Despite the protests of Jane Addams and many others, the party of "progress," which bases its hopes for success on its programme of social justice, committed the injustice of throwing out the Negro delegates from the South, declaring for a "illy-white" policy there, and adopted its platform without a single reference of any kind to the colored man. The terrible injustice done him the country over; the denial of civic and political rights guaranteed to him; his practically complete disfranchisement in the South—all of these things were forgotten because the apostle of justice himself hopes, with what Jane Addams herself called "statesmanlike (?) policy," to break up the solid South. So the Negroes, even those who worked for Roosevelt in the Taft Convention, were flung aside—just as he would fling aside any body or set of men when it served his purpose to do so. The jews, themselves, to whom he has toodied and whom he has flattered by high appointments, he would discard as readily as he has Mr. Taft, Mr. Root, and his other tried friends and cabinet associates, should there be no political profit to be gained by taking an anti-Semitic position. If there is any one group of men and women in this country suffering from oppression, it is the colored people; but the party of social justice is to think only of wrongs done to whites! Undoubtedly, Mr. Roosevelt is certain that before the campaign is far along he will win back the disaffected Negroes. He has beyond question achieved what seemed the impossible in regaining the affections of many disgruntled whites in the South after the Booker Washington luncheon, and of the Negroes after the Brownsville episode. His friends will not hesitate to use money in his behalf and the Negro himself, slow to anger and easy-going, may recall those handsome actions of Roosevelt in the White House, and those manly and just letters on the Negro question, the hypocrisy of which he has now so clearly demonstrated. Perhaps, the Negro will be fooled again as he has been so many times before. Yet we cannot think this so likely this time: for there is increasing independence of thought among the educated colored people and a growing realization of their latent political power. As Mr. Andrew B. Humphrey pointed out the other day, 600,000 Negroes in twenty two States may elect the next President. They would, if they could but stand together, if they had but the group-consciousness and solidarity so marked among others in our cosmopolitan population. It is unnecessary to say that if they had this political cohesiveness, Mr. Roosevelt would prefer their votes to the Southernners who he hopes, will give him the electoral vote of North Carolina or Georgia or Alabama. But he knows that it is impossible to trace a single political outcome, even in Ohio, to the colored voters as a whole. He himself, as Republican President and also as a delegate to one Republican Convention after the other since 1884, helped to fool the Negroes with sollenn promises about the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, which were cavalierly disregarded after the votes were in. Like his Republican associates, he has pulled the wool over their eyes so often as to feel certain of his ability to do it again, and the chances are in his favor. Yet year by year independence does grow among the colored voters. If many vote for Roosevelt this year, it will help to break that tie with the Republican party which has kept the bulk of the Negroesin thraldom to it. By so much more will the habit of independent voting be established; while those among them who have seen through Roosevelt at last, will thereby be rendered the less likely to worship false gods hereafter. That Mr. Roosevelt did not see fit to placate the race by one of these platitudinous expressions of sympathy that leave a grateful feeling with those whom it is intended to help, yet butter no parsnip, is a genuine surprise. He seems to have lost some of his political skill. That the whole episode will embitter the unhappy lot of the Ne- SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 17 1912 Supreme Grand Lodge Knights of Dumon. The Supreme Grand Lodge of the Knights of Damon will meet in annual session at Harris street hall Monday, August nineteenth. The session will last three days. It will be presided over by Supreme Grand Commander Robert L. Jones. It is expected that quite a large delegation from all parts of Georgia and South Carolina will be in attendance. The Courts of Hermonie and the Juveniles will take part in the session. One day will be given to them for the transaction of business. On Tuesday the Uniform ranks of the order and its subordinate lodges will parade through the principal streets of the city. Much interest is being manifested in this particular feature and the parade promises to be very creditable. The members of the order in the city are making great preparations for the entertaining of the delegates and visitors, and there is no doubt that their short stay here will be a pleasant one. Notice By the authority vested in me by the President of the Sunday school Convention of the Berean Baptist Association, all delegates and Sunday school workers are hereby notified that the Twelfth Annual Session of the Convention will be held at Elm Grove Baptist Church, Meridian, Ga., on Friday before the fourth Lord's day in August 1912. On account of the recent death of our Secretary and other important matters a large delegation is earnestly asked, also an increase along financial lines. Pastors and Superintendents are expected to accompany their delegate. A special coach has been provided for all those desiring to go, which will leave the Union Station at 3 30, Thursday August 22nd. Rev. R. H. Thomas, President Julia C. Woodruff, Acting Seey. groes of the country, let no one doubt. It is difficult for those who are enfranchised and socially free to realize how terrible the burden this race bears; how staggering the handicaps and how helpless it is without the ballot to rectify the wrongs. Two recent happenings in the South are especially omnious. Our readers will recall how Mr. Roosevelt and the leading white men of the South have applauded Booker Washington's advice to the Negro to acquire property, to be industrious and law-abiding as the true way to racial and civic happiness. Well, in Mooresville, N. C., a self-respecting colored carpenter bought real estate some years ago in the a decent section of the city; when he began to build his own home on it the City Council passed an ordinance forbiddidg it. In Greensville, N. C., two brothers were prevented by segregation ordinance from purchasing a $65,000 piece of property they had contracted for. The representatives of Anglo Saxon culture who owned the property refused to return the $150 paid for the purchase-option on the ground that the brothers had broken their contract! In Georgia, last June, Anne Bostwick, a Negress, who had been previously declared insane, killed the white woman who employed her. She was shot to death by a mob of white men, defenders of Anglo-Saxon superiority. It is, of course, impossible for the colored population to hold the officials responsible or to participate in the election of others who will uphold them in their constitutional rights as to the owning of property or guarantee them the protection of the law when they are accused of crime. They are helpless and hopeless, for they are without remedy And the Progressive party, according to its leader, says that, because there have been venal Negro delegates at Republican conventions in the past (by whose votes he has hitherto been only too glad to profit), this oppressed race shall have no representatives in the party of social justice! A distinguished Russian professor, recently visiting in this country, on learning that ten millions of people suffer all the hardships of both the Russian peasant and the Russian Jew, exclaimed: "Heavens, how can they stand it?" The answer is that they must not stand it. Mr. Roosevelt's falsity to it will be of genuine value if it will stimulate them to further efforts in their own behalf, and strengthens their growing determination to stand as a solid phalanx on behalf of their rights—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.—The Evening Post, New York, August 8th. An Open Letter To The Colored Citizens of Savannah Savannah, Ga., Aug. 15th, 1912. The Colored Public Library has been thoroughly advertised all over the city of Savannah. The fact of Mr. Carnegie's gift of $12,000.00 and the city agreeing to appropriate $1200.00 a year with which to maintain and support it, and the further fact that the only condition necessary to consummate the transaction is the gift of a suitable site on which to place this building, are well known to us. And now the site has been purchased on Henry St. East. You have pledged yourselves to the various members of the Board of Curators and others who have solicited for this enterprise sufficient money to pay for this lot. Now, the time has come to cease talk and to act. We need the money to pay for this lot. You have agreed and promised to give it, and now give it. Do not wait for some one to call on you for it. You know it is your duty to give it, you know it is needed now, so send or give it to any one of the Board of Curators and it is safe. If you do not feel disposed to do this, deposit it with The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company, The Mechanics' Investment Company or the Merchants National Bank and any one or all of these concerns will see to it that it is devoted to the purpose for which it is given. This money must be raised and paid over within the next week and it is up to every single colored person in the city of Savannah to do his part toward this affair. You are on trial and if you fail it will be eternal shame and disgrace. Trusting that you will do your full duty in this matter, I am Respectfully A. L. Tucker, Chairman Board of Curators.

NUMBER 48 TWO SOLDIERS KILL THEIR AGED HOSTESS They Are Sentenced to Death by Court Martial for the Unusually Brutal Murder. SHOW VICTIM'S SKULL Wanted Money for Their Amusement, and Finding the Old Woman Alone, Beat Her to Death With a Club, After Struggle for Life. Parls.—Two young soldiers belonging to an infantry regiment have been sentenced to death by the court martial sitting at Le Mans. On the second Sunday in October these men, whose names are Tisseau and Nolot, murdered under extremely shocking circumstances an old farm woman, who had treated them in a most hospitable manner. They wanted money for their amusements, and, arriving about noon at the house they asked the old woman, who was alone, to give them some refreshment, a request with which she willingly complied. As they were eating Mme. Luceau talked to them about her husband, who had fought in the war of 1870, and said that he was expecting the medal for it. She went to a warfare, took from it some documents which she and the veteran treasured, showed them with pride to the two soldiers, and then they spoke of the heroism which had been displayed by the French troops. So indignant was the colonel who presided at the trial when all this was related that he exclaimed, "So you, who were wearing the uniform of the army, had no pity on this poor woman?" "No," replied Nolot, "the conversation had even made us forget our project, and we were going to leave empty-handed when Tisseau reminded me with a glance that we had to A man is sitting on the floor, looking up at a woman standing behind him. The woman is leaning forward, pointing at the man. The floor is covered with scattered objects, including a ball and a stick. He Struck One Blow. march." The soldiers shook hands with their hostess as they bade her farewell, a fact which evoked another emphatic protest from the president. Then the narrative of the crime was continued. Nolot said: "First of all I took the woman's head under my arm and threw her down. She only said, "I am not rich, but do not kill me. I will give you everything I have." She got up and then Tisseau threw her down again and made a sign to me. Taking a thick stick, which he held out to me, I said, "Oh, we must have done with this!" and I struck one blow, which was enough. Then we searched the wardrobe and left with seventeen francs, which wee shared as we went along." "You certainly hit hard," remarked the president, and, undoing a parcel, he added, "Look, here are some bits of your victim's skull." The two young soldiers hung their heads and did not utter a word. In the course of the trial it transpired that the two men, whose antecedents were the reverse of respectable and who had been in the habit of bragging about them to their comrades, had previously contemplated the murder of another old woman dwelling in a lonely farmhouse, and also of a wealthy citizen residing at Le Mans, as well as the bunglar of a jeweler's establishment at La Fleche, winding up with a plan for the murder of a corporal in their company, with whom they were on friendly terms, in order to obtain possession of his savings bank book, the plan being that they should hide his corpse and spread a report that he had deserted. The verdict of the court martial was unanimous. Attention Calanthlans: Wanted at once medium size, quick stepping and medium height ladies to join the Ladies Uniform Ranks.

He first gained prominence in Haytian affairs in 1908, when, as minister of the interior in thé cabinet of President Nord Alexis, he was credited with ordering the summary Shooting of 10 prominent resolution- aries at Port au Prince. When the regime of Nord Alexis was brought to an end shortly after- ward, 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 de- feated and Leconte took refuge in the German Consulate at Cape Hastian, later being sent from the island under German protection. Leconte returned to Hajti in May last year and succeeded in overthrow- ing President Simon. He was a mulatto, between 40 and 60 years of age, and belonged to the legal profession. eo SON FATALLY SHOT. : Father Rushing To His Side Is Seri- ouly Injured. | Scranton, Pa.—When an automobile was ditched near Clk Place, Susque- hanna county, Capt.

No one was hit. ‘There were no arrests. Three shots were first fired from the Mexican side, striking a house be- longing to C. H. Cole. After the first three or more shots were heard the soldiers on guard on the American side opened fire toward Mexico. The bullets then came faster from the Mexfean side, one of them strlk- ing A. D. Martinez’s house. The houses of Messrs. Curtis, Willams and Yonkers, near the river, were struck by bullets, as was the roof of one of the El Paso foundry bulldings. | After the persons on the Mexfean side ‘of the river had fired 30 or 40 times they ceased, and the American sol- diers went toward the river to investl- gate. . At this moment a posse Composed of Sheriff Peniton J. Edwards and depu- ties arrived and started a search of ‘the thick brush growing in the old ‘river bed, No trace of the men who fired trom the Mexican side could be ‘found. The police officers returned, leaviug turther investigation to the soldiers. It was the opinion of some of the residents of that section that the firing had been done by Mexican rebels, to draw the attention of the American soldiers, so that a quantity of ammunt- tion could be smuggled across the river at another point. A careful in- \estigation is being made by the offi- cers in command of the two battalions of infatnry. Washington.—Neither Consul Ed- wards, at Juarez, nor Colonel Steever, at El Paso, mentioned the firing across the line in thelr reports. Officials here are disposed to minimize the af- fair. The State Department has’ given some attention to the question that would be presented with a sudden crossing of the Rio Grande by Orozco and his army. International law re- quires that such troops be disarmed and interned until the end of hostili- tYeg. But there wre no domestic statutes bearing upon thé casé nor is there any appropriation which may be drawn upon to feed and mantain such an alien force, It might be necessary te appeal to Congress for ah appro- priation if an attempt were made by the rebels to cross into Texas. Egg Dealers Lose Money. Washington. —Mare than $45,000,000 is lost every year by American egg producers and dealers through im- proper handling, according to the ex- perts of the Department of Agricul- ture, The department has addressed an open letter to buyers and shippers, appealing to them to undertake to eliminate the enormous losses due to small eggs, cracked and broken eggs, stale, heated and rotten eggs. Federal Aid For Public Read&. Washington—Federal ald for public roads was considered in the Senate. ‘The good roads provision put into the Postoffice Appropriation Bill by the House was defended by Senator Snlith, of South Carolina, who said the government should pay its pro rata share of the cost of keeping up roads used for transportation of mails or other Federal purpeses. Omnibue Bill To Go Over. Washington.—No action will be taken by the Senate at this session on the Omnibus Claims Bill carrying over $819,000 in old Civil War claims against the government. The $850,000 French spoliation claims, rejected by the House when it passed the omni. bus bill, will be offered as an amend. ment when the measure comes up in the Senate. Had Thrilling Experience on Sinking Steamer. BRAVERY AND COOLNESS. Heroic Work By the Captains and Crews Of Colliding Ships Prevent Loss Of Life—Vessels Crash & atc” Duluth, Minn.—Five women, who, clad only in their night dress, were rescued from the steamer James Gay- ley .when that vessel sank off Bani. ton after collision with the steamer Renssalaer, arrived here. They were scantly clad and had to replenish thelr wardrobes here. When the collision occurred the five women and 19 members of the ‘erew of the James Gayley were taken on the Renssalaer, but that boat, hav- ing been damaged in the bow by ic collision, it was feared she mig not be safe, so the rescued passenger: «nd crew of the James Gayley were ain transferred, this time to the steamc™ Stadacona. Mate A. H, Norton and three other men were picked up from a yaw! boat by the Corlisa, consort of the Rengsalaer, and taken to the Soo. Heroic work by- Capt MoM Sten- art, of the James Gayley, and Capt. C D. Secord, of the Renssalaer, with the crews of both vessels prevented loss of life. Quickly and calmly the two captains and Yheir men went about the work of rescue and Captain Stewart did not leave his ship till just before she sank, which she did 20 minutes after the collisfon, but not before every soul on board had been taken off. The James Gayley and her cargo of 7,109 tons of coal is a total loss. She ‘was not insured and the loss will be $500,000. The Renssalaer was badly damaged, but her bulkheads held her up and she came into Marquette un- der her own steam. ‘Mrs. Russell, who is the Wife of a prominent vessel man, paid grateful tribute to the bravery and coolness of Captain Stewart and his men. - POISONED COFFEE KILLS.

WILSON NOTIFIED OF NOMIATIO Ceremonies Held At Sea Girt—Ollle James Makes the Notification Ad- dress—Distingulshed Company Gathers On Lawn. Sea Girt, N. J.—Gov. Woodrow Wil- son of New Jersey was officially in- formed that he had been chosen by the Baltimore Convention as the nominee for the Presidency on the Democratic ticket. Briefly and simply the Governor was notified of his nomination by Sen- ator-elect Ollie James of Kentucky, who- emphasized, ag he said, that the Governor had obtained the honor un- trammeled by obligations and unem- ee 4 Ry ci = copmin, i es es ff a ES ae Prag Oo Ces fists, Ka / Bee FS is = Woodrow Wilson. barrassed by affiliations of any kind. Though the Governor spoke, in ac- ceptance, theoretically to the 52 mem- bers of the committee, representing every State and Territory in the Union, the speech, sounding the depths of his political philosophy, was heard by a great throng of over 6,000. Prominent Democrats, Governors of many States, their families, members of the Women’s National Democratic League, and a multitude of seashore folk, most of them in the garb of the seashore, came from up and down the Jersey coast to attend the exercises. From the broad veranda of the white-coated house ,where the Gover- nors of New Jersey are wont to spend their summers the speeches were de- Inered. Grouped beneath wide-spread- ing willows and elms were the more’ prominent guests, hedged in by clumps of ferns and ‘bushes. Mr. James praised the candidate and his achievements and bespoke a harmonious party with “no disgrun- tled Democrats sulking in their tents.” He attacked both President Taft and former President Roosevelt, and held up the Republican party as “disheartened, discouraged and dis- organized.” The Republican conduct of trust prosecution was condemned, He de clared the Democrats were pledged to “felon’s stripes,” for ‘great malefac- tors. “Big business” was promised support if legitimate, and the Demo- cratic party was pledged to take the } \ . lf We tariff out of politics when the “trust fed barons take their larcenouh hands out of the pockets of the American people.” The motto “thou shalt not steal,” was a plagiarism from Democratic faith, Mr. James ald, and he express- ed belief in the charges both Prest- dent Taft and former President Roose- velt have made against each other. Governor Wilson read from his manuscript. The platform, he said, was not a program but a practical document intended to show “That we know what the nation is thinking about and what it’ls most concerned about.” The people, he added, were about to be asked not, particularly to adopt a platform but to entrust the Democratic party with “office and power and the guidance of their af- fairs," and their desire now was to know what “translation of action and policy he intends to give to the gen- eral terms of the platform, should he be elected.” THE PROGRESSIVES’ STANDARD BEARERS Many Seconding Speeches — Jane Addams the First Woman To Second Presidential Nomina- tion— Platform Adopted.

WHY CONNIE STONE CHANGED HER MIND Chance Remarks Heard in a Bridle Path Unite Two Loving Hearts. The path followed the windings of the well-macadamized highway and afforded a leafy, shaded way for several miles before it took a sudden, unexpected turn and wandered off through the deep woods to the river and the bridge. Connie Stone rode dreamily along the bridle path, her brown eyes fixed on the green perspective ahead. From the highway came the sound of swiftly flying motor cars and the rumble of carriage wheels to the accompaniment of horses' hoofs. "It would be lovely if it were not for the noises from the road," sighed Connie at last. She flicked Brown Ben lightly so that they would reach the turn in the path and ride toward the river. "Ah, I wish something might happen—something perfectly lovely!" she sighed again. "My life is so cut and dried—plenty of money and even my future husband selected for me! If Uncle Rémus had only spared me that. The very fact that I am bound to marry Phil Baring has prejudiced me against him. I can't bear him—I wish he would go away!" This unhappy victim of match-making parents and a worldly old uncle and guardian sulked openly as she rode along, for now her grievance against the world in genemil, and Phil Barling in particular, quite overpowered her delight in the fresh morning air. A saddle girth had slipped and Connie alighted and bent to tighten it. As she did so, standing there in the green-brown woods only a stone's throw from the highway, she heard a motor car jar to a sandstill close at hand and two feminine volces engaged in conversation. "—— and we all think it was perfectly horrid of old Remus Barrie to agree with the girl's parents that when Phil was twenty-five he should marry the girl. No. I've never seen her, but you may take it for granted that she's a fright, Adele! If she were not her parents wouldn't have been to such palms to marry her off." "And so Phil isn't quite happy over "And so Phil isn't quite happy over it?" asked a lazily amused voice. "Wretched! Why—you know, my dear, it's no secret that he's breaking his heart over little me—and there's that fright of an helpless standing like a mountainous wall of money bags between us. Of course, Phil couldn't marry me without some of his father's fortune—and there you are." "Poor Elizabeth!" derided the voice of Adele. "If you only knew Phil Baring was free to marry, you wouldn't care two pins for him!" "Adele!" "And so he has poured out his troubles to you?" "No. He isn't that sort, and you know it, Adele. Only he looks miserable, and I understand the reason." The motor suddenly started noisily and drew away from the spot where Connie Stone stood, a crimsoned, palpitating eavesdropper. With a swift movement she pulled out a gold vanity case and scanned her reflection in the little mirror. She saw a blushing face framed in a mist of jet black hair, brown eyes with golden specks in them, a perfect nose and mouth and a white chin with a deep dimple. "If she calls me a fright, I wonder what she looks like!" exclaimed the indignant Miss Stone, and she mounted Brown Ben and flashed down the bridle path. As she rode along the leafstrewn way she thought of her first meeting with Phil Baring. He had returned from a long residence abroad, and although he was a very grave, goodlooking young man without much do say for himself, Connie had mistaken his silence for awkwardness and she was angry with him from the beginning. When he did try to be agreeable and displayed some admiration for this cousin who was to be his bride. Connie became contrary and erratic in her moods. Somehow she felt that his admiration was affected. He was trying to play his part. And all the time he was in love with a horrid creature named Elizabeth, who shrieked when she talked. Connie could have spared herself any qualms—he was not in love with her. He was miserable at the idea of this foreordained marriage. He was unhappy. "I hate him!" cried Coonle as she flew around the sharp bend away from the high road and into the stillness of the thick woods. Here the trees grew gnarled and unshapely, bending down from the high, mossy banks on both sides to form arches overhead. A scarlet tanager flashed across the road and made a spot of gorgeous color against a brown tree trunk. A hermit thrush sang from some hidden covert and a thrill of unearthly happiness was in his tender notes. Tears sprang to Connie's eyes for this love and happiness that would not be hers. "I ought to have had a chance——" Her mutinous voice broke sharply, for ahead of her there came the thud of hoofs on the bridle path. She drew Brown Ben aside under the trees as the hoof beats became louder. Then a black mare streaked past and disappeared in the direction whence Connie had come. Connie felt sick and faint. The black mare was Phil Baring's favorite mount and the saddle was empty. In another instant Brown Ben was flying down the path and Connie's eyes were half fearfully searching for a limp form in the road. All at once she came upon it. A still gray-clad form stretched beside the road. Connie slipped from her horse and knelt beside the form of her flance. "Phil,' oh, Phil!" she cried brokenly as she slipped a warm little palm under his cheek and endeavored to turn his face to hers. Slowly his eyes opened and stared at her in wide surprise. Stiffly he turned, rose to an elbow—a perfectly sound and good elbow, to Connie's amazement—sat upright, stared again at Connie, at Brown Ben and then gazed around in startled fashion. "Where's Nellybird?" he cried, jumping to his feet. "Oh, are you all right?" cried Connie, standing beside him. "You see, I met your mare running away—and I—I thought you were dead or hurt—and so I came." She paused with a little break in her voice. "You came and found me napping beside the road—Nellybird must have become frightened and bolted. I'm sorry, Connie——I hope you were not disappointed at finding me unhurt?" He smiled rather wryly at this pretty distant cousin. Connie tried to smile, blinked and suddenly began to cry softly. "Connie! You didn't care, did you?" he asked in a sharp whisper. "Of course you wouldn't believe me if I swore that I loved you and that your coldness is making me wretched—but, ah! Connie, do you care? Can you?" Connie found her answer when their eyes met, and what she said was perfectly satisfactory to Phil Baring. Love had performed a bit of magic that June morning, for he had turned a plain bridle path into a rose-strewn bridal way. PUT MUCH RELIANCE ON ANT Use of the Little Insect In Medicine and Surgery Has Been Well-Nigh Universal. Among the last of the remedies provocative of nausea of the imagination to disappear from the lists of official remedies have been preparations made from ants. Such preparations, however, have not obtained much recognition in this country even among the wise old women in domestic practice though in parts of Europe they are yet in use. Ant baths, made by boiling ants in water, are yet in use by Bavarian peasant for rheumatism and gout, and also in Hessen and in Hungary. In Bohemia, it is said, for paralysis of the lower limbs patients are placed in an ant hill and allowed to remain until the whole body is covered by the insects, which are then shaken off when the cure is effected. In Brandenburg an aching tooth is rubbed with blood by means of a crust of bread and the crust is then placed in an ant hill. Impoverishment of blood is cured by means of an egg buried in the hill of the large red ants. The eggs must have been laid by a pure white or pure black hen, and must have been found when still warm. In Oberwalz the crushed eggs and larvae of ants are stirred up with cream and used as a remedy for colic. A salve made from wood ants, dog fat and coal dust is said to be used by Hungarian gypsies against goiter. There is also in use in Montevideo the "ant suture," in domestic surgery. Those who had been bitten by ants noticed that the heads remained clinging to the skin when the body was torn away, being held in place by the powerful mandibles. The idea was thus suggested that the ant's jaws could be used to close the edges of wounds. The edges of the cut are pressed together, an ant is held so that its jaws will grasp both sides and its head is cut off. Several are applied along the wound and serve instead of the usual catgut stitches. STAND ASIDE FOR ELEPHANT Animals of the Jungle Have Well-Recognized Etiquette Observed at Drinking Places. A moving picture firm has been taking some remarkable pictures at a water-hole in Abyssinia of animals which come there from miles around to quench their thirst. It is the etiquette of the jungle for the elephant to drink first. No matter how many animals are around the water hole, they all stand aside for the greatest beast of all. Many of the animals come 40 or 50 miles for a drink, and there is a truce between even the most deadly, enemies. After the elephant comes the rhinoceros. Although most of the other animals observe the water-hole truce faithfully, two rhinos will fight over their precedence. The cinematograph operator obtained wonderful pictures of two of these huge animals going at it hammer and tongs. The fight only ended by one of the animals being killed. When the rhinoceros had finished the giraffes drink their fill, followed by zebras. Zebras always travel in herds, and sometimes 40 or 50 will arrive at the water hole at a time. According to the etiquette of the jungle, however, they only come in fourth for the drinking stakes. The first four animals are fixed in order, but the rest get a drink just how and when they can.—Pearson's Weekly. A Political Wrangle. "I hear your club was divided over recommending a suffrage plank for the Democratic platform." "Yes. Some wanted a maple wood plank, but the others held out for mahogany with a dull finish." Annual Loss of $2,500,000 of Tax-Payers' Money Reported by Illinois Bankers' Association. Some startling figures were given the Illinois Bankers' association in a report recently rendered by their good roads committee. The committee has made an exhaustive study of the road situation in the state and has discovered, among other things, that there is an annual waste of $2,500,000 of the tax-payers' money under present conditions. The existing township highway system is severely criticised. The report says: "There is no other branch of the public service that shows such a large percentage of waste. Any business enterprise under such a system would not last through a season, but so long as the people continue to put up the money and retain the present system this loss will continue." It is estimated that about $7,000,000 annually is spent for road purposes. Reports to the bankers' committee from 15 townships showed that 100 per cent of the money was wasted; from sixty-eight, townships, 75 to 90 per cent; from 175 townships, 50 to 75 per cent; from 95 townships, 25 to 50 per cent, and for 47 townships, 10 to 15 per cent. The report shows that conditions are getting worse instead of better. "The money is not willfully wasted," says the report, "but it is spent in small amounts here and there in the endeavor to patch up and make passable a poor road and a poor bridge. There is not money enough at hand to do a good job. This makes it necessary for the highway commissioner to do the best he can with what he has. The result is the same work has to be done over each successive year, with no permanent benefit to the roads." The worst of it is that these same words might be applied to a dozen other states, particularly in the south. SUCCESS WITH AN INCUBATOR Should Be Run Two or Three Days Before Putting In Eggs to Secure Even Temperature. Run the incubator two or three days before putting in the eggs. This is so as to have the machine absorb heat, and also to test the thermometer and adjust the regulator. When you get the temperature to stand twenty-four hours at 100 degrees you are safe to put in the eggs. Do not crowd them. Cull them carefully and use no eggs of abnormal shape or size. The temperature naturally will fall noticeably when you put in the eggs. Don't get nervous and imagine something is wrong. Within a reasonable time, say an hour, the eggs will get warm, and the temperature will go back to 100 or near it and rise gradually within two or three days to 103, where it should be kept. If your incubator is a well-made one, you need not spend over ten minutes, morning and night, refilling lamp and trimming wick, and once a day turning the eggs. Look closely after the lamp, the machine will probably do the rest. Be regular, careful and study the incubator and the instructions till you understand both. Plum Trees. Plum trees are set in this state from 12 to 20 feet apart, the former being far too close. The distance should depend upon the soil and the variety, says a writer in the Baltimore American. It is well to set a little close 16 to 18 feet—and cut down when the trees begin to decline. Twenty years is a fair span with the best of orchards. In this region plum trees are usually set two years from the bud, though the Japs are often put out at one year. Plum trees should be headed at one half to two feet, with the head composed of four or five main branches and a central leader for domestics and damsons, but a vase-shaped tree for Triflora sorts. Burbank and Abundance require much bruning; other kinds little. Many growers head back every year. This procedure is to my mind of doubtful value. A good feed for young ducks is one measure of crackers or stale bread crumbs, one measure of middlings, one-half measure of bran and five per cent of grit. Wet with water or milk to a dry, crumbly state. Do not feed any sloppy foods while ducks are real young. Underfeed them a trifle, rather than overfeed them. Feed just what they will eat up clean and quickly during the feeding time. Feed them in troughs which are kept clean by scalding them in hot water. Keep their quarters perfectly clean. Plans for a Good Road. In laying out and grading up a road the principal thing, of course, is to get the center higher than the sides of the roadway so that the water will find its way to the side ditches quicker than it will start down the center of the road. If the water can be quickly drained off the road surface the road will be cut up very much less by traffic after rains and dry out in half the time required on roads not properly rounded up. Make-Up of Goud Cow. The good cow is thin in the regions of the thigh and flank, but very deep through the stomach girth, made so by long, open ribs. The udder is large, attached well forward on the abdomen and high behind. It should be full, but not fleshy. Che Savannah Tribune, Established 1875 , By JOHI H. DEVEAUX.

It is in- deed a happy arrangement that once ench year, the American people is given an opportunity to alo honor to our working classes, sho, with their floats and other paraphernalia representing — the warious crafts of our great coun- ary, are able to show to the world that they are a very important and organized factor in its de- velopment. In the celebration of tabor day, the laboring classes of our city have always taken a pro- minent part. The spectacle of several hundred suits of blue, brown and spotless white overalls, as well as well-constructed and yuite illustrative floats represent- zug the <arious trades, is still fresh in the memory of our oldest itizens. For the past few years, however, we have noticed, to our regret, « gradual lagging of in- terest on the partof our working people in the celebration of this great day. ‘his, we dare say, is not asit should be. Our work- ing class can ill afford to !et this annu:l opportunity pass to present their cause fo the world and thus fend dignity and strength to their culling. To fail to observe the day properly, is to fail to do what should be done for thedag and thu cause thatitcelebrates. Being for the most put, a working class of people, our people ought to see t» it that nothing be left undone on ther part that will help in the ‘proper celebration of this great day. Oar people should get busy at once and with their hammers and saws make the welkin ring in the building of floats and other emblems of their trades for the proper celebration of labor day. May the various trade bodies and unions among us take cognizance of this in order that the day may be fittingly celebrated. If we thus act, when labor day of 1912 passes into history, we shall be justly proud of having taken a worthy part in the celebration of the greatest day of the year to the working man, Jabor day. By all means, may our people fittingly recognize and observe labor day. Une of the evi practices Of the day on which a ban should be placed, is the gispusition of a large part of or younger and eyen older set, to engage in such tul gar dances as the so-called Turkey Trot atet Bunny Hug in public places. So prevalent las become ise indulgence of certain of ,our dancing element in these vulgar dances, that no public place of amusement or entertamment is entirely immune from the coarse and eye-sickening spectacle that these dances create. To observe our boys and girls of tender ages engaged in these vulgar dances in the presence of theirellers, brings to our view un example of brazen effrontery and moral abandon that is indeed hard fur one to conceive. But to observe those of us of maturer age and judgment engage ww such danees to the utter dis- resard of the finer senses of others present, biiugs to our view nota. condition, that calis for met alone but cerlemuation and disapproval in the mosteifective way. When- ever 2: o1son buy a ticket to one of our iver excisions ov hails of amusement, it is the duty of the! members of the committer of ar rangement to see té it that such order and decorum is maintained, | that Ins mioral senses are not in: the least disturbed. dt is as much the duty of the committees to protect from infringement the pleasurable rights of those of us who do net engage m the lighter forms of amusement, as itis for them to allow these lighter forms of amusements to be conducted in order that those who engage in them imay find pleasure. Now in speaking tus, we do not speak in defense of the prude or person ot | affected or magined modesty but in defense of those vf us who, ever mindful of the necessary pleasures of our young folks, de. sire to witness such forins of amusement among them as will be not only entertaining but clevat- ingas well. The final day of the yulgar dance in public places is at hand. It ought be stopped, it must be stopped. Our entertain- ment promoters have on hand a duty that they must perform at once. The yulgar dancers must be barred from our public places of amusement. They must be made to understand at once that their rodm is mich preferred to their company. The sooner this is done the better. Wise will be| that séciety or club that takes this gentle hint and act according- ly. ‘To debar these objectionables Inow isto insurea large and pro- fitable patronage in the future. fre protect or indulge them either by silence or otherwise, is to d&s- troy the prestige that may now be held. Let our clubs and socicties get busy at once and sce to it that these vulgar dances are not al- lowed. If quick and proper ac- tion is taken, theSe dances in a very short while will be only a memory- By all means let us do away with these vulgar dances. Again the grim spectre known to us as race prejudice and dis- crimination stalks abroad among us and shows his hands. Not con- tent with past achievements, this intermittent disturver of tne peace and prosperity of our common- wealth, who comes and goes among, us leaving with each visit devasta- tion and ruin in his wake, is again knocking at our doors for entrance. And despite the efforts of the good and fearless men of our-State, he is about to beallowed to enter in- to our confines and there, thwart our onward march of progress. In a recent session of our legisla- ture, a bill requiring all firemen of Georgia lines to be able to read train orders Was introduced ang passed by one of its branches: Now while, we wolcome any educa- tional or qualitative requirements along any line, if applied to all alike, we feel that we are fair to assume that the aim and purport of this bill as passed by one of our legislative branches, is not so much to increase the efliciency of the Georgia firemen as it is to elimi- nate the Negro firemen around whom has evolved a veritable tempest for some time. We can-| net refrain from stating that this! nesest aspect that class Tegistation’ is taking in our State, serves only as the forerunner of another hue, of our economic upheaval. As arace, weacknowledge the fact that we are living in an age of competition; an age In which forces vie with each jother for supremacy; an, aye in which the strongest surivé while the weakest is pushed to the rear. In this age when competition is so keen, we realize fully the folly on our part to beg indulgence or ask E favors in this great struggle for mechanical supremacy. Again, we Say that we realize fully the | folly on our part to seek quarters. We ought either be able to meas- ure arms with our rivals in the mechanical world or expect to be pluced out of the running. We E hot now seek or ask for favors. We do ask for fair play and a fair |tield where eachfand every one re- eardiess as to race, color or pre- lyious condition of servitude, will be given an opportunity to com- pete for the honors of the mechani- cal world. Our only request there- foreis, that shoal this bill ever pass both branches of our legisla- es and become a law that it will not be a law governing Negro fire- men alone but white firemen as j well. We belieze that it is a sign tof progress to require our firemen te have suflicient intelligence as to he able to read satisfactorily their train orders, ‘The age demands it, )the safety of the traveling” public requives it, However. Jet us not requite alone intelligent black firemen but intelligert white firemen as well. Then and not till then will the efficiency of our train service be increased. Then and not till then willa part of us feel that we are not bound by the statutes of our state but to the ‘contiary, beyond them. By all imeans let our legislators strite by wise and impartial laws to increase | the ellicieney and welfarg of our State. Let them not, in the heat of prejudicial debates\and discus siom strive through \legislative eeactments used as subterfuges, close the door of hope to us.

It became the capital of upper Louisiana the following year, and remained under French control till 1870, though the treaty of Paris, of 1763, bad given it to Spain. By the cession of Loufsiana to France, 1800, it again came under French Jurisdiction, and so remained till the purchase of the entire territory by the United States in 1803. The set- tlement was Incorporated as a town November 9, 1809. The town re- ceived a city charter December 9, 1822. In 1870 the former city of.Ca- rondolet was annexed and in 1875 the elty was separated from all county authority HORSES STILL IN DEMAND.

A cat named Peter is making a ‘reputation It the German city of Hamburgh, as it is stated Peter speaks very clearly. The animal !s attracting considerable attention in scientific circles, and experts from the zoo are to examine Peter. Some time ago Peter's mistress was very mich surprised when, instead of the expected “Miaou” which answers call, the cat distinctly pronounced the word “No” ‘This was already won- derful. But what is still more so Is that the cat was taught some other simple words which It learnt quickly. “Milk,” “Anna” (this being the name of its mistress), and others were soon used quite easily by the cat. 27) UNUSUAL INDUSTRY.

Baldness may be becoming more common; but it Is not by any means a modern affiletion. A French Egyp- tologist has unearthed a papyrus that gives a recipe for the cure of baldness, prepared for a king who reigned some six thousand years ago. The prescrip- tion was made for the king's mother.

PEN POINTS OF POWDER, Pens for writing purposes are be ing manufactured today in Germany hy a process which is exciting curi- osity. The trouble found With stecl pens is that they" oxidize easily and the Ink sticks to them. This fault is fot to be found with gold pens, but, on the othdr hand, these are too flexible to be ‘entirely satisfactory. Moreover, in gider to form a point suitable for mq iting purposes, the materiai of that part of the pen has to be mixed with some hard metal like iridium, and this operation is both complicated and expensive. The new pen is of tantalum and comes to the manufacturer in the form of a black powdér. The “pen that is made of this Has the tenacity of steel and the flexibility of gold.—Harper’s Weekly. . FIRST CHERRY ORCHARD. Cherries were first cultivated in England about a century’ before Christ, but the best modern species of frult Were introduced tnto Kent from Flan- ders about the beginning of the six- teenth century. One of the very first cherry orchards was that at Teyn- ham, near Faversham, from | which much- of Kent was afterwards supplied and the “Garden of England” still maintains ita supremacy, the chlef or- chards being along the Kentl!sh bor- ders of the Thames, the Darent, and the Modway. Bushino, Venetian am- bassador at the ¢ourt of James lL. relates that it was a favorite amuse- ment in the Kentish garden to try who could eat the most cherrles. and give details of one match wherein a young woman won With 20 pounds at a sitting ° GOT HIS LETTER MAILED.

An English telegtaph boy named Woolaston of Brockham, Surrey, has recently attained local fame. He was entrusted with a telegram addressed to the foreman of a firm of contrac- tors who were repairing the village church spire. When the boy arrived at the church the foreman was at the top of the scaffolding which sur- rounded the steeple. The lad would not part with the telegram; but as- <ended the scaffolding and delivered it to the man to whom it was ad- dressed. The reply was written at an altitude of some 150 feet, and Wollas- ton made the descent without assis- tance “Under Way.’ No doubt originally the expression had to do with weighing anchor, and the progress given to the ship by baul- ing her up to the anchor being con- tinued by wind or stream, Probably “under weigh” was more correct. But today the above spelling is usually adopted. Quite recently In a London, England, court, Judge Lumley Smith, K. C., when trying a collistoa case, asked if there was any authcritatlve way of spelling “under way” or “under weigh"—which was accurate? The leader of the admiralty bar at the court, answered that for many years the word had been spelled “under way,” and be belleved that was gen erally accepted in oficial quarters. CURE FOR IDIocy.

TEACH FIRST “AID New Branch of Red Cross Or- ganized in Washington. a ai ‘WIM Instruct Women In the Care of Injured in Emergencies and Also in Sanitation and Nursing of the Sick. Wasbington—Lack of preparation for the duties of voluntary ald work- ers has given rise to the organization of a new branch of the American Red Cross society, which is to be hnown as the Woman's First Aid detachment. The first detachment yet formed be- longs to Washington, D, C., where dur- ing the last winter the new work was begun. ‘The movement ts rapidly branching out to other citles througb- out the country. The detachment idea in the Red Cross work, while new in this coun- try, bas received the support of vari- ous foreign countries. In Russia the movement fs headed by the czarina. The purpose of the American de- tachments, while similar, {s not iden- tical with those in other countries. The idea which has been carried out by the detachment already formed fi Washington is to afford women in- struction fn first ald, nursing, cooking and diet cooking, the preparation of Tooms for the sick and injured and courses in personal hygiene aud sani- tation, In order to prepare the detachments: for the performance of their duties the American Red Cross has arranged a graduate course of instruction ex- tending over a period of two or three years. The first year ten lectures are given on first ald and ten on nursing. The second year cooking is taught In twelve lessons and diet cooking in two. Six periods are also devoted to teaching what is necessary to provide to take care of thesickor hurt in an emergency, with proper arrangements for such articles {n any place set aside for the purpose. A post-graduate course of twenty lectures Is given on personal hygiene and sanitation, but this is not compulsory An announcement’ of the American Red Cross says: . “The members of these detachments are permitted to enroll after passing the required examinations at the end of the first year. It must be distinct- ly understood that these women are in no sense Red Cross nurses. From the instruction received they are, how. ever, Individually much better pre- pared to take the emergency care of the family and others In case of SIl- ness or injury and the detachments as such have a clear field of thefr own as in auaillary corps, “They will find an important ficld of employment fn civil functions when great numbers of people are assem- bled. Nowadays it is generally regard- ed as ‘essential that emergency care should be proyided for the ill and in- jured. At such times doctors and nurses will not be lacking, but wom- en's detachments are required to get together the necesgary materials and to take care of the housekeeping end of these relief statfons. Moreover. there is not infrequently an opportu- nity for first aid on thelr part. “In war every nation except our own has long recognized the value of such corps. Throughont Japan during the Russo-Japanese war special relief stations which they helped to organ- ize and participated in were found at every point where rallroad trains stopped for any length of time “The success in other directions of the American Red Cross assures that, having now taken in hand the organ- tzation of women's detachments, In the not distant future these will be found in all parts of the country play- ing their large part in the relief of suffering humanity.” TO BAR CUPID. The general delivery window of the gpostoffice will no longer Le an aid to Cupid If the crusade which has been started by Chief Inspector James T. Cortelyou fs successful. AM the fer- vid love letters which have been slipped Into eager bands through the window; the secret missives of meet- ings past and to come, will hereafter be sent direct to the. homes of the girls unless these blushing maids can prove that they are twenty-one. Mr. Cortelyou belfeves that much satan comes from the secret corre- spondence carried on with the ald of postoffices and he wants the general delivery window restored to its legit!- mate purpose, which is far from be- ing an ald to Cupid. “When we notice,” says Cortelyou, “that young girls are frequently ask- ing for letters at the general delivery window we ask them for their home address and send all their letters there by carrier. Of course at times we may be given wrong addresses, but the carriers are careful to find out if the girl really lives at the ad- dress given. “The mail clerk also asks if the girl is of age, and if she ts not the address of her parents or guardian {s learned and the letters are sent by carrier,” he said, a little ruefully, WHY OLLIE WASN'T NOMINATED. “During the Baltimore convention I won a wing supper from a friend on an argument as to the wolght of the ponderous permanent chairman, Ollle James,” said. Fred B. Nidever of Mil- ‘waukeo the other day. “I guessed him at 295 pounds, while my friend's fig- ures were 280 pounds, Later we as- certatned that the weight of,the big fellow was just 290 pounds. “Thereupon I *on the supper and 1t happened that Mr. James was-seated in the same dining room that evening while we enjoyed the good meal that my friend paid for, and not far from where we sat. By way of jest the loser of the repnst asked Jour walter if he could tell us the name of the gi- fantic guest. ‘Yes, gentlemen,’ an- swered the walter, proud of his ability to impart information, ‘that is Mr. Ol le James, who, they say, is going to be nomtrated for president, but I hard- ly think they will do it because people might take objectfon on account of what his brother did’ o “*And who was his brother?" quer- led my friend. “Why, sir, his brother was Jesse James, the biggest train robber in the country.’ COUSIN OF DINOSAURI UN-. EARTHED, A fossil has been discovered in the state department—no, wait a minute, by the state department, not in it. Dispatches to Washington from Isaac Manning, United States consul at Barranquilla, Colombia, state that a section of compsognathus has been unearthed tn that vicinity. A comp sognathus was next of kin to the di- nosaurl, when those familiar beasts were reaming about the wilds of the western hemisphere, Mr. Manning has not been permitted to view the remains, but by clever work as a member of the consular service, which everyone knows is an adjunct to the diplomatic service, he succeeded in obtaining a description of them. He says: “The spinal column section meas- ures 25 centimeters in height, 13 cen- timeters ‘in width at one end, and 15 centimeters at the other. The cavity of the spinal cord is 7 by % centume- ters, and attached to the spine is a short rib-llke bone with a round knob at the end.” Mr. Manning says Colombia tas never produced anything like this be- tore. The Smithsonian instituuon Is to be Informed of the discovery. OLD WAR CLAIM GRANTED. One of the funny things that olten happen In legislatlon happened the other day.

I am sure no one, even those with limited al luwances, can fall to have attractive Srocks this season, especially if they are at all apt with the needle and can ada a few original touches which arc lacking in the bought frocks. Sometow, It seems to be quite a help in the dull, sultry days of sum: mer to look~cool, even though [t may be quite impossible to feel that way. ‘There really doesn’t seem to be any. Ung that Is quite as cool looking as a duinty lingerie frock, Of course, It is the simple ones that are most ef fective, for 1 am sure that we have al seen the kind that are so overtrimme¢ That they look positively hot. Secret of Daintiness. It isn't necessary’ to have a frock full up with eapensive laces to make it dainty, nor yet to spend months Ir working ‘up designs in hand embrol dery. A simple model of white mer cerized or cotton volle [s always at tractive in combination with a fins over eyelet embroidery. The plas tron collar is particularly good for covering. a passe’ blouse, and, 0 course, for a growing girl the attrac tive fold at the bottom of the skirt 1 quite an effective way for lengthentay the skirt. But it always seems quite a probler to find a filting finish to a dainty col lar, flounce or anything made of eye let embroidery Of course, it is pos Gs = a | ee Wy Ge? ie ir AW BA EA\_A Woon i, N \\ i Tadd al. © ill ied Ce = <s sible to scallop and buttonhole the edges, but that takes a great amount of time, and hardly seems practical. A piping is always a help, and may often lend a coior note to a dead white gown. Though they are quite popular ut present, they are, as a rule, mostly in the form of cordings. When mak- ing cordings the material should be cut on a true bias, about an inch to an Inch and a quarter in width, and be sure to press all the seams at the fofnings before putting In the cordings, After laying the cording in the cen- ter of the material, fold it over and run a row of stitching, as close to the cord as possible. Some find that ma- chine stitching is quite all right, but to me, the hand sewing is much more satisfactory, There is an easy meth- od for cutting bias, and if 1 can ex- plain it clearly enough I know you will find.st a help, for one {s so apt not to get all the seams on the same side and often the width will vary. «Getting True Bias. Fold down a corner of your mate- rial to find a true bias—a straight line on the cross of the material laid on the selvage Mne will determine the true bias line. Then measure down the dedired width In two or- three places and join them with a straight Mne, elther in the tallors’ chalk or lead pencil, preferably ruled—repeat this until you have measured off the desired length of the blas. Then, placing one corner of the blas to the irst line drawn sew the two selvage edges together. If you have been care. ful in tuling your lines and with the measuring, yay will then be able to cut along the pencil or chalk that will form a spire. Then, too, a collar or anything, for that matter, of eyelet embroidery might be finished with a narrow frill of plaited net, with perhaps a wider one at the neck and at the bottors of the sleeves, or, If it were possible to find an attractive piece of embroidery edging that matched fairly well, this might be used for an effective fine ish. Wide embroidery founcing Is always abelp ona dainty ‘frock of white batiste, but there always seems to be the problem of some new Idea for its use. Use of Filling, ‘Inc use of fling on a dalnty frock cf Latiete fs always attractive and quite a help Jn getting a pretty effect. In putting it in, “care must be taken that the seams are straight before applying the filling. Then stitch tt (on the sewing machine) as close as poss'ble to the tiny eyelets, without letting the stitching run {nto them. Then cut the material of the frock quite close to the seam and hem the material of the filling over it so that the folded edge will come on a line with the machine stitching. I think that you will find that on frocks of mercerized voile or marquis- ette that are trimmed with the “selt” trimining, a dainty color note can be stygested by Introducing tiny rose- buds of pale blue or pink chiffon, here and there along the puflings around the neck, belt and sleeves. On some of the frocks that do not sug- gest color, the laces used are ecru in dint and really make up effectively. Another new feature about the most fashionable frocks {s the vest or un- derdress suxgested in the front of the models. Qn those of a hngerie type the underdress may be of any style of lace, from a large open pat- tern of the cluny variety to the small pattern of the filmy shadow lace. On the linen dresses for afternoon wear Turkish toweling Js used for this and fs also suggested in the collar and cuffs, In many cases thls panel ar. rangement is seen with a row of but- tons on cither side, or somo button Joops on side and buttons In their matching places on the other Buttons for Lingerle Frock. On the lingerie type of frock the tiny crochet buttons are the most at- tractive, although you may find them rather expensive, but a friend of mine has a rather practical “stunt,” as she calls tt, for Uny buttons’ of this sort. She will buy the white ball fringe and cut off the tiny balls that really mahe the most attractive buttons, and are much less expensive. For the but ton loops a silk cord is-perhaps the easiest to handle, and for a finished loop of about an inch or £0, four inches will be required. The cord should be joined first, folded in half and then, putting a knot at one end, 1s ready to be ap: pled to the frock. When joining the tno ends of the cord I think you will find the Jotninz less noticeable if the strands (if there are two) are cut an Inch shorter at each erd, then the tno longer ones can be twisted together until they meet the shorter dnes. Of course if the cord has three strands there should be two short ones at one end and one short one at the ather. : For the Color Note. ' If a color note 1s suggested tn the panel at the front of the frock, the Dutton loops might also be of that color, using a blas strip of satin, either corded or plain. Do You worry ‘over yhat would be an appropriate wrap to wear with the lingerie frocks.of the summer. They are usually made of a silk—taffeta charmeuse or messalinc—or of a thin material like silk yollo or mar- quisette. ‘They are really inexpensive to make, for they require only about three yards of material for the aver. ago figure. ‘They are usually made of a rather bright color and may be worn effect Ively with the Iimen or cream serge afternoon frocks as well as those that are quite lacy. Tho color of the wrap fs, as a Tule, also suggested in the frock, and many times as well fr the hat, that may be a large flopps | panama or a cunning creation of em | proidery. Here and There. For girls going on motor trips the Mttle boxes of Individual toilet re- quisites are quite indispensable; In these tiny leatherette boxes come four articles—a sachet, a wee bottle of perfume and of tollet water and a box of talcum powder; eacli set 1s sufficient for a trip. - Instead of buttoning a flounce to a petticoat get a narrow beading twice the circumference of the skirt at the height ef the ruffle. Sew one-half of it to the skirt at that height and head the flounce with the other. They are easily joined with a ribbon, with the ends finished. This gives a dainty finish and the flounce does not sag BAD LUCK HIS PORTION LOOKED UP WIFE AFTER 47 | YEARS, FOUND HER MARRIED.

Thompson, wanderer | extraordinary, has returned to his native state after 47 years to find the wife of bis youth happily married to another man and mother of many children, his baby daughter grown to womaphood and nursing bables of her own, and his sis- ter unable to recognize him. After having his roof blown from over his head by a cyclone in Kansas, his barns and granaries. burned in Ohio, his Uttle store in another state destroyed by fire, tramping over the whole of the west and middle west, selling trees and lightning rods in the Mississippi valley, associating with feudists in tho Kentucky mountains, Thompson, in his old age, turned his eyes ond heart toward his own old state. So he worked his way across the intervening states and came at last to Pembroke. Dut all the friends of his youth bad disappeared. Many of the old families were broken up. The slabs in the little churchyard told bin where many of the people he bad known had gone. The graves of his father and mother he found there. No trace of his wife and ebild could be find, ‘A chance acquaintance told him that his sister was married and was living fn Savannah. Coming here he found her in the person of Mrs. L. A.

JESSE’ JAMES A TRAVELER Son of the Famous Outlaw Enjoys His Honeymoon In a Light Spring Wagon. Philadelphia, Pa—Jesse James, Jr., son of Jesse James, once noted our: law, Is in Philadelphia, ‘With his wife, a former Philadelphia girl, and his three-months-old davgb- ier, Myrtle, he Is staying with the family of William Crooks, telatives of Mrs. James, at 246 Slocum street, Ger- mantown. "Mrs, James was Miss El- sie Lincsay of 6718 Chew street, Ger- mantown. ‘Tho younger James has had a plc- turesque and enlivening‘career, though ‘now only thirty-five years old. A sol- ‘dier in Uncle Sam's regular army; a ‘participant In the San Juan engage- ‘nent Ja the Spanish-American war; a fighter in tho eventful battle of Budajoho at Jolo, in the Philippines, au army farrler, a cowboy, a prize fighter, an ordinary laborer, a bron- cho busier, a professional athlete, a gtockman, a newspaper reporter— these are some of the few things tho ‘son of the outlaw has done. All of bis life he bas had a mania for traveling. Three times around the world, a residence In every state in the United States, across Australla in a boggy, a pedestrian In China and Japan, with an explorer in Africa— Jaiues, Jz, has been pretty nearly everywhere. Of all the things he has done there {s only one which Le re- grets. He did notidrive bls horse Rob- bins into every gtate in the Union. ut be says he will. Of dk the things be has been into, this man likes the army best. But he is done with it, Married pearly two yearr ago, he has given up all thought of soldiering any more for a living. Hé works just enough to ac- cumulate a traveling sum, as he calls it, and then sets out, ‘The honevmoon trip which brought him and Mre, James to Philadelphia started more than a year ago In Los: Angeles, Cal. They traveled via na- ture'’s roads, using a Nebt spring wag. on as the carrying apparatus, and what they both call the finest bay mare in the World as drawing power. For a sear James, Jr., will live in Philadelphia. Then he is going back \o California. BOAT TURNS TURTLE TRAVELS ALL NIGHT WITH ITS BOTTOM SHOWING. Barge Carrying Convict Laborers Down the Mississippi River to Work on a Louisiana Levee Is Cut Adrift as Tow. boat Flops. Baton Rouge, La.—The steamer Mar- Jorie of this port is lying beached at Conrad's Point, six miles below Baton Rouge, turned turtle and tled to the Dank, after one of the most remark- able voyages of the lower Mississippl. ‘The Marjorie was under charter by the state board of control when the aceldent overtgok her. She was tow- ing one of the penitentiary barges, with a levee gang 2f 120 negro cons viets, under command of Conca derson. The negroes have been al Hope plantation, but were being taken ‘up the river to Angola, to be used fn closing the Torras crevasse. The Marjorie, with her tow, had pro- ceeded up the river without mishap as far as Morganza bend, six miles above Bayou Sara, when she ran into @ storm, at about six o'clock. Just as the storm struck her she was caught in a strong eddy and became unmanageable. She was pushed through the eddy. however, and as she struck the eddy again turned turtle. The convict bargo was cut loose from her and started aimlessly down the river. But as it passed Bayou Sara a gasoline boat put out and brought the barge to the bank. i. In the meantime the officers, and crew, of the Marjorle, who, with the exception of the negro cook, had es- caped, witnessed an unusual sight. Instead of sinking, the Marjorie start- ed down the river, bottom upward, and soon was lost to sight. Next morning, shortly after day- break, Ship Carpenter Broussard of the Baton Rouge Ferry company saw her, bottom up, passing down the river. He telephoned to Capt. William ‘McCausland, president of the ferry company, who rushed to the front, got one of his gasoline boats and with Broussard started in pursult, He overhauled the Marjorie several miles below the clty, and after work- ing all day to save her, succeeded In Deaching her just before night. Je fs kelp: phat the Starfatie wil Prove a total loss. She was insured for about $3,000 and was used in tow- ing barges of cotton seed and other products for the of mill. Her per- formance Is sald by river men to be unique. They attribute her long night voyage down the river to the fact that she was much larger than is custom- ary for a boat carrying her machinery. Captain Starns was master of the Marjorie, Capt. Laurence Mehaffy was at the wheel when the accident oc- curred, and George Frederichs and Mooney Aucoin of this city were among the crew. They had narrow escapes in leaving her, Tho body of the negro woman who served as cook was found in the wreckage in the morning. So far as hnown, thls was the oily loss of Mfe, PRESENTIMENT IMPELLED HIM Vivid Impression That All Was Not Well Causes Man to Hurry to SIck Mcther. Pasadena, Ca.—At length giving’ im to 4 presentiment that something se- tious had happened-at home, Orls Sut- lif, son of H.R. Sutliff, No. 62 Sum- mit avenue, rushed back with all pos- sible speed to Pasadena from a re- mote place In the third range of moun- tains north of the city, where he had gone to camp with a boy companton, to find that his fears were well erounded. He arrived late at night, fand learned that in? his absence bia ‘mother had become ill with a fever Jand had Seen taken to the Pasadena ‘hospital, . So vivid was the Impressioa that ‘all wag not well which obtruded it- self upon ble inner consciousness that young Sutlift made a mad rush of the returning Journey. He and bis cdm- panion, Logan Green, of No. 611 North Los Robles avenue, traveled 35 miles with a pack burro dur- Ing the day. The boys held up well under tho strain, but tke pack antmal was about used up. It was reported later that | Mrs. Sutlif's condition had tmpreved and she {s not belleved now to be in danger. “I cannot describe the feeling that came over me,” sald the Sutlitt youth. “It was not that I ever took any stock !n mental telepathy or any- thing of that, kind. I never have. But I suddenly got to feeling that sonjething Was wrong. The fear became a settled conviction. Al- though we had provisfons enough t> keep us two weeks longer, and had started out with the intention of re- maining as long as possible, I could not keep from turning back. I felt queer and very mmch disturbed. Nothing could have held me back.” The boys were camping near the head of Bill creek, very near to the hills that border upon the desert. Totd Champion to Behave.
