhood that is the more sacred and enduring because of its high ideals, and its noble conceptions of life. Such a brotherhood will always be honored. Such a fraternity will continue to bear its impressive testimonial to the world as in the past. It will inspire us in many little ways to "spread the cement of brotherly love and affection," which shall continue to "unite us into one sacred band or society of friends and brothers," among whom no unholy contention should ever exist. Such a brotherhood is endowed with the breath of immortality. These loving links that bind us are not to be broken by death. This beautiful flower of brotherly love which we are cultivating in this life, and whose fragrance fills this sacred place where we meet today, shall bloom into immortal beauty by the sides of the River of Life, and be as fadeless as the glory which encircles the throne of God.—R. W. Bro. C. W. Atwood. FINED FOR SETTING UP LODGE Boston, Mass., July 31.—James C. White, grand master of the Most Worshipful Alpha Grand Lodge, A. F. & M., was found guilty of deception in setting up his grand lodge in Massachusetts by Judge Burke in the Municipal Criminal Court of Suffolk County last Wednesday and fined $50. The complaint was made by Samuel W. Washington, Past Grand Master of Prince Hall Grand Lodge F. and A. M. It stated that White had set up a grand lodge in this state without the consent of Prince Hall Grand Lodge or the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, and the name was so much like the older organization as to deceive the public, and that it was intended to deceive. White was arrested Friday; July 19, arraigned the same day, and held in $300 bail. The trial commenced Monday, July 22. The complaint was drawn by Curtis J. Wright, who examined the first NUMBER 47 Roosevelt Nominated by Bull Moose GOVERNOR JOHNSON OF CALIFORNIA IS RUNNING MATE All Negro Delegates From South Thrown out Convention — Many Female Delegates Present The first session of the first convention of the new Progressive Party which was formed by Col. Theodore Roosevelt took place in the Coliseum at Chicago last Monday and was attended by a very enthusiastic set of delegates, save the Negro delegates from the south. The attendance, in point of numbers, was also very encouraging to the leaders of the new party as there were about eleven hundred delegates. One of the most noticeable features about the crowd was the large number of women delegates present. The convention, of course, nominated for the presidency its founder, Col. Roosevelt, who in order to inject enthusiasm into the convention and see that his wishes were carried out, was on the scene of battle. As his running mate, the convention selected Governor Hiram W. Johnson of California, who was elected without opposition. Of particular interest to the Negroes of the country, especially those of the south, was the ruling of the National Committee of the new party on contesting delegates from the south in which the "lily whites" of the party and the Negro delegates who opposed them for seats in the convention figured. The cases of the contesting delegates were all decided in favor of the white delegates except that of Florida in which both the white and Negro delegates were thrown out. The contested cases which had been ruled upon by the provisional national committee were all placed before the Colonel in detail and a hot fight was precipitated by both sides. With but the single exception of Florida he settled the question of securing recognition from the new party in favor of the whites and by his decision stating that he would cling to the position he had taken, namely, that although it might cost him votes in the northern states he believed it was to the best interest of the party to proceed under white leadership in the south. There were a number of his supporters who dissented from this opinion at first, but they were all finally won over by the Colonel. Thus, not a single Negro delegate from the south was given any recognition at the convention. This decision of the Colonel is simply looked upon as a grandstand play for the southern white man's vote as the inconsistency of his stand upon the race question is shown in his decision to allow the Negro delegates from the north to be seated. The convention struck out the word "national" from its name and will hereafter be known simply as the Progressive Party. The convention met in its final session Wednesday when it was flooded with oratory from the ardent followers of the Moose. Asbury M. E. Church. Gwinnett Street West of West Baoad.

SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. TAFT ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION The Ceremony Held in Famous East Room. TITLE CLEAR, SAYS ROOT. Guests and Committee Snapped for Moving Pictures. Enthusiasm Attends the Very Simple Ceremony In the East Room Of the White House. Washington.—Surrounded by his family and many leading Republicans in the historic East Room of the White House, President Taft received from Senator Elihu Root, chairman of the committee of notification, his first official information of his nomination by the Republican National Convention at Chicago. "Your title to the nomination is as clear and unimpeachable as the title of any candidate since political-conventions began," said Senator Root in his address. "I accept the nomination which you tender," replied President Taft, beginning his speech of acceptance, "as an expression of confidence that in a second administration I will serve the public well." Memories of a weather forecast which promised a sapphire sky and brought a blizzard on the day Mr. Taft was inaugurated changed the plans of having the notification ceremonies on the rear portico, which overlooks the gardens and a green slope toward the Potomac, so the President and his guests assembled in the East Room. Mrs. Taft, radiant and happy, stood by her husband's side. Charles, their younger son, was there, too. They had come from their summer cottage at Beverly. Miss Helen Taft and Robert, the elder son, were not present. T. William H. Taft. Moving picture machine operators perched upon points of vantage in the corners of the room clicked off thousands of feet of film while Senator Root and the President were speaking. It was the first time a moving picture had been taken in the White House. The State Department will preserve one of the polls in its archives. TAFT'S SPEECH. Washington — Although President Taft's formal speech of acceptance of the nomination defined in detail the issues of the campaign as he saw them, he reserved the right to amplify his statements in a letter as the campaign develops. The supreme issue that confronts the voters, the President declared, was that of the maintenance of the nation's institutions and the preservation of the Constitution, threatened, he said on the one hand by the Democratic party and on the other by those Republicans who had left the party to try their fortunes in a new one. Next in importance Mr. Taft placed the tariff. In the proposals of the Democrats for reduction in the present schedules, he said, lay danger of business depressions and hard times. The Republican principle of revision only where scientific investigation shows it necessary marked the straight road to continued prosperity and commercial peace. In discussing the tariff the President said that it was untrue that to its door could be traced the high cost of living, and pointed out that conditions of living were alike over the world. A political promise could not Meat prices reached the highest point in history in New York city. The government is expected to bring suit for the dissolution of the Poster Advertising Company.

Jollet, Ill.—Three weeks ago a small box of jewelry was stolen from the home of Miss Josephine Schultez, 417 Blackman avenue, this city. It was found Tuesday in the stomach of a cow, which was sent to an abattoir here from a farm eight miles from Jollet. No clue has been found to trace the journey of the jewelry from the Schultez home to the farm. The articles found in the stomach of the animal were two brooches, one diamond ring, a bracelet and a woman's gold watch. They were returned to Miss Schultez. Kansas City, Kansas.—Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester of the United States, had a narrow escape from death near here when an automobile in which he was riding with two companions was demolished in a collision with an interurban electric car. Pinchot was dragged 60 feet, but despite his bruises he made an address here later. rcmedy such a condition, he said. As an issue only less important than the tariff the President placed the regulation of trusts. He said the Sherman law had been enforced with success, but added that specific acts of unfair trade should be denounced as misdemeanors that such acts might be avoided, or when committed punished by summary procedure. Interstate business enterprise, he said, should be offered a Federal incorporation law. Aside from these issues, the President pointed to the record of the Republican party and particularly during his own administration as an earnest of what it might be expected to do in the future if the people returned it to power in November. He attacked the Democrats at other points than the tariff, making special reference to the refusal of that party in the House of Representatives to continue the naval policy of two battleships a year. JOHN H. HARRIS Senator Elihu Rct. Mr. Taft did not mention either Colonel Roosevelt or Governor Woodrow Wilson by name, but referred to each. While he did not accuse either of embracing the doctrines of socialism, many of the proposals they had made, the President said, savored of it strongly. He closed with a review of his administrative achievements and appealed directly to the conservative voters of the Democratic party to join with the Republicans at the polls. ROOT'S ADDRESS Washington.—Senator Ellhu \ Root, in his address to President Taft here when, as chairman of the committee of notification, he formally advised the President of his nomination by the Chicago Convention, said in part: "The committee of notification," said Senator Root, "here present has the honor to advise you formally that on the 22d day of June last you were regularly and duly nominated by the National Convention of the Republican party to be the Republican candidate for the President for the term beginning March 4. 1913. "For the second time in the history of the Republican party a part of the delegates have refused to be bound by the action of the Convention. Now, as on the former occasion, the irreconcilable minority declares its intention to support either your Democratic opponent or a third candidate. The reason assigned for this course is dissatisfaction with the decision of certain contests in the making up of the temporary roll of the Convention. Those contests were decided by the tribunal upon which the law that has governed the Republican party for more than 40 years imposed the duty of deciding such contests. "You have been nominated because you stand pre-eminently for certain fixed and essential principles which the Republican party maintains. You believe in the rule of law rather than the rule of men. You realize that the only safety for nations, as for individuals, is to establish and abide by declared principles of action. You are in sympathy with the great practical rules of right conduct that the American people have set up for their own guidance and self-restraint in the limitations of the Constitution. "You know that to sweep away those wise rules of self-restraint would not be progress but decadence. You know that the great declarations of principle in our Constitution cannot be made an effectual guide to conduct in any other way than by judicial judgment upon attempts to violate them; and you maintain the independence, dignity and authority of the courts of the United States. "In respect of all these things your country is threatened from many sides. It is your high privilege to be the standard-bearer for the cause in which you believe; and in that cause of peace and justice and liberty the millions of your countrymen who believe as you do will stand with you, and the great party which was born in the struggle for constitutional freedom will support you." Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace, on trial at Atlanta, Ga., on the charge of shooting her husband, told the court that Grace shot himself accidentally while she was scuffling with him to prevent him shooting her. Attorney Daniel Donahue and Miss Alleen Heppner have been indicted by the Copk county grand jury for alleged conspiracy to defame Clarence S.

TRAINS Both Are Well Filled—Lighter Train Split Asunder and Wreck- Rio Janeiro, Brazil. At least 100 persons were killed and twice that number injured in a collision between two suburban passenger trains on the Central Brazilian Railroad. A special train bearing physicians, nurses and a complete field hospital outfit was immediately rushed to the scene. The trains were both filled with passengers, and through some mistake in signals met head-on while rounding a curve. The heavier of the two trains plowed half way through the other, and almost immediately the wreckage caught fire. Many of the injured will die, and railroad officials here express the fear that it will prove the worst railroad disaster Brazil has ever suffered. The police arrested the surviving members of the crews of two trains. Carelessness is charged. ICE TRUST TO OPEN BOOKS. Will Permit Government To See If It Is Violating Law. Washington. — Investigation of the so-called "Ice Trust" by the Federal Grand Jury here was suspended when the American Ice Company agreed to open its books to a representative of the government for an investigation as to whether the Sherman Anti-Trust law is being violated. Director William A. Tucker, of New York, representing the company, reached this agreement with Attorney General Wickersham. If, after a full investigation, it is found the company is violating the law it promises to readjust its methods. COUNSEL FOR THE HOUSE. Wickersham Names Wristley Brown For Archbald Case. Washington. — Attorney General Wickersham has designated Wrisley Brown his special assistant to act as counsel for the managers of the House in the impeachment trial of Judge Archbald.

Mr. Brown, by direction of the Attorney General, investigated the Archbald case when the charges were submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission. WANTS AN AERIAL FLEET Representative Sharp Points Out Advantages Of Aliphies In War. Washington.—Representative Sharp, of Ohio, told the House that progress of aviation had virtually made helpless the fleets and armies of the world, and urged the appropriation of a liberal sum to establish an aerial fleet for the protection of the United States. Had France and Germany gone to war recently over the Moroccan question, Mr. Sharp contended, France would have won a prompt victory by reason of her superiority in the air. COW ATE JEWELRY.

This annual yield of $2,400,000 protection money was equally divided, according to the story told by Rose, among four high officials of the police department, one of them being Becker, and from other evidence the District Attorney has collected he has reason to suspect that each $600,000 was, further distributed. In other words, there were four separate systems or bureaus of graft collection, each headed by a high police official. Mr. Whitman, it was learned, has the names of the other, three police officials whom Rose has named, and his further efforts in this now most sensational "police exposure" that New York has ever seen will be directed toward strengthening the evidence which points against them. One of the officials named, it was learned, holds a position at headquarters and is in a direct sense a civilian employ. The name of a former prominent city official has been brought to the attention of the district attorney as having been closely connected with the "graft system," but it was learned that the evidence thus far obtained against him is not of a tangible nature. The evidence, however, is being closely followed by the detectives in the employ of the district attorney. It also became known that if Lieutenant Becker will tell all he knows, not only in respect to his own alleged complicity in the murder, but will unfold the inner workings of the graft system, insofar as it may involve the "men higher up," no effort will be made to enforce the extreme penalty of the crime of which he now stands accused—the murder of Rosenthal—but he will be granted lenency on that condition only. The alleged fact of the the $2,400,000 graft fund was told to him by Becker, Rose said in a sworn statement. Becker, he said, told him that he handled $600,000 a year and that equal amounts were handled by three other officials. This, he said, came in collections from gambling houses, pool rooms, houses of ill repute and the like. DEACONS ENJOIN SINGER. May Not Raise His Voice in Tennessee Church. Chattanooga, Tenn.—J. P. Emmett, a vocalist, has been restrained by injunction from singing in the First Baptist Church of Albertville. The injunction was issued upon the prayer of the deacons of the church. MAY HAVE NEW TRIAL. BILL Introduced For Dismissed West Point Cadets. Washington. — Four West Point cadets, court-martialed last August and dismissed by President Taft on a charge of drinking intoxicating liquor on the academy grounds, would be granted a new trial through the terms of a bill favorably reported by the House Military Affairs Committee. The measure authorizes President Taft to order a new court-martial and to inflict lesser punishment. TITANIC REPORT EXONERATES ISMAY Excessive. Speed is Blamed for the Disasfer. DISCIPLINE FOUND GOOD. Say Captain Lord Should Have Helped—Board Of Trade Scored For Not Changing Rules Since 1894. London.—Excessive speed is held responsible for the Titanic disaster in the report of the British commission of inquiry which was presented in Scottish Drill Hall Tuesday. J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, is absolved from blame for jumping into a lifeboat and saving his life while hundreds of other passengers went to their doom. There is no censure of the conduct of Captain Smith, of the lost liner, in the report. In driving his ship at high speed through the ice region he was merely following the general custom of ship-masters, the report states. Adverse criticism is visited upon Captain Lord, of the Leyland liner California, which might have saved many if not all of the lives that were lost, the commission says. Lord Mersey presided when the committee was called to order. "The loss of the Titanic was due to a collision with an iceberg brought about by the excessive speed at which the ship was navigated," the report says, "but the ship was effectively officered and was supplied with the proper charts." ARTHUR BRISBANE WEDS. Miss Phoebe Cary Bride Of New York Editor.

Vincent, wife of the president of the Minnesota University, will chaperone the camping party, consisting of young people. WARNING GIVEN TO ALL POWERS No Naval Bases For Western Hemisphere. STAND BY MONROE DOCTRINE. Lodge Resolution Is Reported To the Senate By the Foreign Relations Committee and Probably Will Washington. The United States Senate will be asked to act on Senator Lodge's resolution, unanimously adopted by the Foreign Relations Committee, which would make clear to the world this nation's position regarding encroachment of foreign powers upon the Western Continents. The Lodge resolution submitted to the Senate affirms that the United States cannot see "without grave concern" any harbor or advantageous spot in the Western Hemisphere taken over by a foreign government or by a foreign corporation bearing close relation to the government if such occupancy would threaten the commerce or the safety of the United States. It is the outgrowth of the activity of an American syndicate which sought to sell to a Japanese fishing corporation 4,000,000 acres of land about Magdalena Bay, in Southern California. Leading members of the Foreign Relations Committee declared that this definition of the attitude of the United States is not a direct reaffirmation of the Monroe Doctrine, a point to be clearly emphasized in the Senate, but is an announcement by the United States that it will protect its "approaches" and prevent the establishment of foreign naval or military bases at threatening points in this hemisphere. Though the Foreign Relations Committee, upon investigation of the Magdalena Bay project, found that the Japanese government had no connection with it, they determined that the Senate should assert its belief that foreign corporations be not allowed to secure sites in the Western Hemisphere that might later be turned over to their home government for naval or military bases. Members of the committee point out that the Monroe doctrine, as laid down by President Monroe in his message to Congress in 1823, was that this nation would not permit any foreign power to threaten the safety of or attempt invasion of an independent government in the Western Hemisphere. In the Magdalena Bay case it is claimed the United States is following the precedents set by England and other powers, in declaring that foreign nations must not secure military or naval footholds where they can threaten the commerce and safety of this country. This position will be taken in the debate in the Senate by the members of the committee who joined in recommending the passage of the Lodge resolutions. The fact that American traffic through the Panama Canal must pass in front of Magdalena Bay and that the safety of American shipping and the movement of American battleships in time of war would be seriously threatened by any foreign power established there, makes the place one that could not safely be allowed to pass into control of a foreign company, it is claimed. The resolution was strengthened before submission to the Senate by an amendment by Senator Hitchcock. Not only does it declare against the possession of these "advantageous points" by corporations wholly foreign, but it covers also American corporations, the control of whose stock may have passed into foreign hands. BODY IS FOUND. Victim Of Foul Play Or An Accident. Catskill, N. Y.—The body of the young woman found Monday afternoon in DuBols creek near this village was identified as that of Miss Dorcas I. Snodgrass, a nurse, who has been missing from the home of her sister in Mount Vernon since July 17. The identification was made by Frederick Schmidt, the young woman's fiance, an electrical contractor of Mount Vernon, and by Police Lieutenant M. I. Silverton, of the same place. FALL FROM AEROPLANE.

LON HILL IS RICHEST INDIAN IN THE WORLD Not all the good Indians are dead Indians, the late Gen. Phil Kearney to the contrary n o t withstanding. At least there is at least one exe- ception to that rule, the same be- ing Lon C. Hill of Harlinger, Tex. who is safd to possess a fortune of $6,000,000 or thereabout. Bri- ticized he might be called Lord Harlinger, for he owns the town of to the contrary not withstanding. At least there is at least one exception to that rule, the same being Lon C. Hill of Harlinger, Tex., who is said to possess a fortune of $6,000,000 or thereabout. Britticized he might be called Lord Harlinger, for he owns the town of Harlinger. It is just a mite in the midst of his estate. All around the town stretch miles of land owned by Lon Hill. Clear on down to Brownsville, 25 miles, his acres run, and nearly every day when he is at home one of his round dozen of high-speed automobiles also runs to Brownsville and back to Harlinger. Those who get fugitive, fitting glimpses of the Lon Hill car on these runs declare that it really files. Hill is said to break the automobile road record for speed every time he travels between his home at Harlinger and his business headquarters at Brownsville. The 11 automobiles not used for the daily run to the office are at the disposal of his family and friends for touring the Lon Hill estate, and for prospective purchasers of some of his acreage. All Texas knows Lon Hill, who knows all Texas. "I was born in Texas and raised in the United States," he remarked to a writer. Lon Hill is a bright and shining protest against the commonly accepted dictum that an Indian cannot be a good business man. He is altogether Indian—mark that. A fullblood Choctaw, he combines with the blood of the aboriginal American the energy of the native born of usurpers who crossed the seas to conquer a new world and an ancient race. Furthermore, Lon Hill is a living testimonial to the fact that an Indian need not be a ward of Uncle Sam unless he chooses. He has not shared in the land allotments of his tribe. All he has he has earned by his own energy and sagacity. No "grass money" for Lon Hill! "I used to rustle cattle in Indian territory," said the multimillionaire Choctaw, "when I was a young fellow, and I learned enough there to know. that I needed education. I got it by going through the University of Texas at Austin, and then through the law school of the University of Virginia." Lon Hill believes in education. Two of his sons have finished the course at the State University and others are matriculated. "It never occurred to me before to figure it up," he said, "but I reckon I have sent about 100 boys and girls through college. Every one of them has turned out well, too. They'll make their marks. I have made it a rule to require each of my boys who goes through the university to take along another boy and educate him simultaneously. NEW BRITISH SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR The recent appointment in England of Lieut.-Col. J. E. B. Seely as the new secretary of state for war, has been received with general approval in that country. To the army also his appointment has given satisfaction Colonel Seely has had good training for office, particularly since Lord Haldane's elevation to the peerage, during the secretary of state for war, has been received with general approval in that country. To the army also his appointment has given satisfaction Colonel Seely has had good training for office, particularly since Lord Haldane's elevation to the peerage, during the period that he represented the war office in the Commons as Under-secretary. He has seen active service as an imperial yeoman (colonel of the Hants Carabineers), in the South African war, winning mention in dispatches, the D. S. O., and the Queen's medal with five clasps. He is forty-four years of age, a Harrow boy, and a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge. He entered Parliament in 1900 as a Conservative, but crossed the floor of the house because of tariff reform. When living in the Isle of Wight, Colonel Seely, as a member of the Brooke lifeboat crew, saved nine lives from a wrecked French ship by swimming out to the wreck with a lifeline. For this he received a gold medal from the French government. Its Possibility. She—I don't think Danae's fate when Jupiter showered her to death under gold, was so remarkable. He—You don't? She—No. I know lots of modern wives who would die of the shock, too, if their husbands showed them the color of their money. "Poor old Bobbsley! His is a hard lot." "Why, I thought he had a pretty easy time of it." "He has; but he recently bought a site for a new residence and he finds that it will be necessary to dig the cellar with dynamite."

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Let us consider wealth for a moment says one writer. Man cuts down a tree and makes a house of it. Thus nature has been arrested—dammed up, so to speak—and man has created wealth. Thus we have the thing we term wealth—houses, palaces, hovels, cities, railroads, steamships—all of the wonderful structures that man has built, which has been created by him through his energy, by arresting nature. But something else has happened meanwhile. It is about like this: In every 100 men, say, there will be one, who has something else besides energy. He has brains. He is naturally superior to the rest. At first his superiority may be only, the breadth of a hair. It is just enough for him to differentiate himself from the ninety and nine. Afterwards this difference may grow, as he has opportunity to cultivate it; but at first it is slight. What has this man discovered? Merely that he is capable of playing a trick upon the rest. He says: "You are doing it this way; this is a pretty good way, of course, but I think I know a better. At present each one of you is working on his own hook, and sometimes you work against each other—without meaning to, of course. Now if you will let me direct your movements a little, I can produce twice as much wealth as you are producing at present." So the man, who really makes a bargain with each one of the ninety and nine naturally gets his profit from each one. The rest don't realize this. Each one thinks he is the only one concerned. In a short time the man with brains owns about nineteenths of all the wealth that the energy of the ninety and nine men has created. This gives him more leisure to think and to develop other plans. He then creates, from the resources of his own mind, three things, namely, religion, law and government. With religion he solaces the ninety and nine poor devils who have never learned to think, and if anyone argues with him about it, he says: "Sh! would you deprive them of their greatest consolation? Apostate!" With law he arranges a process of selection so that the wealth which is constantly being created by the ninety and nine will all go to his own beirs and assigns. He fortifies himself thus against his own indiscretions, so that his children, who may not, and probably will not, have any brains at all, will be able to float along on the tire of wealth the ninety and nine are constantly renewing for them. With government he clinches the whole matter and makes respectable his process of robbing the ninety and nine. Thus we have that degenerate thing called society, a mass of retrograde brains, spouting culture, literature, art and honesty, all blindly supported by the ninety and nine, who in the first place didn't want to think, because it was too much trouble.—"Old Hickory." There is no allment or disease more prevalent among our people than that technically known as "aphasia." This disease attacks those brain areas that control speech. The symptoms of this disease in a mild form are lack of energy in talking, lapse of memory at frequent intervals in conversation, and a most annoying tendency to verbal "scatteration" and The negroes of Washington and the District of Columbia of the old settlers, before the war, acquired much and valuable real estate when land values were cheap, but which has appreciated greatly with the years and the marvelous improvements that have made Washington one of the most beautiful capitals of the world. Much of this property was allowed by the first, purchasers or their immediate heirs to get away from them, but much of it was "kept in the family," and is now held by the heirs. A very great volume has also been secured by "newcomers" since the war. The Washington Bee chronicles the passing of block 900 in S street to the ownership of negroes. For a great many years Mr. Daniel Murray of the Congressional library was the only negro proprietor in the street. Mr. Benjamin Washington purchased the adjoining property and the exodus of whites began. The Bee says: "Among the newest 'colonists' in this '900' block of S street, are Prof. and Mrs. L. B. Moore, Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Tignor, Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Francis, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, Mr. and Dr. Booker T. Washington traveled the red light districts of London, Paris and Berlin and was not molested, and thus we had "The Man Farthest Down." Then, why should it be dangerous for him to travel in the same district in his own country? An encouraging sign of the times is the fact that there are occasions when we certainly get together. Last week the entire race press featured the Washington-Ulrich case. Display headlines with well written stories of the affair did credit to the publishers. In many general loitering along instead of going directly to the point. The victim of this ailment aurcharges his expressions with "er"-"er"-"er's" until the hearer becomes nauseated; he tries to give you the name of some one, and the name eludes him; he refers to a place but can't think of its name; in other words, he is conducting you down to a point on the stream of conversation and instead of going directly to the object he turns aside and explores every little rivulet running into it. Wearled, you forget what he intended to say, or where he intended to go. The talk is at once diffusive and confusing, showing that the speaker is a victim of mental "scatteration" rather than a master of concentration. This common time-wasting fault is general among both the literate and the illiterate among our people. It becomes hideously disgusting among the educated (?), who, in addition to the foregoing, infect a troop of ill-chosen pronouns which make confusion worse confounded. Some days ago a young colored man boarded a train to go to a certain place. He had failed to buy a ticket. After the train had gotten under way, the conductor came in and shouted: "Tickets, tickets." Our young man handed him a piece of money. The conductor asked, "Where do you want to go?" There was considerable hesitation, scratching of the head, floundering over the "Ah"-"ah"-"er-"er," and finally the fellow had to turn to one of his companions and ask, "What's the name 'er de place I want to go to?" This had consumed about four minutes of the conductor's time, and the latter passed on a sadder and a madder man! Through the efforts of Dr. James H. Dillard, field agent of the combined Jeanes Rural school and John F. Slater funds, a commission of southern state university professors has been formed to study the race question from an economic, educational and sociological viewpoint. "The chief aim of the organization," says Dr. Dillard, "is to study the negro in his relation to southern life. I know that student groups in many southern universities have been studying this question. They have done this systematically and with high promise. So I was led to conclude that we should look to our state universities for the prosecution of the work, and it appeared that the work could best be prosecuted through co-ordination and cooperation by all the institutions. The commission has been formed by the selection of a member from each of the 11 state universities of the south. as follows: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Prof. C. H. Braugh of the University of Arkansas is president, and Prof. Hunley of the University of Virginia is secretary. The negro lodge and the negro church should not forget from whence cometh their strength. They control thousands of dollars yearly, nearly all of which is placed in the banks owned and operated by, white men, notwithstanding the colored banks are quite numerous. There are five colored banks in Texas, and out of something like $250,000 of colored money belonging to colored lodges and churches (not 5 per cent of it can be found on deposit in colored banks. This condition must change. The negro must not be separated from his money. Dallas Express. Mrs. George Henry Murray, and Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Jones. It is given out that Prof. and Mrs. W. A.

The recent appointment by President Taft of Mingo Sanders, who was a sergeant of the Negro infantry regiment discharged from the army for supposed participation in the Brownsville riots, as a messenger should commend itself to every loyal Negro of the country. Sergeant Sanders up to the time of his discharge had but one more year to serve before he would have been retired on a pension. He, as were several others in his command, was at the time of the Brownsville riot, off on a furlough and, as was proven, could in no way be connected with the shooting up of the town, yet in the face of this he was disgracefully discharged with the other men. We not only feel that Sergeant Sanders should be appointed to the position which President Taft has offered him, but should also be allowed the two-thirds pension which is allowed every United States soldier when he serves the required time. We also trust that the other members of his command who were dishonorably discharged for an occurrence which was never proven they committed will at a futu e day be reinstated in the army. That the verdict of the jury in the Boggs-Worley case was quite a surprise to the community and a slok to those who had even a slight acquaintance with the circumstances of the case is shown by the following editorials in the two daily papers: What the Court Said The Savannah Press is loth to believe that a mere question of race prejudice determined the verdict in the Boggs-Mary case. There is no tension between the races in Savannah and never has been. Before the law all men are supposed to be equal, and the crime of shedding human blood is not mitigated because of the fact that the victim was a Negro. In the former trial of this case one of the young men was promptly convicted of murdering the old colored man and was sentenced to the penitentiary for life. He got off very light then, and when the supreme court sent back the case to be tried upon a technicality of the law The Savannah Press unhesitatingly expressed its disappointment and that of the community. One of the justices of that court laid down his estimate of the crime in no uncertain manner. Mr. Justice Lumpkin then said in his dissenting opinion: "Cone ding that the admission of evidence of a witness as to the peaceable character of the deceased was erroneous. I do not think a reversal should result. It would not be advisable to enter into a full discussion of the case as it is to be returned for a, new trial. Suffice it to say that the evidence showed a shocking case of murder. Testimony in behalf of the defendant showed that he and his comrade rode into the country in a hired automobile at night, killed the owner, sold the automobile, concealed their identity and fled; and that at the time the deceased was killed he had gotten out of the automobile on the ground and had no weapon then with him. As to these facts there was no dispute, although the cause and his witness insisted that the deceased was the assailant." As we understand it no new evidence was introduced. In fact, no evidence at all was offered for the defense. The prisoners simply made their statements, trusting to the improbable theory of self defense and strange to say they were acquitted. We do not know that much good comes from criticising the verdict of the jury. We have done it before; but once more we desire to say that we cheerfully share in the surprise and disappointment felt in this community over the verdict of acquittal of these young fellows. To allow men like these to go unwhipped of justice is an outrage upon the community, an insult to the law and justice. The courts and community have suffered from this verdict, and yet we are powerless to do more than protest. This, however, we will continue to do.—Savannah Press. A Surprising Verdict The people of this city were surprised and shocked by the verdict in the case against Hugh Boggs and John Willis Worley who were charged with the murder of Jasper H. Turner, a Negro who owned and operated an automobile. They feel that it is a reproach to the community. The killing of Turner occurred a year ago, and in the public mind there had been no doubt that he had been murdered until the jury acquitted the men who admitted they killed him in self defense. One of the accused men was tried and convicted of murder a number of months ago, but the verdict was set aside by the Jupreme Court on a technicality. This week the defendants were tried jointly, but no new evidence was introduced in their behalf. In fact, they put in no evidence, the defense relying wholly on the statements of the defendants. The solicitor general felt that he made out a complete case against the accused men and said so, and yet it seems the jury had a doubt, a doubt which it considered reasonable, and so the accused go free of the charge The public cannot protest f the jury believed there was a reasonable doubt of the guilt of the defendants, but we venture to say that the feeling throughout the community is that there was a miscarriage of justice, that the jury gave too much weight to the stories of the accused men and the arguments in their beha f. It was admitted that they killed Turner, but the plea was that they acted in self defense. Then why did they conceal the body, sell the automobile and hide from the authorities? We question if the reasonable doubt of the jury is shared by any considerable number of people in this community where there was the greatest indignation when the killing of Turner was discovered. And in this connection it isn't out of place to say a word about the technicalities. If the Supreme Court had handled the Worley case from the standpoint of securing substantial justice instead of stressing so strongly a technicality the outcome of the charge against the accused men might have been different. The new trial in the case of Worley and the delay were not without their influence and this influence was undoubtedly in the favor of the defendants. The young men may consider themselves exceedingly fortunate in escaping a charge that was supported by such strong evidence.—Morning News. That the Negroes of the entire country should stand as a unit in their opposition to the new party which Col. Roosevelt has formed was demonstrated in the stand which he took against them in the National Convention which met in Chicago this week. The Convention was attended by Negro delegates from the south who were entitled to recognition, but without exception they were all kicked out and allowed no voice whatever, and this at the command of the Colonel himself. The Convention was his. He was its dictator. It was up to him to say whether or not the Negro was to receive recognition at the hands of the new party and he frankly stated his position, namely: That the Negroes of the south would be not only ignored but really kicked out of the party. It should not, therefore, in the face of his decision against the black man of the south where nine tenths of us reside and where we duly elected our delegates to the Moose Convention and they were turned down, be a matter treated lightly by us. It was not a matter of the northern Negro or those of us in the south. We are all of the same race and what concerns those in one section of the country should be of vital interest to those in the other. We should stand united in our opposition to the new party for the entire race has been shown by the casting out of the Negro delegates from the south that we are not wanted in the new party and that its attitude towards us is one of opposition. Let us be men in this fight for the right and uphold the honor of our race. That the signs of the times point to a more progressive and up-to-date ministry in our city is attested by the unanimity of action on the part of certain of our pastors in abbreviating their church services. This is indeed gratifying and deserves our fullest and freest commendation. For some time it has been our conviction that in order for a religious service to be, of the greatest value, the physical as well as the spiritual comfort of the communicants should be looked after. It has been our observation that in many of our churches the spiritual make up of man, which of course should be given the most attention in a religious service, is looked after to the utter neglect of the physical. It is indeed no uncommon occurrence for a religious service to be held for two and some times three or four hours. Now while we believe that any service of this length, unless very special, is rather irksome, we also believe that it becomes even more so when one is compelled to remain during such a long period, in a room of poor ventilation and where there is little sign of proper janitor service. We do not and can not believe that one can enter heartily into a service that has to do with the development of his soul, when his physical discomfiture is as marked as it is sometimes made to be in some of our places of worship. A short spicy and pointed religious service held under favorable physical conditions will go a longer way toward the saving, of souls than one that is just the opposite. Our good brothers of the Light must realize, as some have already done, that a great deal of good in a spiritual way can be said and done in a much shorter period than they have herefore been willing to take. Two and three sermons at one sitting, the giving or reading of notices by a majority of the official board and the taking of a halt dozen collections, have become, in this age of enlightenment, relias of by-gone days. The minister who so arranges his order of services as to give his communicants an up-to-date system devoid of undersirable repetition, is the minister who commands the attention of the community in which he presides and who places himself in position to do the most good for the most people. We are indeed proud to be able to point to the modernization and progressiveness of a large per cent of the management of some of our churches. We are indeed proud to be able to number among our ministers some of the most intelligent and up-to-date men of the south. A visit to some of our churches will convince the most critical of the intelligence and managerial ability of some of our clerical leaders. Would that this could be said of all of them. In this age of divers and counter attractions, when competition is keen, the church must realize that its attractiveness and modernness will go a far way toward helping it to hold the place which it is due. The regular businesses of today reach out for satisfied customers both old and new; the various places of amusement strive to please its patrons. The church, in order to hold its own, must strive to administer not only to the spiritual but the physical wants of its attendants. We are indeed pleased to see so large a part of our clergy awakening to a sense of the demand of the times. May the time be not far distant when all of our clergy will come to a full realization of the call and necessity for first class, up-to-date and pointed church services. By all means, let us continue to show improvement along this line. FOR SALE House at Thunderbolt, very large Lot.

Report Probably Will Not Be Presented to Congress at This Session as Committees Dealre Ample Time to Consider Provisions. Washington.—The general staff of the United States army has completed its plans for an entire reorganization and increase of this country's military establishment, a work upon which it has been busy over since it was formed some years ago. Although the report containing these plans is now in type it probably will not be presented to congress at this session, owing to the fact that members of the senate and house committees on military affairs desire ample time in which to consider all the provisions recommended by the general staff. Among those most active in the conferences on these plans are Senator Root of New York, formerly secretary of war, and Senator DuPont of Delaware, chairman of the senate committee on military affairs. The plan for the reorganization of the army as drawn up by the general staff is declared by experts to be the most important and comprehensive piece of constructive work along these lines ever performed in this country. It is also regarded as marking the first schematic military policy yet drawn up for the land forces of the United States. While some of its details have been embodied in congressional bills or letters of the secretary of war, the report has never been made public in its entirety. The great object sought to be gained is the organization of the army on a footing of constant readiness for war, with a permanent expeditionary force always ready for instant service. In order to ensure this result it is recommended that the forces liable for duty anywhere be increased about seven times. In the regular army the highest proposed unit of organization is raised and the mobile branches, which include all arms except the const artillery, are divided into two parts, the foreign and the domestice. The domestic service is to be kept permanently in continental United States, while the foreign service is to be sent to American territory elsewhere, to remain, as an organization, outside of this country for good. In addition to a proposal making for the federalization, within constitutional limits of the present national state guard, the general staff also asks for the creation of two new types of American soldier; namely, the federal reservist and the federal volunteer, the latter to be recruited in time of peace for war service and held responsible only to the central government. The general staff also recommends that the present regular army be relieved of police duties in Alaska, and suggests that peace be preserved in that district by a federal constabulary to be legislated into existence by congress. If this suggestion becomes law, the United States will have, for the first time in its history, a police force owing its authority directly to the federal government. In outlining the importance of this reorganization the general staff points out that the land forces of the United States are now in no condition to face the armies of a first-class power, and maintains that the necessity for this country so to prepare itself is immediate and imperative. - "Whatever our military institutions may be," says the report, "we must recognize the fundamental fact that victory is reward of superior force, that modern wars are short and defensive and that trained armies alone can defeat trained armies." NEGRO HAS HOUSE FLOOR PRIVILEGE. An elderly negro recently presented himself at the door of the hall of the house of representatives at Washington and proceeded to walk past the doorkeeper. That august person immediately grabbed the negro by the arm and, whirling him around, asked him what he wanted. The negro calmly told the doorkeeper that he had the floor privilege by virtue of being a former member of the "greatest deliberative body in the world." This statement the doorkeeper hallied with what nearly approached derision, but as the man did not appear much frightened or show signs of abandoning his intention to enter the house chamber, the doorkeeper dispatched a messenger to the speaker's rostrum. The messenger also conveyed to the speaker the card of the colored man, which bore the name of John R. Lynch, with a further line to the effect that Mr. Lynch was engaged in the practice of lay in the commonwealth of Mississippi. Speaker Clark for a moment was at a loss as to the proper course of procedure. First he called upon the dean of the Mississippi delegation in the lower house, who informed the speaker that John R. Lynch was fully entitled to the floor privilege. He had served a number of terms in congress from Mississippi. Lynch was admitted. Strange as it may seem, this very John R. Lynch, who experienced such difficulty in being admitted to the floor of the house, a privilege to which the customs of the house entitled him, was twenty-eight years ago the temporary chairman of the Republican national convention at Chicago, a pos tion to which the greatest politicians in the country aspired not long since. And, stranger still, the man whose motion placed Lynch in that position was Theodore Roosevelt, then a delegate from New York. HEAD OF NOTED GARDEN DIES. William R. Smith, for nearly sixty years director of the National Botanic Garden, died the other night in the little brick cottage within the gardens which he had occupied since its construction before the days of the Civil war. In the period of Mr. Smith's tenure the national garden has developed from a tiny flower garden to the largest horticultural collection, public or private, in America. Mr. Smith was a native of Scotland, born at Athlestone Falls, East Lothian, in 1828. He acquired his earliest knowledge of practical forliculture as a gardener's helper on the estate of Lord Abercromble, near Sterling Castle. At sixteen he was attached to the estate of the Duke of Athole at Dunkel in Berthshire. He came to the United States in 1853. After spending a few months in Philadelphia he journeyed to Washington, where he was offered the post of chief gardener of the then new botanic gardens. He has occupied that position ever since. The Smith collection of the works of Robert Burns and the historical, biographical and critical literature hearing upon that Scotch poet is said to be the most extensive in the world. Mr. Smith began his collection many years ago. It embraced nearly 1,000 volumes and completely filled the walls of two rooms in the cottage. Mr. Smith is survived by his aged wife, who is an invalid. PROTECTION FOR THE SPONGE. In view of the attention which has been given to the protection of seals in the northern waters, it may be of interest to note action that congress is taking to protect a product of the tropic seas—the ordinary sponge of commerce. It might be a matter of as much economic distress—if not more—to have the sponge of universal use exterminated as would be the case if the seals were eliminated. Anyway, congress has taken alarm and the senate committee on fisheries has reported out a bill already passed by the house, to prevent illegal fishing in Florida and gulf waters and at the same time extend the open season for the catching of sponges. Probably not more than one person in a thousand has known there was such a thing as an open or closed season for sponges, but such is the fact. Although permitting a larger catch of sponges than has been possible in the past protection is to be afforded for the young sponges, the taking of them to be prohibited until they are at least five inches in diameter. "ARTICLES" OF WAR REVISED. A general revision of "The Articles af War," under which the conduct of the army has been governed for more than a century, has just been completed by Judge-Advocate Crowder after a year's hard work. Secretary Stimson approves the work, and is anxious to see the new "articles" put into operation by act of congress. Although service conditions have changed greatly, there never has been a comprehensive revision of the "articles." General Crowder has retained the provisions of the old code which have withstood the test of experience, correcting the notoriously unsystematic and unscientific features. One of the most important changes is the proposed creation of an intermediate court to deal with that large proportion of cases midway between the grade of offenses calling for dismissal, dishonorable discharge or detention to be disposed of by general court-martial, and the minor offenses calling for very light punishment now dealt with by summary courts. U. S. WOMEN WELL DRESSED Mme. Vassillieff, wife of the naval attache of the Russian embassy in Washington, and one of the most beautifully gowned women in the diplomatic set, says that in no country has she seen so many well-dressed women as in America. She does not mean American women are extravagant and wasteful, but that American women have the knack of dressing neatly and attractively, of making a gown of comparatively cheap material look graceful. She does not agree with several members in the diplomatic set that Frenchwomen are the best dressed in the world. LITTLE AT A TIME. A man in Kittery, Me., has just forwarded a $2 bill to President Taft for deposit in the conscience fund. He has been at this for more than a year and sends $2 a month. He writes; "I am sorry to keep troubling you in this matter, but I am anxious that all money reach its proper destination." He is evidently a laborer, but it is not known in what way he has cheated the United States treasury. Not the Same Thing "My wife, dear doctor, thinks she must go to the Riviera for her health. Isn't there some other remedy for her illness?" "Yes, I can cure the illness, but I can't cure your wife."—Fillegende Blaetter. Really Quite Painful. "Well, I'd hate to say he's stingy, but parting with a dollar is a terrible strain on his nervous system." ATTENTION TO A DAIRY COW Care Given Animals After Calving Determines Milk Production—Good Method Given. The care given the cow just before and for the first few weeks after calving determines very largely the production for that period of lactation. Improper treatment will have a more direct and lasting effect than at any other time, and it means dollars and cent$ that she be handled to give the maximum production. The following is a method that has given good results: Dry up the cow from four to six weeks before the calf is due, and feed liberally, getting her to gain in flesh. Three or four days before her time, place her in a box stall and feed dry feed. If any constipation is noticed, mix a little linseed oil with the grain. Those cows liable to be affected with milk fever feed very little the last couple of days. If the udder tends to cake milk out and rub well. After the calf is born and has taken its first feed, milk the cow and manipulate the udder thoroughly. Allow the calf to remain with the cow the first day and then put in a pen out of sight of the cow. Very little trouble will be experienced with a caked udder, but in bad cases milk three times a day, and after each milking bathe for some time in hot-water and then rub well with turpentine and lard. It is the rubbing that counts more than the liniment. Take care to see that the afterbirth is passed properly, and do not allow improper cases to go more than 24 hours without treatment. The first day after calving feed the cow very sparingly, then gradually increase. Within three or four days, if doing properly, put back with the rest of the herd. From then on increase feed slowly until full feed is reached. Determine this when the milk record falls to rise with any further increase of feed. DRAFT HORSES FOR FARMING Experience Teaches Most Economical and Satisfactory Motive Power Is Heavy Mare. There is an insistent market demand for high-class horses, especially for draft horses, that cannot be supplied. On the other hand, says the Farmers' Home Journal, the country is flooded with common ordinary "plug" horses. They do not fill any particular requirement or demand, hence the very low and profit-killing prices for which they must sell. This insistent demand for high-class draft horses does not come from the market alone. There also comes a demand from the farm, for this is a day of heavy machinery demanding an increased amount of motive power. Experience has proven that the most satisfactory and economical form of motive power on the average farm is the heavy, sound draft mare. Besides doing most of the farm work she will raise a valuable colt each year, if properly handled. Thus she is constantly producing a profit other than by means of the work she does. Chickens in Summer. Don't crowd the chickens in warm weather, and don't put those of different ages together. The smaller ones will not have a fair chance, and where they are,crowded are apt to be mothered. Pullets hatched in May can be brought to laying by November, if they are properly fed and cared for, and crowded as fast as possible. It cannot be done, however, if they are half fed, tormented with lice, short of fresh water, or allowed to become stunted for any other reason. You will be to the expense of raising them anyway, and the sooner you begin to get returns for that expense the better, so give them the best chance to make good. Home-Made Drinking Fountain. Cheap and satisfactory water fountains can be made by carefully unsoldering one end of a large fruit can. The edges of the open end should be notched about one-half inch. The can may then be filled with water covered by a small pie tin or flower pot saucer, and the whole inverted. The water will rise as high in the saucer as the notches are cut in the can, thus providing a constant supply of water in which chickens cannot drown and which prevents a very small surface for evaporation or for gathering dirt. Boys to Farm Schools. Not a day too early to be making plans for sending at least one of the boys to an agricultural school next fall. Perhaps if he has a few acres for his own use he may be able to pay part of his expenses. At any rate he is entitled to an education and a fair start in life. Killing Poultry. Poultry should never be eaten the day it is killed. The tenderest fresh-killed chicken will be tough as soon as the animal heat has left the body. In about 12 hours, however, the muscles will relax, and it then becomes acceptable for food. Food for a Hen. Experiments have proved that a hen in good condition will eat, on an average, three ounces of mash in the morning, two ounces of grain at noon and four ounces of grain at night. Meadow Grass. Several kinds of grass should be sown when starting a meadow. Red and alsike clover, timothy, redtop and bluegrass make a fine combination. GOOD CULTURE OF POTATOES Desirability.of Planting Seed Deep in Soil—New Land Planted to Clover Is Best. In growing potatoes, my pet idea is to plant the seed deep, so the crop will get all the moisture possible. Let the seed be at least 4 or 5 inches below the level of the soil in which the potatoes are planted, says a writer in the American Cultivator. By all means set the seed in deep. We need not cover them full depth when planted, but leave the furrows to be filled in gradually during the subsequent cultivations. Do not hill the potatoes much; just round the earth about the vines sufficiently to keep the tubers well covered over. Soil suitable for potato growing must be well drained and when this has been done, either naturally or artificially, it is very important, this planting deeply so the roots will form well down deep in the moist, cool soil, which makes ideal conditions for the production of large tubers in abundance. This is the principle of so-called "trench culture" of potatoes. Happily, we can perform now nearly all the work of cultivation and harvesting by machines run by horsepower, thus doing away with the costly and tedious hand labor. In growing all crops we must cut down the expense of culture to the lowest possible mark. In selecting soil for potato culture, new land or land recently in grass and clover affords ideal conditions for the growth of the potato. The second season after plowing up the grass or clover sod is much more suitable for potato culture than the first, as obviously we cannot plant the seed deep on a new tough sod, but a year or two, first in corn culture, will tame the sod so as to fit it admirably for the potato. RIGHT TIME TO PLANT TREE Work Should Be Done Just as Soon as New Growth Is. About, to Begin—Start With Season. It may be said that the right time to plant any tree, root or shrub is just as the new growth is about to begin. It follows from this that the planting season may be prolonged If the tree or plant can be kept in a dormant condition. This is constantly done by keeping trees in a low temperature until two weeks after the natural planting time. But there are other considerations, besides the convenience of the planter. A tree will make a better, healthier growth, if it starts with the season. The condition of the soil is more likely to be right then, than later. We are more certain of sufficient moisture, and just the proper amount of heat. Later there may be a lack of rain, and too much heat. And yet we sometimes have in the early part of the season too much rain, so that the soil is really not fit to work. It is too much like mortar. So it is sometimes necessary to hold trees waiting for the proper condition of soil. So it can be seen that the best general rule is to plant just before the new growth starts. There is no harm done if the buds swell and open, and the leaves begin to expand, provided the weather is not too hot and dry. But it is preferable, because a little safer, to set them out say twenty-four hours before the buds open. It goes without saying that trees may be successfully transplanted both earlier and later than the ideal time. It is done often. Rape for Hogs. Rape may be sown as late as the first of August and still make a lot of good pasture for hogs, says a writer in the National Stockman. It is a good thing to sow in the corn at the last cultivation, but owing to the fact that it winter-kills I should like to sow something else with it. I expect to seed down five acres of corn with the following mixture per acre: One bushel soy beans, four pounds of rape seed and one and one-half gallons of crimson clover. If for any reason I fail to get a stand I will drill in rye after the corn is silled. Gulnea as a Forager. The guinea fowl is a great forager and destroys many insects that the hens will not touch. They do not scratch the garden, and, though not easily kept near the house, they make known the places where they lay by a peculiar noise, which enables one accustomed to them to find all the eggs they lay. They really cost almost nothing to raise, and when roosting near the house create an alarm should intruders make their appearance. Gribbing Corn. If you are a little doubtful as to the keeping qualities of the corn you first gather, put, a load in one crib, then a load in another, allowing each load to air out well before being covered up by the next load. You will thus avoid heating and subsequent mold. Grading, Pln Stock. To grade up your pig stock is as important as grading up the dairy cows. The most conservative course is to select the breed most popular in your vicinity and improve on the common individuals by the use of improved boars. Fine the Soil. Plant root hairs feed from the minutest particles of soil. Clods are useless. Crush them and make plant food available. A land-roller, pulverizer, mumber and several kinds of harrows are indispensable. OF PREHISTORIC DAYS MUMMY DECLARED TO BE SEV ERAL MILLION YEARS OLD. Rellc of the Reptillan Sea Discovered by Scientist, Who Hopes to Find Also the Coexistent Hu- The oldest mummy in the world has been found. It is the body of a reptile said to be several million years old, a relic of the reptilian sea. The skin of this creature shows a marked resemblance to the skin of the present-day lizard. It has a wonderfully sheeny surface, decorated with tiny puckers and fine lines running through it. This suggests a color pattern in life, which may have been a shagreen, displayed in a color design. It is not unlikely that when seen from in front these reptiles presented a larger appearance than when viewed from behind. The skeleton is equally well preserved and shows that the animal was between figteen and sixteen feet in height and some thirty feet long. Besides being in an excellent state of preservation, the skin is stretched over the skeleton in much the same way as it was in life. This reptile belongs to the "dinosaurs" and was designated "duck beaked" because of its form of toothless muzzle. This mummy was found by Mr. Sternberg, a collector who has worked for many years for the American Museum of Natural History. He says that it is a mummy of one of those giant reptiles which at that time took the place of elephants, rhinocer, giraffes and other animals common today. It has been sent to the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Prof. H. F. Osborn, the president of the museum, says that after the death of the reptile the carcass lay for some time on the bank of a river, where it was exposed to the sun until it was mummified; then it was washed down stream by a flood and buried in some deep pool, where it was covered up with a clayey sand which was fine enough to preserve the outline of the animal. Prof. Osborn says that this is a most important discovery for a number of reasons. It is the oldest mummy in the world and shows what terrifying looking animals were associated with man and closely related to him in those early prehistoric days. Most important of all, Professor Osborn, Mr. Sternberg and other scientists interested in this mummy hope to find in the same region a mummy of a man or woman, which will prove that early man was as large and strong as those terrible sea monsters they met and combated. Discount for Rent. When the bachelor maid wrote a check for her rent she looked thoughtful. "What is the matter?" asked her mother. "I'm wondering why tenants do not get a discount for cash in ten days. Merchants do. The usual rule in business is a discount of five per cent, for cash in ten days. Tenants, on the contrary, are asked to pay their rent 30 days in advance of the time it really is due, and such a thing as a discount never has been heard of so far as I know. Merchants do not pay for goods until they receive them, but we tenants are expected to pay for something we have not had and may never have, if, for instance, the premises should burn. I am not much of a political economist. I wonder if some of the presidential candidates could explain the situation to me—I mean an explanation that would really explain." Sulphur as a Fertilizer. Expiriments by M. Boulanger have determined that sulphur (in the form of the familiar "flowers of sulphur") is a valuable fertilizer of the soil, tending materially to increase the harvest. Its action is not direct, as in the case of other mineral fertilizers, however. It operates as a modifier of the bacterial flora contained in ordinary soil. It acts as a destroyer of noxious microbes on the one hand, while on the other it is favorable to the useful bacterial flora. This is proved by the circumstances that its influence is exerted only on normal earth. When the soil has been sterilized by heat the sulphur becomes impotent. Many a Lip Here. Dr. S. J. Crumbline, secretary of the Kansas board of health, is the owner of the oldest common drinking cup in Kansas. It was hammered out of a solid piece of steel by a blacksmith more than 50 years ago, and was hung over the sulphur spring at Fort Scott. The edges of the bowl are worn thin and smooth just from the rubbing of thousands of lips of Indians, soldiers, negroes, white men and women and children in its years of constant service as a common drinking cup—Philadelphia Record. Plan to Boost New York. The Hotel and Business Men's league of New York city is planning to institute a campaign to make the city "bigger, better and busier" during the summer months, when things are usually somewhat slow even in the metropolis. A series of pageants and fetes will, it is expected, be held three times a week for three months, with special illuminations of Riverside drive. Let Him Out. Mrs. Henpeck—We're going to get up a woman's parade and there isn't going to be a single man in it. Henpeck (aside) — Gee! That's lucky for me. Just as the charges and pending impeachment proceedings against Judge Robert W. Archbold, of the United States commerce court, bid fair to unmake one man; so the slifting of those charges and the case against the federal judge promises to disclose to the country a new and scintillating figure among the guardians of Robert W. Archbald, of the United States commerce court, big fair to unmake one man; so the slifting of those charges and the case against the federal judge promises to disclose to the country a new and scintillating figure among the guardians of Uncle Sam's laws and institutions. Among the shrewd young lawyers in the bureau of investigations—the new secret service it is called—of the Department of Justice, a number of more than ordinarily capable men have been found, men whose shrewdness and persistency have proven stumbling blocks for violators of the law, big and little. Few, however, have been called upon to stand the tests of strength which Wrisley Brown, one of the youngest of that body, has come through victorious. Mr. Brown is only twenty-eight years old. He graduated from the G. W. U. law school in this city in 1907. But In the four years since he has been with Uncle Sam he has turned an extraordinary legal mind, backed by a bulldog persistence and a natural ability to solve men and problems of human nature, to such account that he is recognized as one of the strongest figures in the body of legal lights which Wickersham, Taft's fighting attorney general, has gathered around him. When William F. Boland, the Scranton coal operator who preferred the original charges against Judge Archbold, had succeeded in calling his charges to the attention of the president, the latter instructed his attorney general to have the charges sifted to the bottom as quietly as possible, and make a report to the White House. Realizing not only the seriosness of the charges, but the difficulty which would be experienced by any one attempting to sift them without notoriety, Mr. Wickersham called in Mr. Brown, and put him on the cree. His instructions to Brown were to get at the bottom of the facts, regardless of who might be hit, and report his findings. Mr. Brown had to start in on a mass of indefinite, hearsay evidence brought by Boland. To corroborate or refute this he had to go into a country dominated, practically owned, by railroad interests, and interrogate people who not only feared this railroad influence, but were distinctly friendly to the man whose record Brown was trying either to clear or hopelessly discredit. He had to get from these people information without the powerful lever of the subpoena or other legal advantages. It was with full knowledge of these difficulties that Attorney General Wickersham selected the quiet young lawyer to make the investigation. Brown had stood the test of fire before. In spite of offers of bribes, threats of personal violence, and the use of great political influence in an effort to eliminate him from the government service, he had ruthlessly prosecuted the campaign against bank wreckers, bucketshops, and fraudulent stock selling concerns which had been instruced to his care by the department of justice. He was hardly known outside of Washington to the great mass of the people, but the forces of evil he had attacked knew him to their sorrow. When Mr. Brown reached Scranton he found conditions no less difficult than he had anticipated. That he overcame these difficulties is strongly testified to by the House Committee on Judiciary, which by a unanimous vote declared for the institution of impeachment proceedings against Judge Archbald almost entirely upon the framework of the case Brown made out without the help of a subpoena. LADY DECIES PREPARING FOR THE STORK'S VISIT Preparations for their first visit from the stork are being made by Lord and Lady Decies at their home near London, friends of former Miss Vivien Gould hear. The visit is expected at the end of this month, and there is much excitement about it at the bride's old home in New York city. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George J. Lord and Lady Decies at their home near London, friends of former Miss Vivien Gould hear. The visit is expected at the end of this month, and there is much excitement about it at the bride's old home in New York city. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George J. Gould, sailed the other day for England so as to be present to welcome the little stranger, who, they hope, will prove an heir to the title. So soon as the young mother and baby can travel, the Decies purpose to go to their Irish estate, where they will do much entertaining. Lord Decies has succeeded the late Marquis of Waterford as commandant of the South Irish Horse. Not Surprised. Biggs—I see that a new telegraph machine has been invented that will handle 300 words a minute. Wonderful, isn't it? Wiggs—Oh, I dunno. Did you ever hear my wife talk? THE SCRAP BOOK Man Power and Coal Power. Does any one realize the power of coal as a worker? A man was set to work to pump as hard as he could all day, and at the end of ten hours it was found that he had done just as much work as a little less than two ounces of coal could do, says Answers. Taking all the energy put forth by a hard-working man during one whole year, the same amount of force would be furnished by thirty-six pounds of good coal, or say forty pounds of average coal. We produce six tons a head of population, and this contains the energy of 336 men working for a whole year. Of course even in our best engines the greater part of the working energy of coal is wasted. But even if only one tenth is turned to account, one and a half hundrewweight of coal is equal to a man working for 300 days of the year. A horse can do as much work as ten men, but one and a quarter pounds of coal has as much working force as a horse expends in one day. So that a ton of coal, if we could use all its force, would do as much work as six horses working for a whole year. The Supreme Court For the supreme court of the United States there is no exact precedent, either in the ancient or the modern times. In making the great Constitution the "Fathers" availed themselves of all past knowledge and experience, but it was probably from the French publicist Montesquieu that they got their idea of the Supreme Court. In his book, "The Spirit of the Laws," Montesquieu, after making a masterly analysis of all forms of government, used these words: "There is no liberty if the judicial power be not separated from the legislative and the executive." The framers of the Constitution knew Montesquieu's book well, and there is not any room for doubt about getting the idea of the Supreme Court from that source. Perilous Ride. Two sailors going from London to Glasgow had a perilous ride one recent night on buffers on the Scotch express. They concealed themselves at Euston, and got on the buffers of a passenger carriage. The train left Euston at midnight, and is timed to travel at a mile a minute, Crewe, a distance of 150 miles, being the first stop. When the express pulled up the men seemed terribly frightened, and more dead than alive. They said that the journey was piercingly cold. As they passed through three long tunnels the hot cinders emitted from the engine fire scorched them, while they were nearly suffocated by smoke. They presented a woeful appearance when taken into custody at Crewe charged with traveling without tickets. The Rain. About three-quarters of the rain which refreshes the continents of the earth is due to the condensation of the vapors rising from the soil and not to those coming from the oceans. Elaborate estimates, based on all available data as presented in Germany, show that the annual rainfall for the entire globe is equivalent to a layer of water enveloping the earth to a depth of about three feet. The quantity of rain water and melted snow falling in a year is put at 11,000 cubic miles. More than two-thirds of this fall upon the sea. South America is, it is said, the only one of the continents on which the annual rainfall on land exceeds that on the surface of the sea. Helen's Age Marriage was certainly not always contracted at an early age in ancient or classical days. We cannot recall an instance of a Biblical woman being married young. The glory of the classical age around which so many famous romances gather, Helen of Troy, the beautiful wonder of her time, was forty-seven when she married Menelus, fifty when she eloped, or was abducted by the youth Paris, and over sixty when she re-captured Menelus by her beauty and induced him to take her back. This was in a land where women now grow old soon. Yet none of the ancient Greek writers seem to have thought the story remarkable on account of her age. Rhodes. Rhodes, recently brought to the public notice by the Italian attack, is said to have been peopled from Crete as early as B. C. 916. Rhodes, its chief city, was built about B. C. 420, and had its most flourishing time from 250 to 200 B. C., after which it began to decline. It was at Rhodes that the famous Colossus stood, for a long time one of the "Seven Wonders" of the world. The island and city are replete with history, especially in connection with the celebrated orders of knights, chief among which were the Hospitaliers and the Knights of St. John. It fell into the hands of the Turks about 1522 Original Edition of the Rubalyat of Omar Khayyam Is the Most Costly In the World. The most costly bound book in the world is a copy of the original edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, the green-morocco covers of which are literally studded with a thousand gems set in gold. Te be exact, there are 1,050 stones in gold settings, firmly fixed in the leather, the book having taken nearly two years to produce. The gems include rubles, amethysts, emeralds, garnets, turquoises, topazes, and olivines. The front cover, besides being richly gemmed with flashing jewels, is decorated with three peacocks inlaid in the natural colors. The eyes of the feathers are jeweled with ninety-seven topazes, all being specially cut to the correct shape of the eye. The eyes of the birds are rubles and the crests of topazes. A border depleting a vine has 250 amethysts studded in groups to represent bunches of grapes. On the back cover of this marvelous book is a faithful model of a Persian mandoline mode of mahogany and inlaid with silver, pearl, satin-wood, and phony. A snake with eyes of emeralds and a skull with teeth of ivory are other ornaments of this unique book which is cased in a carved oak casket. Whistling Blackbird. The English town of Walthamstow, Essex, has a blackbird that is an expert whistler. Its whistle is loud and clear—a rare accomplishment for an English blackbird. Its name is "Joe." When "Joe" was being photographed, the other day, the photographer gave him a couple of worms. Whereupon "Joe" whistled notes that Walthamstow understands to mean, "Are you working?" The photographer took the hint, and while he was busy with his camera "Joe" struck up "If you want to know the time ask a policeman." Two dancing ditties were given in admirable time and tune, and in response to a call for an encore "Joe" whistled "The Old Folks at Home" in swinging style. The owner of the bird caught it two years ago when it was a young one, and it took him nearly two years to teach it to become an accomplished whistler. The owner thinks the bird is the largest specimen in the country. It measures eleven inches from the tip of the tail to the end of the beak. Longevity of Birds. It used to be contended that ravens lived longer than any other species of birds, and it was said that their age frequently exceeded a century. Recent studies of the subject indicate that no authentic instance of a raven surpassing seventy years of age is of record. But parrots have been known to attain an age of one hundred years. There is a record of a golden eagle which died at Schoenbrun at the age of 118 years. Another golden eagle was kept in the tower of London for ninety years. A third died at Vienna 104 years old. Geese and swans are tenacious of life, and extraordinary accounts exist of the great age they have attained. Buffon and other authorities have credited them with eighty and one hundred years of life. -Harper's Weekly: Wonderful Rain Tree. That is a wonderful tree which flourishes on Fierro, one of the larger islands of the Canary group. Fierro island is so dry that not even a small rivulet is to be found on it, and for that absence of water a curious compensation is made by nature in providing a tree such as is not found elsewhere. The leaves of this tree are long and narrow and they remain green the year through. The gentle mystery of this tree, as travelers assure us, is a cloud that hovers over it constantly, and condensing into water, saturates the leaves, from which the moisture drops continually and keeps the cisterns which are in excavations beneath them always well filled with water. These rain trees are few on the island, which, it is said, accounts for its sparse population. Starlings as Planters Starlings were first noticed flocking up Cramdon island, a short distance from Edinburgh, in unusual numbers in the autumn of 1899 and they continued to frequent the place for some years until, as is their habit, they deserted it for a fresher and cleaner spot. A recent visit to the island showed a remarkable after result of the starlings' visit. In the small plantation, which consisted of Scots fir trees of stunted growth, there is now a strong showing of bourtree bushes. The starlings feed greedily on the berries of the bourtree and from the seeds there is now grown up a crop of trees introduced by the agency of the starlings.—London Globe. Musical Chicks. A farmer near the town of Sunbury, Pa., has a brood of Rhode Island Red chicks that he claims are musical. Several weeks ago a friend presented to him a setting of eggs from his pet hen. On his way home the farmer stopped at another friend's house, and while he was being entertained the eggs, in a shoe box, were placed on the piano. The friend played several selections during the evening. Going home, the farmer set the eggs under a Plymouth Rock blddy, and twelve chickens were hatched. Now that they have grown big enough to make a noise, each has a "peep" that makes a complete note. When the entire twelve make a noise it sounds like running the musical scale.—Exchange GOWNS FOR INDOORS Highest Type of Sartorial Elegance in Their Construction. Boudoir Toilettes, Whether the Negligee or the Teagown, Are Things of Grace and Beauty—Short or Long Matinees Worn. NEW YORK.—For a quarter of a century past the teagown has steadily been growing in grace and beauty. Each season the special artisfs in that sartorial line, striving to outdo one another, turn out confections of such lovelliness that few feminine economists can resist them. The woman of liberal dress allowance doesn't try to overcome their allure for herself. She simply buys here one and there several of the comfortable garments and only occasionally does she admit that she might have managed with a less number. In fact, the teagown in common with the simpler order of negigees, is the one type of garment not greatly affected by the vagaries of fashion. From season to season there are, to be sure, slight differences made in the sleeves and the trimmings, but the negigee that was the last cry 12 months ago, will look exceedingly smart after it has been cleaned and generally repaired. Flowered chiffons are decidedly in the lead this summer as a teagown material. There is something really picturesque about the folds showing roses, daisies, violets, and the various familiar perennials in natural shades upon a white or creamy ground. When these patterns are blurred by a veiling of shadow or other allover lace the effect is delightfully filmy and illusive. The princess slip of flowered chiffon veiled by an over-robe of lace undeniably makes the most bewitching of all the summer teagowns, but if these materials are a trifle too expensive for the would-be owner of such a model, she may produce practically the same effect by using figured and plain muslin. If she must have something which will endure indefinitely she is advised to test the wearing and laundering qualities of figured China silk and white cotton net. While each and every one of the new teagowns is so made that its wearer may temporarily eliminate her corset, none of the lines is actually voluminous. The straight and slender silhouette belonging to the ordinary frock is partially preserved in the negligee by a system of gathers placed a few inches above the normal waist line. If it this fullness is so cleverly distributed that it is difficult to believe that some of the breadbads are not sharply gored. In many cases the ombre teagown model is built in one piece and shaped to the figure by tacking the garment on to a ribbon and silk lining, which also performs the duties of the brassiere. Ruches and plaitings play a leading role on some of the filestem of the tea gowns. Whether the maternal selector are wholly or semi-transparent, the garmen' must needs be weighted in order to make it fall in below the knees and drag against the carpet as the skirt portion should do if it is to be really effective. Pinked and frayed ruchings of taffeta are put in several rows unless in their place are two-men wide - plaited lengths of silk or satin. Either type of garnishing is at present more fashionable than the inset bands of lace and net, although these, too, are frequently used. But in that event the hem of the robe must be weighted with leads and these are almost certain to wear through the thin fabric. Sashes Give Chic Appearance. Sashes Give Chic Appearance. Sashes add a chic appearance to the boudour toilettes of many sorts, but they are chiefly seen on the flowered chiffons and muslins; or on the empire gowns, which look a bit complicated but are as easily gotten into as is the Cleopatra dress. The Egyptian robe is prettiest in a plain silk bordered about the neck and sleeves with a handbag of ribbon having an oriental pattern in gold or silver. The robe, which is drawn over the head after the manner of a football player's sweater, fastens over the shoulders. That is to say, the seams running from the throat to the arm-tops are hooked of lace after the robe has been adjusted. Fichus of self material are frequently used to cover the figure from throat to waist line. They greatly simplify the matter of trimming that portion of the negligee and may be draped to become a figure of either slender or plump proportions. But they are always prettiest if the chosen fabric is chiffon, muslin or not, as the soft folds may be brought far over the sleeves and the edging of the one made to serve as a finish for the elbows of the other. A wide collar of lace or net or lawn is the prettiest of all the garnishings for a hot weather negligee and nearly always such an accessory may be placed out by adding a ruffle of contrasting sheer material or a band of coarse net covered with tiny ruchings of ribbon. Length a Matter of Choice. Length of matter or choice. The short matinee is equally as fashionable as the long matinee and the choice of one should be governed by whether the figure looks best in a 24 or a 40 inch jacket. There is, however, this to be said in favor of the greater length, that with it a less elaborate petticoat will answer. And as the matinee nigelgilee wearer generally expects to use various passe evening petticoats with the one jacket she would best seriously consider their conditions before purchasing a short boucir jacket of singerie and lace, or flowered materials or of silk and ribbons. Combing jackets are mere apologies for shoulder coverings. Nearly all of them are cut after the Egyptian manner in two pieces, including the elbow sleeves, but, instead of hooking or buttoning the shoulder openings, the neck is made wide enough to admit the head and the garment is allower to shake itself into position. After the hair has been dressed, however, no risks are taken, and the ribbons tied into a big bow on the shoulders are loosened, thus making an opening that permits the garment to drop to the floor as does a petticoat. Even more scanty is the fichu combing jacket cut like an enormous shoulder cape with deeply pointed back and fronts. Under the arms the edges of this cape are tied together with broad ribbons and, to a certain extent, form sleeves. But the fichu negligee does not permit the same freedom of movement afforded by the Egyptian jacket. Nor is it so modest looking. Latest Models the Prettiest Latest Models the Prettiest Several changes are noted in the shaping of the klonosons of flowered silk, muslin or challie and the new cuts are undeniably an improvement upon the former models. Most of all marked is the treatment of the back form, which is now slightly gored from the neck to the hips. The straight cut front forms are gathered into a neck band which is a continuation of the one bordering the garment and the narrow straight sleeves are set into long shoulders and really cover the arms. Glove silk lingerie has evidently come to remain indefinitely. And small wonder, for there, seems to be no "wear out" to it. Mdrever, it fits the figure as nothing in linen, batiste, crepe de chine or China silk can hope to do. Made on precisely the same lines as the lingerie garments in other materials and trimmed with hand embroidery or lace, it is exquisitely dainty and a real boon to the woman who X must economize on laundry, since it may be handbasin washed as readily as a pair of silk gloves. Virtue of the "Mule." Mules are fetching creations of brocaded or figured silk, lined with plain satin, edged around their tops with ruchings of lace or ribbon and secured by bands of ribbon which wind about the insteps in sandal manner. "They absolutely must match the color of the negilgee, but obviously should be of a less perishable fabric. Hand-embroidery in self-color borders a jacket matinee of white china silk which is modeled after the prevailing lines of the tailored cutaway with the exception of the under-arm seams which are straight instead of slightly curved. The wide, turned-over collar of all-over Valenclennes is edged with the same lace and fastens under a knot of white satin ribbon. Near the waist line, other ribbons starting from under the plaiting of chiffon edging the entire jacket, are loosely tied against a waistcoat of accordion-plaited chiffon. The English cap of white satin ribbon entre deux with Valenclennes, is trimmed with lace and ribbon and the gored petticoat is of white charmuse. Use of the Loranette. With the tailored summer sult of white mohair or serge the ultra-smart young woman is wearing a monocle lorgnette, which swings from a narrow black ribbon of grosgrain silk, upon which are tiny slides of gold. These small lorgnettes, which fold together like a single glass, give a smart and sophisticated suggestion to the costume, and as a lorgnette is never a cheap trinket—a suggestion of elegance also. For the dainty and useful gown pictured, turquoise blue delaine is used. It has a big, prettily shaped collar of the material, edged with white Valenciennes lace and trimmed with two rows of insertion to match. the cuffs being also trimmed to match. A girdle of white silk cord draws the gown in at waist; silk pom-poms trim the ends of girdle. Materials required: 5 yards delaine 40 inches wide, 6 yards insertion, 3½ yards lace. Subjugating Peter By PHILIP KEAN (Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press. "He's a woman hater," said Phyllis. "Why?" Peggy was curled upon the foot of the bed. She had on a pink crepe kimono and pointed Turkish slippers embroidered in silver. "Why should any man be a woman hater?" she demanded again. "A girl jilted him," said Phyllis, "when he was only twenty-one. We are all crazy about him, but it doesn't do any good." "You'd be, too, Peggy, if you could see him. He's tall and athletic and he wears the most correct clothes—mostly white flannels or rough Norfolk things that make him look picturesque. But you might as well try to get near a hermit. He never looks at a woman." "Oh, doesn't be?" Peggy uncurled herself and crossed the room. She stood in front of her dresser and gazed long and earnestly into the mirror. "Doesn't he?" she said again. - "Now, Peggy," Phyllis said, regarding her thoughtfully, "you needn't think—" Peggy turned and looked at her. "I don't think," she said, "I know." "But other girls have failed to subjugate him," said Phyllis; "why should you expect to succeed." "I'm not going to try," said Peggy, dellerately, "to make him fall in love with me—I'm not quite such a shallow thing as that, Phyllis. But I'm going to make him notice me, and I'm going to do it in a perfectly lady-like fashion." Phyllis surveyed her wrathfully. "It would do you good to be brought down from your stilts, Peggy," she stated. Peggy crossed the room swiftly and threw her arms around her friend's neck. "Don't you love me, Phyllis, darling!" she demanded. Phyllis kissed her. "Yes, I love you, and that's why—I hope—be'll bring you down from your stilts—Peggy." And the next morning Peggy watched Peter Powell, millionaire and bachelor, saunter forth for a walk, leaving behind him on the hotel porch a line of exquisitely gowned and graceful girls, among whom were Phyllis and herself. Peggy turned to Phyllis. "What are the habits of—the creature?" she demanded. Phyllis considered. "He walks a great deal. Before breakfast he tramps toward the top of the mountain with his dogs. Then, about this time, he goes fishing; in the afternoon he rides, and at nights he tramps off again with his dogs." "Sociable being," remarked Peggy. Two days later, Peter, climbing the mountain to see the sun rise came to an empty log hut. Lived in, long ago, by a mountain family, it had been deserted for years. But now there was smoke coming from the open, and among the shadows he could, see an old colored woman moving heavily back and forth. Wondering a little, he went on and up. As he-reached the summit a rosy glow overspread the world, and in that transfiguring light his eyes made out the form of a woman. She was plicking wild blackberries and she had on a pink sunbonnet. She seemed young and slender, but her faded gingham gown hid the lines of her figure. Peter, wondering a little to find her there so early, whistled to his dogs and went on. When he had passed the girl raised her head and looked at him, then she laughed gleefully and fled back down the mountain. When Peter came once more to the log hut, the front door was open. A table was set within the little porch. It was a quaint old table of polished mahogany. In the center was a silver bowl full of wild roses. Another silver bowl held blackberries. The old colored woman came out with cream and butter and nodded to Peter. "You mus' come up and git yo' breakfast here," she said; "we's goin' to serve folks what wants something different from the hotel." Peter stopped. "Do you mean," he asked, eagerly, "that I can have breakfast now?" The old woman nodded. "Deed you can," she said, "an' I will have waffles if you want 'um." She vanished and Peter took his place at the table, noting the fineness of the linen and the exquisiteness of the silver. The dogs lay at his feet, but raised their heads as a girl came out with light step. It was the girl he had seen on the mountain top. Her gunbonnet was off, and her brown hair was braided in one long braid that fell below her waist. Her faded gingham gown was turned in neatly at the neck, and showed her white throat. She spoke to Peter. "Aunt Dilsey wants to know if you will have chicken or trout? I am afraid we shall have to ask you to wait a little." Peter was on his feet at once. "Tell her I'll have the trout by all means—and I don't mind the waiting if there are to be waffles at the end of it." Peggy caught her breath—for Peggy it was. She had not dreamed that he could be so charming. Yet he hated—women. Peter seeing the flush on her checks, talked lightly to set her at erre. "You should have opened a piece farther down," he said, "not because of the hotel guests get up here; it's too much of a climb." "Oh, I know," she breathed. "I don't expect many—but Aunt Dilsey thought that a few—would help." "Is there just you—and Aunt Dilsey?" he asked. "Yes." The breakfast was delicious. The waffles were as light as a feather, the coffee perfect. The girl who waited on the table blushed as he asked the price of his breakfast. "Oh, I don't know," she said, "you see, we are just beginning." "Half of that," she quavered, when he offered her a dollar, and when he had gone she flew out to Aunt Dilsey. "You take it," she said. "Oh, I didn't dream it would be so dreadful!" The next morning Peter came again. "Do you have many customers?" "Not yet." Phyllis was mystified. "Where see you, Peggy?" she demanded in mailed to a distant postoffice. "Ever since you disappeared I have been wild to know what you are doing. And what about Peter? Aren't you coming back to subjugate him?" But Peter showed no signs of subjugation. He was considerate and polite, but nothing more. Then came one Sunday morning, with Aunt Dilsey slick, and Peggy all in a flutter. "Oh, will you help me—please?" she begged, as Peggy came up to the porch; "we need a doctor—" The doctor found Aunt Dilsey so ill that he stayed for hours, and downstairs Peter helped a white-faced girl to hold on to her self-control. "You see," she whispered, "she nursed me when I was a baby—She's my dear old mammy—and there's no one else." Presently Peter asked: "Do you mean that there is no one else who loves you?" "Yes." "There is some one else," said Peter steadily. "I love you." Peggy subbed wildly. "Oh, you mustn't—you don't know what I am—you don't know." "I do know," he said, and his grave face was illumined. "I know that you are very dear and sweet." "I'm not," she stood up and faced him. "Hush," sternly, "there is nothing you can do which will make you—unworthy—" "I'm not poor," Peggy lips were white. "I am rich. I came to the hotel down there—and everybody said you were a woman hater, and I made up my mind that I show you that—one woman—could—" His face was white now. "Then you made all of this elaborate preparation — to subjugate me?" "Oh, not in the way you think. I didn't dream that you would love me — that you were so fine—so wonderful—" "Look at me," he said, masterfully, "and tell me the truth. You say that you have found me—fine. Do you mean that you could love me?" "I mean," she said, steadily, "that I do love you—that all my life my heart must ache, when I think how you despise me." In that moment of despair she felt herself enfolded by two strong arms. "Would you cling to me in riches—or in poverty—in sickness or in health—is your love of that sort, Peggy?" She hid her face against his arm. "My love is my life," she whispered. CONVEX MIRROR DID THE JOB Diabolical Conception Peculiar to Summer Resorts Cured Little Bobby of Vanity. Bobby, a little New Yorker, had his first real boy clothes. He was no longer a girl. The ignominy of skirts had departed afar off. He had emerged into the dignity of a suit—knickers and Norfolk jacket, with a belt—the real thing, tending toward the estate of "big man." The elation which is usual on such occasions were augmented in Bobby's case by the fact that he had a large number of relatives, mostly feminine, who rejoiced with him and who were loud in their expressions of approval. "How well he looks!" "Doesn't he look handsome?" "He'll soon be a real man!" "How becoming his new clothes are!" and similar auntie rhapsodies soon had Bobby's masculine vanity working overtime. In the afternoon of the same day Bobby was taken by the large and admiring family to Coney Island. This was a more than ordinarily good opportunity to show off and Bobby made the most of it. Not one of the family realized that thus far the young man had not seen his transformed self in a mirror. One of the first things they encountered at Coney was a large mirror of the convex variety, and one of the aunties delightedly steered Bobby in front of it, while the family looked on with suppressed smiles. Bobby looked. A puzzled, disturbed expression spread over his face. He looked at the family and they were all as solemn as ghosts. "How do you like your new clothes?" one of them asked. Bobby made no reply. He looked at himself, then at the mirror again, then turned away, in cold dignity, but from that day to this vanity is a quality which makes its appearance no more in Bobby's mentality. A White Light impression. "I understand that some of the New York streets were originally paths followed by the cows," said a man with a guide book. "Is that go!" replied the Broadway policeman. "Well, those old Dutch settlers must have had some sporty cattle." 10 PAT Hutson's 88 H Hutson's 88 H 36 Fever Tom Nya's Stone H All 25 cents T We save you Our prescript Your doctor w Pate Phones 4710 an CUR MOTION LET US DO Sho We have - Neat our WORK d ed.
