Walter Williams, who died in Chickasha, Okla., memorial ser- were heldat St. Paul C, M.E. cburch on last Sunday afterngon at 5:30 o'clock. The attendance at théexercises was rather sinall owing to the fact that the publie dids not have suf- ticient knowledge of the exact date of the exercises.

In the death o! Dr. Williams we've lost a useful and noble character. Prof 1. WW. Gadsden spoke a Dr. Williams as a citizen. He said in part, “I regarded Dr. Wil liams as a brother and L_ would like not to have bad anything t say at this time.” He spoke a length of Dr. Williams as being : man deeply interested in the wel fare of his race; of his keen anc broad views, and how he was iden tified with, and was some time: the prime promoter of movemen set in mo tion for improving th condition of’ the race. ‘The musie rendered for the oc casion was very sweet and appro priate. .

Rebels Must Stop Shelling Nicaragua Capital. U. S. MINISTER IN CHARGE. General Mena. Leader Of the Revolution, Has Alenated the Sympathies Of the American Washington. -The collier Justin, according to advice received at the State Department, has arrived at Corinto with 350 marines, under command of Major Smedley Butler, who reported at once to the senior officer, Captain Terhune, commanding the gunboat Annapolis, who has been given full authority to deal with the military situation in Nicaragua as it affects American interests. It is believed that this marine force was at once dispatched to Managua, a six-hour run over the railroad from Corinto. Because of delayed cable advises to, the Navy and State Departments, officials here can only conjecture what happened after the arrival of the marines in the Nicaraguan capital. How this force has been used depends entirely upon the will of American Minister Weltzel, but as he has already protested to the rebels against the bombardment of Managua, filled as it is with women and children and non-combatants, it is believed he has driven the insurgents away from their positions and stopped the bombardment. If his force is not sufficient for this purpose, officials feel assured that he will hold the city until reinforcements from Panama or the bluejackets of the Denver, now en-route to Corinto, can be placed at his disposal. The State Department has let it be understood that it does not propose to tolerate this lawless shelling and killing of helpless women and children and endangering American lives and seizing and destroying American property. The officials are quite emphatic in pointing out that General Mena, the head of the revolution, has completely alienated the sympathies of this government by his conduct of the rebellion. Belated cablegrams received at the State Department from American Minister Weitzel give a vivid picture of the conflict of Managua, which began last Sunday morning, when General Zeledon, in command of the rebel forces around Managua, opened fire on the city from the vicinity of Momotomo. INDUSTRIAL BILL PASSED. Commission Of Nine Created To Inquire Into Labor Conditions. Washington.-The Senate passed the Hughes bill, creating a committee on industrial relations. A commission of nine persons is created to inquire into the general conditions of labor in the principal industries of the United States, including agriculture, and especially in those which are carried on in corporate form. The purpose of the commission is to ascertain facts and suggest legislation calculated to establish better relations between capital and labor. A report must be submitted within two years. A special inquiry must be made into the illegal entry of Asiatics into the United States or its insular possessions. The measure has already passed the house. TO PROBE PATENT OFFICE. Senate Passes Resolution Which Provides For Investigation. Washington--Investigation of the condition of business in the Patent Office was provided for in a resolution passed by the Senate. The measure authorized the Economy and Efficiency Commission to spend not to exceed $10,600 in an examination of the system of granting patents. Senator Sanders bitterly criticized the present system of issuing patents. "The congestion of business has become so great," he said, "that resulting condition have made patents nothing but rights of action in the courts. They do not protect." The resolution Lad passed the House. Their Boats Sunk In Terrible Storm Off Spanish Coast. Billbao. Spain—One hundred and nineteen Spanish fishermen belonging to this port lost their lives by the sinking of 14 fishing boats during a terrible storm which has raged along the Spanish coast during the past two days.

I MUST HAVE A CLOSEER LOOK ANTICIPATION REALIZATION OVER TAFT'S VETO WOOL BILL PASSED No Other Instance of President Being Overriden Known. CLALK'S RULING A BIG HELP. Speaker Aids By Ruling That the Majority Is Counted From the Votes Cast and Not From the Num- By a ruling of Speaker Clark, who held that members voting present should not be counted in estimating the two-thirds vote necessary to pass a bill over a presidential veto, the Democrats of the House, with the aid of 19 Republican insurgents on the tariff, Tuesday passed the Underwood-La Follette compromise Wool Bill over the veto of President Taft. The vote was 174 ayes, 80 nays and 10 present, making a total of 264. Two-thirds of this number would have been 176, or two more than voted affirmatively. But Speaker Clark held that the 10 present should not be counted; that the Constitution meant two-thirds of a quorum present voting aye and nay, or two-thirds of 254, which would have been 170, so that under the Clark ruling four more than the necessary two-thirds to override the veto voted in the affirmative. Not in the memory of the oldest member of the House has a karliff measure ever been passed over the President's veto by the lower branch of Congress Neither Speaker Clark nor Majority Leader Underwood could recollect such an occurrence. United States Prepared For Action In Nicaragua. Washington.—Unless conditions in Nicaragua materially improve the United States will order Minister Weltzelt to take charge of the government and with the aid of the 350 marines and 100 blue jackets already in Managua, proclaim martial law. This would constitute intervention in its widest sense, but a continuance of the bombardment of Managua and a renewal of the raids engineered within the past three days by General Mena's troops would force the United States to drastic and immediate action. Long experience with Latin-American republics has shown the State Department that too much leniency is a dangerous thing, and while President Taft is wedded to ideas of peace and diplomacy, even he admitted to Secretary Knox that conditions in Nicaragua were growing well-night unbearable and that something should be done at once. Accordingly, the State Department wired Minister Weitzel he should assume full control of the American troops in Nicaragua, moving them as he thought best for the protection of foreigners and their property and even using them to attack the rebels should the latter make good their threat to bombard the foreign portion of Managua. Girl Started Three Fires Springfield, Mo.-Edna James, 11 years old, a nurse girl, weepingly admitted that she had started three fires in Springfield last Saturday. She refused to give any reason for her act. Thirty-five fires occurred here Saturday in various homes, and the police say they believe Edna started all of them. The girl refused to answer questions and would only admit that she started three of the fires. CHANGE IN PUBLICITY LAW. Amendment To Campaign Expense Statute Is Proposed. Washington.—Senators and representatives may hereafter swear to and file in any regular postoffice their statements required under the campaign contributions publicity law, if the Senate adopts an amendment to that law adopted by the House. Now representatives have to swear to their campaign expense statements in their own districts and senators in their own states. BURNED UNDER AN AUTOMOBILE Frank Avery. Wealthy Hotel Man. Meets Horrible Death. WOMAN POWERLESS TO HELP. Wealthy Blue Point (L. I.) Man Told Mrs. Blake To Deslat In Her Efforts To Lift the Heavy Car New York.—Compelled to stand on the roadway and watch Frank Avery, a wealthy hotel man of Blue Point, Long Island, burn to death under the overturned auto in which they had just returned from St. James, to Patchogue, Mrs. Anna Blake was taken to the Patchogue Hospital in an extremely hysterical condition that threatened even more dire results. The Avery's and the Blakes have been long-time friends. Avery and Mrs. Blake were returning from a visit to St. James, Avery driving at high speed. While Avery was joking about the way he could "drive to schedule" the speeding machine struck a fork in the Holbrook road. The car skidded, swung completely around and turned turtle into the ditch at the left side of the highway, throwing Mrs. Blake clear, but pinning Avery underneath. Only his head was clear of the machine. Mrs. Blake did her best to release him, but was unable to lift the heavy machine. Avery realized this and asked her to stop her efforts. "It's no use," Mrs. Blake said Avery told her. "I've got to perish here. But I do wish I had half a chance to get out. Please tell mamma (Mrs. Avery) that I've got $25,000 life insurance and that my will leaves her everything. Now take care of yourself and never mind me. I've got to go." The sentence was hardly finished, Mrs. Blake said, when the gasoline tank exploded, sending parts of the car in every direction, but leaving most of the inflammable debris still holding Avery down. Mrs. Blake ran down the road summoning help, and when a physician reached the spot a cloud of smoke was still pouring upward. The unrecognizable remains of Avery were found in a horribly contorted position as though he had tried to escape from the fire, having lived through the explosion. LAND FOR LUTHER BURBANK. Senate Gives Him Chance To Try Out Spineless Cacti. Washington.—The Senate passed a bill placing at the disposal of Luther Burbank 12 sections of land in California, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada for the propagation of the spinneless cacti. The bill provides that if Burbank succeeds in growing on this semiarid land cacti suitable for animal food for a period of two years the land shall be sold to him for the regular $150 an acre government land price. The bill already has passed the House. ENGLISH FLYER KILLED. R. C. Fenwick's Machine Turns Turtle 300 Feet Up. Salisbury, Eng.—One of the most experienced of English airmen, R. C. Fenwick, was killed while participating in the military aviation speed tests on Salisbury Plain. He was flying over the aviation camp in his biplane at an altitude of 300 feet when his machine suddenly turned turtle and dashed to the ground; FIND WATCH IN COW. Discovery In Bovine's Stomach Raises Ownership Question. Newburgh, N. Y.—In the stomach of a tuberculous cow killed here State Veterinarian W. J. Fink found a lady's gold watch and chain which was lost some time ago by a summer boarder. The discovery raises the question as to the ownership of the treasure trove—the State, which paid for the carcass; the farmer who had owned the cow, or the original possessor of the watch. BANDITS AGAIN FIRE AT A TRAIN Promptness of Engineer Saves Passengers. 2 WOMEN ON BOARD KILLED. After Placing Stones On the Track the Mexican Cutthroats Hild In the Bushes To Attack the Mexico City.—A repetition of Sunday's massacre at Ticuman, when 35 soldiers and 20 passengers were killed by partisans of the rebel Zapata, was narrowly averted Wednesday near Hulchila, in Southern Morelos, by the engineer of a southbound train from the city of Cunatla, who backed his train out of the danger zone under the fire of ambushed bandits. Two women were killed and another was wounded by the rebel fire before the train was out of range. Rocks had been piled on the track, but were seen by the engineer i. time to avert disaster News arrives every moment of devastations committed by partisans of the rebel Zapata in the Tenancingo district of the State of Mexico, about 65 miles southwest of Mexico City. It is feared in government circles that the rebels may cut off the retreat of General Trujillo, commanding the federalis now at Tenancingo and then surprise this city. It is expected that Coatespec, Sulinas and other nearby towns will share the fate of the town of Ixtapan at the hands of the rebels, as there are no federal troops available for their defense. CONSUL KILLED. Previous Attempt Upon His Life By Natives. Washington — William Bruce MacMaster, American vice consul at Cartagena, Colombia, has been shot and killed. "Dispatches to the State Department reporting his death do not say if it was an accident or a murderous assault. An investigation is being made. Mr. MacMaster was killed last Sunday "while hunting," according to the report to the State Department, which came from American Consul Kemper at Cartagena. An attack upon his life two years ago and the strain imposed upon his relations with the Colombian judicial authorities as a result of his efforts to secure full punishment for the would-be assassins excites the suspicion of officials here as to the cause of his death. About two years ago, because he had killed a native in self-defense, MacMaster was attacked by several Colombians and dangerously wounded. He was arrested on the charge of murder, and though acquitted by a lower court, was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment by an appellate tribunal The United States government intervened and secured a new trial, which resulted in his acquittal in June, 1910, but he has ever since been fearful of further violence. Robber Gets $3,000 From Southern Messenger and Escapes. Asheville, N. C.—A lone train robber boarded a Southern Railroad train from Spartanburg at Biltmore Station, and after covering the express messenger with a revolver, secured $3,000 and escaped. American Officers Beaten. Washington—Four American officers of a ship of the Pacific Mail Company now in the harbor of Panama are reported to have been assaulted and severely beaten by the local chief of police. Representations have been made to the State Department and an inquiry has been started. Friel Allen Gets 18 Years. Wytheville, Va.—Friel Allen, one of the outlaws charged with complicity in the Hillsville Courthouse murders last March, pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree and was sentenced to 18 years in the penitentiary. Two others have been convicted of first degree murder and two more members of the gang are about to be tried. Army Bill Is Pasard. Washington.—The Senate passed the Army Appropriation bill carrying $44,000,000, a bill replacing that originally passed, which was vetoed by President Taft. The new bill did not carry the provision of the original which would have legislated out of official life Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army. Composer Of Sacred Music Dies. Philadelphia. — William Gustavus Fischer, noted throughout the world as the composer of sacred music, died at his home here after a short illness, aged 77 years. During the original Moody and Sankey revival services in this city he acted as the leader of a chorus of more than 1,000 voices. From 1858 to 1868 he was professor of music at Glirard College. Among his most famous compositions were I Love to Tell the Story and Whiter Than Snow. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The editor recently spent some time inspecting the class work of two great institutions, the University of Wisconsin and Tuskegee Institute, the famous school established by Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Ala., for the education of negroes, and in which all the teaching is done by negroes. In many of their features the two institutions present striking contrasts, but perhaps in no respect do they differ more widely than in the quality of the teaching; and in this respect the negro school has a very decided advantage. The skill shown by the teachers at Tuskegee is incomparatively greater than that of the teaching force at the University of Wisconsin. At Tuskegee, when a student recites he stands erect, and says something that has a definite beginning, aim and end; and he makes his statements without interference or help from the teacher. Then he is quizzed by the other students. At Madison, the students do not stand to recite, and many of them do not sit; they loll or loaf in a half reclining position. As a rule, if any recitations are made they are read from the note book in the hand of the student, but most of the alleged recitation work is done on the co-operative plan: the teacher and the student collaborate to produce a result, the student's contribution to which in many cases is limited to "yes" or "no," or at best consists of finishing out a sentence which the teacher has almost completed, the teacher not infrequently responding with approval "eg-zacktly," or "very good." When a student begins a recitation de novo—a rare occurrence—he usually introduces it with "Why" or "Well," and often closes with the rising inflection.—American Journal of Education. : Problems of home life, the needs of the negro in rural communities, health and better school facilities were discussed at the sixteenth annual session of the Hampton Negro conference. The conference was called to order by Maj. R. R. Moton. Jackson Davis, supervisor of negro rural schools in Virginia, said that in 18 counties of the state the school term was lengthened one month one year, and nine new buildings erected $13,744.16 raised by the colored people in these counties to aid in the support of their schools during the year. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones gave a review of facts culled from the recent census. Prof. J. M. Gandy of the Negro Organizing society, stated that 22,228 of the 48,114 negro farm operators in Virginia own 2,238,228 acres. He said that improved methods would make the colored farmers realize as much as white farmers. In speaking of the rush of the negroes to the cities, Dr. George E. Haynes of Fisk university gave the following causes: Divorce of the negro from the soil; growth of commercial and industrial centers; legislation affecting city and urban conditions; relations of landlord and tenant; influence of employment agents; exaggerated stories; restlessness. The part that the colored minister can play in racial uplift was discussed at length. M. W. Reddick, Americus, Ga.; Dr. J. J. France, Portsmouth, Va.; Mrs. G. W. Cook, Washington; Mrs. Butler Wilson, Boston; C. G. Spaulding, Durham, N. C.; the Rev. A. A Graham, Phoebus, Va.; W. T. B. Willlam, and Capt. Allan Washington were among others who took part in the discussion. A very suggestive article on the race problem in South Africa was recently published in the Empire Review, a British publication of wide colonial circulation. The article was written by Mr. Henry Smith, who says in part: "The racial problems of South Africa are rapidly assuming gigantic proportions and every fact which comes to light indicates that the Briton and Boer will now have to decide upon a definite course of action in regard to the future of the country. For many years we have witnessed the growth of the colored population and the decrease of the white races. South Africa is becoming blacker and browner every year. The disproportion between the white and the colored races is increasing every year. If the Union of South Africa goes forward exactly as it has during the last seven years it will fifty years hence contain roughly 3,000,000 whites and 12,000,000 colored people. If we take all British South Africa and not merely the Union the preponderance will be far more overwhelming." Man can build a house, but only a woman can make it a home for him. The colored National Democratic league, represented by fifty-five delegates, was in session at Baltimore during the national Democratic convention. The league is said to represent 100,000 colored voters organized into twenty-nine clubs. The effectiveness of these votes will be measured, of course, by their geographical locations. All Saints Episcopal church. (colored) of St. Louis recently gave an offering of $50 to help liquidate the indebtedness of a white church. Because the bureau of census at Washington insisted that mulattoes be enumerated in the last census there has been a genealogical mix-up, the negro being the loser from a numerical standpoint. Investigations show that the statistics just issued for publication by the department of commerce and labor class thousands of negroes with what has been officially designated as "foreign or mixed parentage." Had the bureau of census designated all of African descent under the heading of "Negro" figures would show that negroes constitute a much larger percentage of population. For instance, Greater New York is put down as having a negro population of 91,709, when, all told, there are at least 100,000 citizens of color in the various boroughs. The census people claim that there are 22,000 negroes in Brooklyn, although it was conceded by those familiar with the population of this city that from 27,000 to 30,000 negroes residé across the bridge. The census bureau in its statistics specifies the country's population under the following divisions: "Native parentages," "foreign or mixed parentages," "foreign born whites," "negroes," and "all other." Thousands of citizens in the state of New York and throughout the country have been classed under "foreign or mixed parentage," because mulattoes were enumerated, when they should have been put down as negroes. The opinion of the census bureau of what was a negro and what was a mulatto was very confusing and caused thousands of negroes who were not mulattoes to class themselves as such. The census bureau's instructions were that the term black included all negroes of full blood, and that the term mulatto included all not of full blood, but who had a perceptible trace of negro blood. Hundreds and hundreds of negroes who were not black, neither were they mulattoes, classed themselves as citizens of mixed parentage, being so confused by the complex instructions of the census bureau. Therefore, in the mentioning of these negroes, they are put in the "foreign or mixed parentage" class.—New York Age. --- By will of Catherine Simons, a colored woman who spent most of her life as a cook, several Boston institutions are to receive bequests from her estate of $6,000. The will leaves $500 to St. Monica's Home for Sick Colored Women and Children of Boston, $500 to the Church of the Holy Trinity, the largest Episcopal church in this city. There are small bequests, $500 to the Home for Aged Colored Women in Boston, $500 to St. Augustine's church, Boston, $500 to Woodlawn cemetery in Everett, Mass., and to relatives. The residue is left in trust with ex-Gov. Frank B. Weeks of this city, the income to be devoted to charitable purposes at his discretion. Miss Simons in her early days was a slave. She worked as a domestic for many years in the homes of Middletown families. In Boston she was cared for during her last days by friends. She did much for the poor of her race. Distant relatives are making a contest on the ground that she was of unsound mind. All the indications point to a bumper cotton crop for this year. This item of news is second in importance only to the paramount and cheering fact that the watermelon crop is all that could be desired, and the country, therefore, is safe! On with the dance, let joy be unconfined! Now that Champion Jack Johnson has blighted another "white hope," and thereby inflated his own bank account, he has opened up a cafe in Chicago, whose fixtures and appointments cost something like $50,000. Running a cafe as a side line seems to have long been a manta with prize fighters. Nine-tenths of the ring masters have tried it—and come to grief. It is predicted that in going into that line himself, Lit'l Arthur has established a "rat hole" which in time will devour more money than he can make. However, when the game is over, John will have the consolation of reflecting, "I have had my fling." There will be no color line drawn at the cafe, but it is doubtful if its negro patrons will be very numerous. Everything is so fine and so costly that it would bankrupt even a well-to-do negro to loiter around there for a day or two. We can't stay there an hour—Old Hickory. No one has ever yet strained their back muscles, breaking bad habits. Only silly bachelors joke about marriage. Perhaps you once were the "underdog," the "downtrodden race," but now you stand forth in the glorious light of liberty and all indications are that some of you will triumph, rising superior and dominant in the possession of all that goes to make a people honored and blessed. We are not prophets, we have only a vague idea of the millenium, but our hopefulness and belief in the courage and ability of our people, cause us to take this optimistic view of present tendencies.—Illinois Chronicle.

He was a sewing machine agent of the most aggressive type. For 20 minutes the lady of the house had been awaiting an opportunity to say she already possessed one. At last he paused. Only long enough, however, to thrust a card into the lady's hand. The bit of pasteboard was certainly a novelty. "My name Is Sellum," it read, "of the firm of Blang and Company, sewing machine manufacturers, and I intend to prove to you that it is madness to defer purchasing one of our unequaled machines." After a long description of the machine came the following: "You may plead that you are unable to work a machine. I will remove that objection in 15 minutes, or in three lessons Will call next Wednesday." When the agent called again a six-foot man opened the door and blandly remarked. "You're the sewing machine man, I suppose?" "Yes, I called last week, and—" "Yes, I know," interrupted the big man "You don't know me, I suppose? My name's Bury, of Bury and Keepem, undertakers, and I intend to prove to you that it is madness to defer purchasing one of our unequaled coffins." The agent began to edge away "You may plead that you are scarcely qualified for a coffin," the big man went on. I will remove that objection in ten seconds" But the agent simply flew from the house. A. Drifting Apart "Well, what did you think of Dr. Plumper's sermon this morning?" asked Mrs. Poopleigh of Mr. Poopleigh, as they were returning home "I'm afraid, my dear," said Mr. Poopleigh, "that I failed to catch the drift of his remarks." "No doubt, no doubt," observed Mrs. Poopleigh, in caustic tones. "And the reason why you failed to catch the drift of Dr. Plumper's remarks was probably because you yourself were drifting toward Slumberland." L. Tom—She broke the engagement. Dick—What did Harry do? Tom—He sent her a bill for the use of the engagement ring for the time they were engaged. At Two in the Morning The Jolly Fellow (to the man above, who has been dragged from his bed by the wild ringing of his front doorbell)—One of your windows is wide open. Mr. Dressing Gown—Thanks, awfully, old man. Which one is it? The Jolly Fellow—The one you have your head out of. Ta ta!—Pearson's Weekly. Not Fishless. Bill—Where have you been? Bill—Fishing. "Any luck?" "Well, I'm taking home quite a few fish." "Where are they?" "In my pocket. I stopped at the store and bought a can of sardines." An Encouraging Observation. "The prayers delivered at the great conventions have been beautiful." "Yes," replied the delegate. "I am pleased to observe that our nation is progressing in religious ideals. The prayers were the only utterances that met with unanimous approval." Doctor's Revenge. Landlady—You believe in mustard plasters? M. D.—Rather! I always order them for patients who call me out in the middle of the night when there's nothing the matter with 'em.—The.Scalpel. AFRAID TO ASSERT HIMSELF Agreeable Person Assented to Every Proposition Made to Him Rather Than Argue. "Don't you think a man is a fool to try to drown his sorrows in strong liquor?" "Yes." "And don't you think chewing tobacco is 'an awful nasty habit?'" "Yes." "Don't you think that a man who smokes is foolish to burn up money in that way?" "Yes." "Don't you think it is ridiculous to deny women the right to vote when tramps and ignorant foreigners who have no knowledge of our institutions are permitted to ballot?" "Don't you think a woman who does a man's work as well as a man could do it ought to have a man's pay?" "Yes." "For mercy's sake why don't you speak up and argue about something? Haven't you an idea of your own?" Our Own Minstrels. "Mistah Walkah, wot am de diffunc'tween a pantry an'—an' a Mexican?" "I give it up, Sam; what is the difference between a pantry and a Mexican?" "De one am a larder an' de uddah am a greaser." "Ladies and gentlemen, the celebrated baritone, Sig. Kawilin de Kowzome, will now sing the favorite sentimental ballad entitled, "My Heart Is Yours, Reginald, but I'll Go Back to Ma Betore I Darn Your Socks." WOLF Jim—Well, vacation time is here Where are you going? Jack—Into debt. Wasted His Time. "How is your boy getting along since he graduated?" "Poorly. He was too frivolous at college."

"What horse is there for me this morning, Pati?" "Well, sor, the one you rode yesterday is lame and the one you rode the day before is at the vet'inary's." "What did your master say I was to ride today?" "He sald you was to ride a strate car, sor."—Life She—Here is a woman who says the only girl to marry is one who has been taught domestic science. He—What sort of education is that? She—It's the sort that turns a kitchen into an experimental laboratory and makes the garbage can a retort of waste tissues and discarded caloric. She—If you could only have one wish what would it be? He—It would be that—that—oh. If I only dared to tell you, what it would be! She—Well, go on. Why do you suppose I brought up the wishing subject? Literary Progress "Do you think that friend of ours adds to his prestige by quoting the names of great men of the past?" "Undoubtedly. He raises his campaign literature from the rank of current fiction to that of the historic novel." Benefactors. "The food barons are claiming credit for putting up the price of food-stuffs as benefactors of their kind." "How do they do it?" "They say all experts are advising the public in the summer to eat sparingly." Hampered. "Now, my dear young lady," said the professor. "You are going out into the world. My advice to you is this: Be yourself." "I'd like to, professor," was the unexpected response, "but my dressmaker won't let me." Confidential. "Say, what was that story about, Elvira?" "Well, can you keep a secret?" "Sure." "So can I." His Chief One. "Are you foolish enough to think you can drown your troubles in drink?" Lady Constance Stewart Richardson, barefoot dancer and otherwise advocate of the terpslchorean art in costumes that are barely described by the word "scant," will return to America from London in a few weeks, this time to earn her living as a professional. A. Few of Lady Constance's friends in England believe that much will be seen of her in her native land again. Not openly, but in whispers that might be heard across a ballroom by a person with good ears, it is said that the titled dancer has so offended the well-known Puritanism of King George and Queen Mary that she is persona non grata at court and her name has been erased from the calling list of many of England's peeresses because of the attitude of the sovereigns Especially has Queen Mary cause for feeling "muffed" at Lady Constance, for in that person's latest escape it was her majesty in person who received an afront. The titled dancer, swimmer and sportswoman in that incident was not only guilty of the unpardonable crime of failing to recognize the queen, but she was guilty of gross rudeness in telling her to move aside and not obstruct her view in an art gallery. Of course, the queen hasn't forgotten the incident and it is probable that she won't care if Lady Constance doesn't come back. Her coming appearance as a professional dancer recalls an incident in the life of King Edward that was the cause of a great deal of comment at one time. Lady Constance danced as "Salome" at a house party at which his majesty was a guest. When she finished the mad whirl the king applauded, and carrying out the conceit of the dance, asked in the words of King Herod: "Now, what may I do for you?" "Give me the head of Sir Ernest Cassell on a charger," was the quick retort. The king was reported to have been very angry at the lack of taste of this allusion to his financial adviser PRINCE OF WALES WILL MAKE A VISIT TO U. S. The prince of Wales, who is now the guest of the marquis and marshaless de Breteuil, in Paris, has written to King George and Queen Mary urging that he be given permission to make his visit to the United States in September or October instead of deferring it until the following fall, as was previously planned. An incident which happened recently at toness de Breteuil, in Paris, has written to King George and Queen Mary urging that he be given permission to make his visit to the United States in September or October instead of deferring it until the following fall, as was previously planned. An incident which happened recently at Bevilliers is responsible for the boy prince's sudden desire to see the new world. The marquis and marchioness de Breteuil are both very fond of the society of young people and the park at Bevilliers is a favorite happy hunting ground of lads of good family on a visit in France. The young son of an American millionaire was recently invited to make an excursion to the park by a boy friend, a nephew of one of the high officials at the British embassy. He voted the chateau a "bully place" and was soon on the very best terms with his host and hostess, who introduced him to the British heir apparent, preserving, of course, the latter's incognito. But the millionaire's son placed the prince at sight and jolled his royal highness to the top of his bent. King George's son enjoyed it, made much of his American acquaintance, showed him through the gardens, and, in short, proved himself the fine, manly spirited boy he is, extracting from the lad from over the ocean a mint of information about America and Americans. "You've got to see the states," said the American boy. "I'm going to," said the prince. "Come this fall and I'll try to show you 'round." "That's a bargain," returned the king's son and the two youths "shook" to seal the compact. That is why the prince of Wales is so eager to hasten the date of his American tour. Good Idea In New York. A "vocational analyst" has been engaged by a New York city benevolent association to assist boys in "finding themselves" industrially. Boys usually simply drift into "jobs" without any knowledge as to their adaptability for them, and the vocational expert will try to get the human industrial misfits into places for which they are psychologically and physically adapted. As it is estimated that two-thirds of our youths make a mistake in their first choice of a vocation, there is evidently plenty of work for the vocational analyst. Oh, Joy! "Hurray! Hurray!" "Why so happy, girl?" "This summer resort is deadly dull, but I am amply repaid for my trip." "As to how?" "My poodle has gained an ounce and a half."

[aaa EEE Lest we forget, we say it yet that it is the duty of every Negro in Savannah to aid in the raising of the fund forthe poying for the site for the Carnegie Library. The recent session of — the National Negro Business League in Chicago orings to our mind again the necessity of a stiong lo- cal busiesss league in our city. A move in the vicht direction will be the action on the part of some of our Teading business men toward the organization of a business league among us ! Advices froin nearly all parts of our cuantry indicate a spirit of qzaft and lawlessness amony us. The recent disclosures in Detroit, Pittsburg, New York and other places present to us sad pictures indee?. It is sincerely hoped that giaft and Inwlessness wherever found will be destroyed both root and branch in such a way., that their retura will be well nigh: int possible, Tr is to bo regretted that so many Rigits and brawls have been the or- der of the day en some of our re- vent river boat exemsions. Tt would be a part of wisdom on the spar. of the promoters of these sontings to mark the rowdies who infest the river bo:zt from time to time and place a ban en them. As Tong as they refuse to « t decently they should be made to understa 1d that their absence is much more desired than their presence. The man of worth nowadays is the. man with a bank account. “Cutis and collars and a very few dJollars’* may have been in the past the criterion by which a man was judged but not so now. The sooner some of our young men realize this. the better it will be for them. ‘To have a bank account, be a rev- istered voter and have only one suit of clothes is far belter for one to hace thin only a few suits of clothing as an asset and nothing eke. Young men, start today to day to build for yourselves a wor- thy future. Rezrembor that clothes do not make the man. It takes something else. Have you got it Af uot. it is-your duty to get it, The recent Iynching of the col- ered boy in Columbus, Ga., comes as terrible indictment upon the name and reputation of our State. It isto be regretted that such hap- penines take place within the bor- ders of our commonwealth. Mob violence not only brings conster nation and terror to a community }ut it hurts its progress. The authorities of Muscogee county nave the opportunity of their lives ta demonstrate the supremacy of Jaw over inwlessness. ‘The perpe- trators of this dastardly crime Should be punished to the full ex: tent of the law. They are mur. derers and should be so: dealt with. It is sincerely hoped that both the state and county authorities wil see to it that ‘the proper punish ment is meted out to these offend. ero, . Without doubt, one of the great- est defects of our people and a most telling drawback to our prog ress, is the lack of race solidarity or cooperation among us. Content only ou our personal achievements, too many of us by far, go along day by day tn the even tefor of our way without any regard or thought of the strugeles and hardships of our people as a race. ‘Too many of us fail to realize the fact that it isa duty of each person in a com- munity to take an active interest in anything thet is for the public good. There are those among us .whose vocation makes them one one hundred per cent. dependent upon the members of our race for a livelthood, who are never seen or heard from whenever a move- ment is Jsunched ora. step tale for the welfare and development of the race. Even movements of the muse vital importance to them are easily brushed aside on some flimsy | pretext that cannot and does not | hold good forany period. Itis an established fact that certain of our men of influence und prominence fail at times to give their support toa movement for the common good on the ground of personal un- triendliness toward the person or persors who per chance may take the leai in the movement. This indee | is tobe regretted. History Hives no record of any people who have succeeded who hare failed to seb together on common ground when the future welfare and main- tenance of thet people were at stake. Situated as we are, with prejudice, race discrimination and curtailment on everyside, our peo- ple are now Lying in the most crucial period in their history. The lines, are tightening on us every day. In polities, in business, in religion and in every otber aye- nue of activity we find thas we are regarded asa separate and distinct people.

In Which Class Are You? "Wise men are instructed by Reason? men of less understanding by Exeprience, all others by Necessity. "The judgment and sincerity exercised by individuals in their efforts for protection, uplift and development of themselves not those dependent upon them, are the unmistakable marks of the difference in men. "This suggests the question of Insurance. "Happy is the young man, who by Reason and a knowledge of men and things, protects himself against sickness and accidents by a liberal insurance policy, for he has a certain "peace of mind" denied the thoughtless. Besides, in youth, the cost of insurance is smaller than in later years. "Fortunate is the man, who by Experience with unexpected Doctor's bills appreciates the value of an Insurance policy for himself, odhane dependent upon nim "Wretched is the man who, when the ravages of time have reduced his youth-old age of affliction and discouragement, first awakens to the Necessity of Insurance.

BOWEN H H 605 West Broad Street Phone 4096 SAVANNAH, GA THE SCRAP BOOK "One thing that you can't find in New York is a professional Chinese nurse," a doctor said. "I had the town raked fore and aft for one not long ago. A slick American recently come home from the Orient declared that a Chinese nurse was essential to recovery, and the doctors on the case instituted a thorough search for such an attendant. Sometimes I think there ought to be a few of them imported, in spite of labor laws. Every person I have met who has ever been attended by a Chinese nurse cannot be satisfied with any other. There are a number of them in Chinese cities. They have been trained by American and European nurses and missionaries, but as soon as they get the hang of the business they go their instructors one better in gentleness and soothing ways. It is common for persons who have known their administrations abroad to ask for them in New York, but they cannot be found." NEW STRIKE METHOD. A new sort of strike has been invented by the waiters of a fashionable cafe in Prague. The proprietor had refused to raise their wages. As they had declared that they would not do a stroke of work until he did this, he was much gratified to see them all arrive the very morning after their ultimatum. There was a change in his feelings when they all sat down at the little table for guests and facetiously called for drinks. Neither persuasion nor threats could induce them to go, and at last the proprietor had to call in the police and turn them out. They were not in the least daunted, and announced that they would come back the next day with a number of their colleagues. They hoped to be a party of five hundred. The struggle is not yet ended, and the usual frequenters of the cafe are following its developments with interest—Manchester Guardian FORTUNE FOR INVENTION. There is a handsome fortune awaiting the person who will invent a method of curing hams and bacon from which the skin has been removed Albert Halstead, American consul at Birmingham, reports that the increasing use of pigskin as leather and its tendency to advance in price have made the leather manufacturers cast wistful eyes at the skin that is wasted on being left on pork products. The Leather Trades Review estimates that there is a yearly loss of skins amounting to about three million dollars in Great Britain and Ireland alone. At Twin Falls, Idaho, a swarm of bees settled in the spout of a stand pipe at the water tank, and when the fireman on the first train came along and attempted to lower it there was great excitement in the neighborhood. He was so vigorously attacked that he fled from the tender, the engineer was driven from the cab, the brakemen locked themselves in the caboose at the rear end of the train; the fireman and switchman were routed, but after an hour's fight with the bees a farmer came along, turned a small stream from a garden hose on them, quickly scooped them into a box, put them under his arm and went along home. Then the train moved on. KING GEORGE DETHRONED. The slight extent to which the king of England can influence men's fashions is shown by the practical disappearance of the frock coat in New York and London in favor of the cutaway Yet King George and the prince of Wales still stick to the frock, as may be seen by the photograph of these personages in the act of performing their social duties. The rebellion of the king against putting on a high hat at Henley shows, on the ether hand, that he is, to that extent at least, with the sane and sensible. MOUNTAIN SOLD AT AUCTION. A curious auction has just taken place at Grandson, Canton of Vaud, Switzerland, the principal "article" being a mountain. It is named Erses, near Mont Aubert, in the Jura Alps, and has an altitude of about 1,500 feet, with its slopes well covered with timber. Twenty years ago the same mountain was sold for $13,000, but it has greatly increased in value, and was knocked down for $46,400. PUZZLES ASTRONOMERS. One of the most astonishing objects in the heavens is the great nebula in the constellation Andromeda, which is visible as a misty speck to the naked eye. It has long puzzled astronomers because, while its structure—a series of vast rings surrounding a central mass—suggests a gaseous constitution, its spectrum is continuous, resembling that of the sun. It has been suggested that it may be composed of stars constituting a universe external to ours. Studies of its parallax, however, indicate that it is nearer to us than some of the well-known stars, such as Capella; and Gore, the English astronomer, points out that if the Andromeda nebula were assumed to be an external universe, having a diameter comparable with that of the milky way, its mass would be forty million million times the mass of the sun. This is regarded as incredible and so may be taken as an additional argument in favor of the view that this nebula is a member of our system—Harper's Weekly A GERMLESS DRINK. Many of us have seen the bubbler principle at public drinking places, but a New York man has adapted it to be used with the bottled spring water so popular in offices. Where the splogt would be on the ordinary cooler there is a laterally extending pipe about a foot long. At the end of this is a small basin with a mouthpiece in the center. A plunger keeps this opening normally closed, but when the plunger is pushed in the weight of the water in the bottle causes a miniature geyser to spout up from the mouthpiece, and the person desiring a drink can be accommodated without having to use a cup or glass that is used by everybody else in the office and by people passing through. A wastepile carries the waste water to a bucket below the fountain. NEEDED A BRACER A horse belonging to a resident of Bayonne, N J., dropped into a well eighteen feet deep and containing six feet of water. He landed head up, but after the rigged derrick and hours of manipulation restored him to his family, was decidedly "all in." There fore, his eloquent plea for a 'bracer was met with alacrity, and a pint of whisky was poured down his throat, after which he rose comfortably, whinled his approval of the brand, and proceeded to demonstrate that he never felt better in his life. BAG KEEPS WATER COOL. Probably the Illinois man who has invented a novel water cooler has traveled in Australia. There all the railroads have a canvas bag filled with water hanging from the rear platform. The water in these bags is kept cool by evaporation and the same principle applies to the water bag seen here. This receptacle is made of a material which possesses the peculiar quality of holding the water yet exuding enough moisture to prevent the sun from appreciably affecting the temperature of the water. It requires no stretch of imagination to see how convenient such a bag would be for motorists, not only providing a perennial supply of fresh, cool water for drinking purposes, but for replenishing the car mechanism. CORK TREE. The cork tree is a species of oak in Spain the outer bark is harvested from the same tree once every nine or ten years. The best cork comes from trees that are 50 to 100 years old. Instead of injuring the tree, stripping the bark seems to add impetus to the growth of a new coal. The yield of a tree varies from 50 pounds to 500. What is known as the "cork bark elm" in your section is also called the "witch elm" in some parts of Canada, from the weird ghastly appearance of its boughs and trunk. Although somewhat similar in appearance to the cork oak, it has not the slightest value for its bark. The Spanish tree would almost certainly not thrive in these latitudes. THE BARK OF THE DOG. It is a fact that wild dogs do not bark. They wine, growl, howl, but the true bark is never heard among them. The explosive noise familiar to us all in the bark of the domestic dog is undoubtedly an acquired faculty. In a word, the barkling of the domesticated dog is an effort on the animal's part to speak, which he derives from his association with man. The dog's bark is, of course, varied in its expression. Anybody can tell the difference between the bark of welcome that the dog gives his master and the bark of defiance that he offers to the stranger who falls under his suspicion. CAT'S DEVOTION. Eight persons gave their lives to a cat which gave an alarm of fire in a house in the Welsh village of Cliffynnd, Pontyprldd, Glamorganshire, early the other day. The occupant of the house was aroused by the persistent cries of the animal, which had entered his bedroom, and found that a fire had broken out in the kitchen. The housekeeper and six children were warned of the danger and were able to leave the premises in safety. TO CUT DOWN SIZE Paper Money Bills Are to Be Made Smaller. New Currency, Can Then Be Carried in a Pocket Book Without Folding—Only Objection is Two Sizes of Money. Washington.—Despite the fact that the rise in the cost of living within recent years makes a dollar look smaller to most of us than it did a decade ago, the treasury department has decided to make the bills smaller than they are at present—not the purchasing power of the currency, but the size of the bills themselves. It has been decided that the paper money of today is too large for convenient handling. A dollar bill is now over three inches wide and a little over eight and one-quarter inches long. It is to be cut down to six by two and one-half inches. The treasury thinks that this reduced size of the currency will be vastly easier to handle and it is certain that it will mean a large annual saving on Uncle Sam's expense bills for paper. The economy on paper alone (for 240,000,000 bills issued per annum) will amount to 87,000. Then there will be an increased output of at least 25 per cent for a given amount of labor at the bureau of engraving and printing where all the paper money is manufactured. This gain, carried through all the processes of printing, examining, counting, drying, numbering, etc., will in itself represent more than $200,000 a year The notes being smaller, less engraving will be required for the plates from which they are printed. Less ink will be used—on item more important than one might imagine. Taking other items into account it is reckoned that the total saving to the government by reducing the size of paper money will be in the neighborhood of $615,000 per annum. In addition, it is expected that the "life" of a dollar bill of the new size will be much longer, than that of one of the present series. Requiring the less fold to be stowed away conveniently in a pocketbook or bill-fold of the ordinary size, it will last at least one-third longer in circulation, according to the estimate of treasury officials. Consequently there will be fewer notes to be redeemed as unit for future use and the force of the redemption division in this city can be cut down sufficiently to save some $50,000 a year in salaries. When it is considered that it costs the government one cent to print a paper dollar and put it into circulation, the importance of prolonging its "life" becomes manifest. Fortunately, the treasury has had an opportunity to make some advance tests, as they might be termed of the smaller money. All the paper money of the Phillippines (which has replaced the old Spanish notes) has been printed at the bureau of engraving and printing in this city. It is of exactly the size now proposed for our own green backs and certificates—six by two and a half inches. Up to date it has proved satisfactory in all respects. The new paper money will be small enough to be carried flat—l. e., without folding—in a pocketbook of moderate size. It will also be very much easier to handle. Experiments made with bank clerks and tellers in this city recently have shown that the small notes do not cramp the fingers as do the old ones. They have also the additional advantage that banks can store in their vaults 25 per cent more of them within a given space. The only objection to the new departure seems to be that for some time there will be two sizes in circulation. But this difficulty is to be obviated as far as possible by preparing in advance large quantities of the small notes, which, on a given date, will be changed for the big ones at subtreasuries and other large financial institutions throughout the country. By this means it is hoped that all the "large" bills will be collected within two months after the small ones are put into circulation and that this plan will obviate the confusion which would probably result from the two sizes of bills being in circulation at one and the same time. In addition to changing the size of the bills it is also planned to reduce the nineteen designs now on the currency to nine, using the same portrait on one denation - throughout. Thus, the $1 bill, whether treasury note, bank note or certificate, will bear the head of Washington in the center of its face. Its holder will thus know the denation without looking at the figures and cashiers of banks and others who handle great quantities of money will be enabled thereby to detect counterfeits more readily. MANY VISIT MOUNT VERNON. The visitors to the home of Washington, Mount Vernon, during the past year have numbered 113,000, the total receipts reported from the fees amounting to $28,250, which will be used for the general expenses incurred in preserving Mount Vernon. A new $8,000 pler has been ordered by the Mount Vernon Ladies' association. The wharf at the present time is a wooden one and is beginning to rot. The new wharf is to be of a substantial character. The ladies have to cut their plans for improvements according to their cloth, and sometimes run pretty short of funds. WASHINGTON MONUMENT BUILDER DEAD. There died recently in Washington a man whose name ought to be known on both continents, and yet it is more than likely that his death scarcely caused a sigh from one of the thousands who have viewed his handiwork. This man was Thomas C. Purcell, builder of the Washington monument. He had the distinction of laying the second corner stone of the Washington monument and every other stone until the aluminum was placed on the apex. He was 88 years old, and has long been a resident of the District. He is said to have been the best and most artistic stone mason in the country. He was a native of Ireland, and came to this country when about 23 years of age. When he came to Washington he worked on the extension of the Capitol. He set the second cornerstone of the Washington monument in 1880 under direction of Col. Thomas Lincoln Casey. He personally set every stone in the exterior walls of the monument and supervised the setting of all the interior stones. He was familiar with its construction in every detail, and a few years ago published a nationwide famous history of the monument. The last work which Mr. Purcell supervised was the construction of the new naval observatory building at the reservation on Wisconsin avenue. Under his supervision the corner stones of the patent office, the old postoffice building, Cabin John Bridge, the war and navy department building and the pedestals of the Lincoln and McPherson monuments were laid. Mr Purcell was personally acquainted with almost every president since the Civil war. He was a great favorite with Presidents Lincoln and Grant. He is serviled by three sons and three daughters CELEBRATE JULY 26. The postoffice department celebrated its Fourth of July on July 26. It was in 1691 that the progenitor of the present postoffice was planned, when William and Mary, by letters patent, granted to one Thomas Neale, master of the mint, constituted him the first postmaster general of America. Neale delegated the task of establishing a postal service in the wilderness of the new world to a versatile, energetic Scotchman, Andrew Hamilton. Hamilton's first service, a weekly post, was from Portsmouth, N. H., to Boston, Saybrook, New York, Philadelphia, Maryland and Virginia, though the service was dependent to a large degree upon the weather. The receipts of the postoffice of New York city during the year 1693 were £61. Then England bought it back in 1707, paying Neale for his grant £1,664. One hundred years ago the whole country had only 2,300 post offices, as against 59,850 in 1910. The total receipts in the earlier year were $551,694. Since then they have been multiplied more than 400 times to reach the $224,128,657 of 1910. And it was on July 26, 1775, that the postoffice department was really established, although it was then very much like it is now. MILITIA TO GET REVOLVERS. The present rate of delivery of automatic 45-caliber pistols, model of 1911, indicates that the ordinance department of the army will be able to begin to supply these pistols in quantities to the organized militia about December, 1912. In the meantime the ordinance department can supply to each state not to exceed 20 pistols, with extra magazines, holsters and ammunition, charging them to the quota of the state through the division of military affairs, or the pistol, holster and ammunition can be sold to the several states by the ordinance department for cash under the provision law The price of the pistol will be $14.75; holster. $1.55; ball cartridge for automatic pistol, $20.75 per 1,000, and the price of the slide for carrying the holster on the officer's leather saber belt probably 20 cents. A leather pocket to carry extra magazine, and web pockets to be worn on the field belt, and web field belt are being designed by the ornance department. PENSION OFFICE SWAMPED. The pension office is fairly swamped with applications. Over 425,000 have been filed under the new act passed May 11; hundreds are pouring in each day, and the pension office, which has to take care of them all, is undergoing the greatest rush of business that it has experienced since its foundation. The payments on the new pension began July 4, and arrangements to pay them up to date just as fast as possible are being rushed. But because of the work incident to filling the applications, and then searching the records to determine whether they should be allowed, it has been absolutely impossible for the pension office to keep up with the task. W. D. Howells, at a luncheon at Kittery Point, said of a certain popular novelist: "There is about as much poetry in him as there is in McMasters. "McMasters, you know, was walking with a beautiful girl in a wild New England wood. "What is your favorite flower, Mr. McMasters," the girl asked softly. "McMasters thought a moment, then cleared his throat and answered: that and insWered: "Well, I believe I like the whole wheat hss!." WHEN THE HOURIS DRIED THEIR HAIR WHEN THE HOURIS DRIED THEIR HAIR Or What the Doctor Discovered in the Heat of New York. (Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) "Did he take it, mother, did he?" "Now girls." Mrs. Vernon protested, breathlessly, "not at all at once, please. Yes, he took it. Bab, dear, don't prance." "But, mother, I'm dancing for joy," tall, fifteen-year-old Bab protested. "He's such a dear." "For how much? asked Josephine, briskly, "It's worth ten with breakfast, munis, summertime, you know." "But he takes his meals all out, Jo. And I let him have it for eight. He seems such a quiet person, just a big nice boy." "Boy? Hasn't he a Vandyke and moustache, mother?" "Carlotta, not so loud. No, he is quite smooth shaven. He is a doctor. He has come on from the middle west." Indiana, I think he said—to take up a special summer course here, and he needs a quiet place to live, with no distractions." She paused impressively to let this point penetrate. The guilty four surrounded her with sober faces and grave, sympathetic eyes. There was Bab, blonde as a Christmas doll, and tall for her age; Josephine, demure and brown eyed, with satin bands of dark hair bound about her small head, Madonna-wise. Bab said that Jo resembled a sleek young doe, with wide surprised eyes. Virginia came next, wondrously gentle, and fair like Bab. All the Vernon mischief found spring and gount in Virginia's silence, and just now she sighed, as if over the doctor's impending fate. Last of all, Carletta with her fox hair and fox eyes, half closed and full of amber glints, Carletta who would wear gowns of dull apple greens, and tenderest browns and maunes, and look like a grave, sweet princess maiden "We won't bother him mother dear," said Carletta now, kindly and understandingly, "Don't you worry." So Dr Arnold settled down in his summer quarters contentedly, thankfully. The house was one of the old mansions in the Washington square district, long since turned into a select rooming place. With four daughters to care for and educate in her widowhood, Mrs. Vernon had chosen this as the most comfortable, and as Virginia put it, inconspicuous way of earning a living in New York. The doctor liked it. He was from a small town, thriving, but lacking frills. He was past his first struggles, and has succeeded. Ever since his interne days in Chicago he had longed to spend a season each year in New York, taking up special courses in one branch and another, and this was the first chance. There were no distractions, no annoyances at the Vernon house, he found. True, in the early morning as he passed out for breakfast he caught sight of various young persons, all with averted faces and hasty footsteps. "Good morning, doctor," each would murmur, and gravely would the doctor acknowledge the greeting. He wondered how many daughters Mrs. Vernon had. Saturday afternoon there were no classes at the clinics. The afternoons were for home study, he had decided. Seated by one of the long French windows, half hidden by cool art serim curtains, he beheld one very young person sally stealthily forth into the back garden and proceed to dry her hair in the sun. It was a pretty garden, small as some toy one of Nippon. A stray bit of holy wilt filtered airly through the doctor's mind "My love is like a garden inclosed." This was a garden inclosed in high brick walls, hidden by heavy masses of ivy. In the small diamond center of grass stood a tiny arbor, overrun with wistaria. There were pansy beds and mignonette borders, and low groups of dusky red and gold nasturtiums. The doctor closed his book and regarded the young person drying her hair in the sun. It was beautiful hair. She might have been the love of the South Wind, My Lady Dandellon, with that golden glory falling about her. Her hair took on most wondrous glints in the sunlight, the doctor mused. This must be one of Mrs. Vernon's daughters. The youngest, possibly. Her shoulders drooped in schoolgirl fashion. The doctor resumed his reading. Presently when he glanced up there were two girls in the garden. Industriously and without regard for the world above the garden, they dried their hair in the sun. Josephine's hair was very long. She looked like some brown nymph of the woods when it fell about her. The doctor became meditative, almost retrospective. In this day of artificiality and pretense it was refreshing and reassuring to find here, in the heat of New York, such normal, beautiful crowns of glory, he told himself. It showed poise of health, of mental and physical health. Here Virginia stole forth, robed in the white garments of a blameless life, her long blonde curls dripping like some Lurline of the Rhine. "You'll get your kimono all wet," admonished so, the practical. Virginia laid her fingers to her lips. "Mother says we must not talk. We might disturb the doctor, girls." The doctor closed his book and laid it on the desk. Beneath his windows, to and fro along the narrow walks, paced the girls, drying their hair in the sunlight Women to him meant frail, nervous, pittable creatures, handcapped by the old curse of Eden Young or old, rich or poor, he had grown to class them indiscriminately as patients of the Infinite, ever alling. These girls were not of this class Every vibrant electric hair on their lovely heads upheld its own affidavit as to their perfect health, and even while the doctor mused, impersonally, professionally even, out stepped Carletta, her tawny curls clinging to her head, a huge turkish towel wrapped around her shoulders over a dress of silk the color of a lily leaf. Sunlight and firelight mingled, the doctor thought, watching that radiant topknot steal the sun's glory. She lowered her head and swept the curling mass forward, and the doctor knew no man's eyes had ever seen its like before. He moved the curtains back with one hand, and lo, the four lifted innocent eyes of wonderment, and Virginia asked: Are we disturbing you, doctor? And the doctor was abashed. He protested that he was not being disturbed, but that it was a great pleasure. Bab chuckled. The doctor bowed discreetly and withdrew his head, selzed his hat and went out for a walk to forget the view of the garden disclosed. "I'm afraid we did disturb the doctor, girls," said Carlotta. "Maybe he isn't used to a galaxy, girls." "Are we that, Carlie?" Bab cried joyously "Something starry and beauteous! He looked at you the longest." "His eyes were glued to your hair," pronounced Jo Carlotta laughed. "That's a neat little picture, Jo. I must say Hope they come off easily. Remember once at school when a boy threw chewing gum at my hair, I mean my rippling curls, and you girls had to cut it out before mother discovered it." "Well, I don't care," said Virginia, firmly. "I think the doctor is just as tame and intelligent as he can." "Intellectual, Gene Animals are intelligent." "Man is the noblest brute of all, salth someone He has a most intelligent face." Every Saturday afternoon the doctor's study hour was interrupted by what he called in his heart of hearts the hair washing festival of the hours. Did he watch for it? The doctor was young and human, and he had an apreciation of the beautiful. Also, had he not come to New York to study life in all her myrtid phases. Most of all he watched for Carotta and her strange red gold curls, tawny as some fox of the woods. And he prolonged his weeks of special study One evening he was late from a lecture. As he bounded up the stairs, Mrs. Vernon met him, a trifle pale and worried. "Was there any accident in the subway, doctor? The girls are late, too" "None in the subway. There's a big fire upown I stayed to watch them take away the injured. It's the Washington theater." "The girls are there, Bab and Carlotta and Jo. Virginia stayed to keep me company. Oh, doctor, my girls—" The doctor became suddenly his professional self. "Get rooms ready. I may be able to bring them home. And keep yourself steady. They will need you, you know. Nobody was killed, Mrs. Vernon." His cheery, strong voice buoyed her up even after the door slammed behind him Swinging along Waverly place, around Fifth avenue, and so to the Eighth avenue stand, the doctor took a taxi up to the hospital where the injured had been taken. Yes, there was a Miss Vernon, they told him. Her sisters had only minor injuries in the crush that followed the fire panic. He told them he was the Vernon family physician, and was taken to the long ward where Carlotta lay with other girls and women. He drew the screen around her cot and knelt. "Dear, dear, are you badly hurt?" he asked huskily. For the first time in his career the doctor lost his professional calm. Carlotta opened her eyes and smiled. "Not much, doctor, not nearly so much as most of the poor creatures. My shoulder hurts, and—what do you think—my hair caught fire from a falling curtain as we came from the boxes. Not all of it—" It lay on the pillow about her, singed and shortened, but beautiful as ever, and the doctor pressed his face down on it. "I came to take you home to your mother, Carlotta," he said. "Do you mind?" "Mind what?" asked Carlotta. "I'm awfully in love with you, dear, and upset, and—oh, don't you know what it all means to me?" Carlotta's hand stole out to rest on his bowed head. "I know," she whispered. "I'm afraid we did bother you, doctor." "Say Jack." She moved her head nearer on the pillow. "Better take me home, hadn't you—Jack?" First Time George Leaves Home. "George is always looking for opportunities to show his devotion." "Yes." He said if I telegraphed him he wanted me to be sure to send a night message. I Dear boy. I wants to sit up all night to get it." She—I got an awful shock last night when I looked under the bed. He—You didn't see a man there! She—Mercy, no! A mouse. ° In Touch With Fashion What the Smartest Dressmakers Are Now Displaying— Hints That May Help the Undecided i >this out. people who dress well are rather afraid of eaploiting an ex- treme because they feel that those who dress for the moment will tahe tLis fashion as their own and com- monlze It; the latter are not struck with it, and the former, awaiting their ume, So bach to St, writes Anne Rit- tenhouse in the Philadelphia Record.

As a rule, we do not think much of the plan of following either oats or wheat with wheat. Continuous grow: ing of small grain Is not only hard on the solf, but it gives an unusual op- portunity for the weeds, insect, pests und diseases attacking grain crops to do their worst damage. We are quite sure that if winter wheat were never grown for more than two years in suc. cession on the same land, that the Hessian ‘fly would not be cattsing near. ly the trouble it 1s at present. Nevertheless, it will often happen with the very best of farmers that it is advisable to follow small grain with sinter wheat. To them we wish again to give this’ advice: Disk and plow as quickly as possible after the small grain hurvest. Se ff you can not stack the small gran, or In some way re- move the bundles, so that you can get on the land with a disk before the middle of July. After you have given the land a good double disking. see If you cannot give a good plowing within a week or tno ‘The disking serves to check the loss of molsture. but does not seem to take the place of plowing under the conditions which _prevall when winter wheat {s followed by small grain. The {deal seed bed for winter wheat is that prepared by deep plowing, in July. This was indicated by a Kansas experiment two years ago. Disking without plowing gave a yield of four bushels to the acre; shallow plowing in September gave a yield of fourteen bushels to the acie: deep plowing In September a yleld of nearly sixteen bushels to the acre; deep plowing in July a yield of thirty-eight bushels to the acre. Deep plowing in July cost nearly $3 un acre, which was $3 In ex- cess of the expense of simply disking, but it pald many times over, for {t {n- creased the net profit by ‘more than $20 to the acre. = Remember that the ideal seed bed 1s one which has been stirred deeply several months previously, but has had time to become firm and compact. There Is an Inch of mellow surfaco soil on ton of the firm sub-surface soll which serves to hold the mots- ture. In such a seed bed, the mols- ture readily rises by capillarity from the sub-coll, but fs not lost because the dust mulch on the surface holds tt in. ‘Theoretically and practically, the best way to secure a seed bed is to plow deeply in midsummer and follow the Plowing every weeh or ten days with ia mood disking. 7 RICH MILK FROM FAT COWS Holstein Breeders Take Advantage of This Fact—Point Is of Anterest cave. Cows wbich are fat at the time of calving will, other conditions being equal, give richer milk than though they were thin. They take the fat from their backs and ribs and put it into the milk pail Holstein breed- ers have been taking advantage of ‘this fact. as Is Indicated by muny of the seven-day Holstein records. As an average of fourteen Holstein cos, Mt was*found that during seven days early in-the milking period. they had am dutter fat percentage of 4.55. But the average for the whole year was only 3.42. The Missouri experiment station has conducted some very: in- teresting Work In regard’ to this point. It has kept record on a number of cows which have been unusually fat at calving time Invariably the fat cows lost rapidly in flesh after calving, and the percentage of tat in the milk fs abnormally high. In one instance the percentage of fat in the milk three days after culving was 5.68. The per centage declined day by day till a | seek after culving ft was 4.34 and two weeks after calving It was 3.85. ‘The fact that fat cows are Ikely to give richer milk than though they were thin is not only a point of inter- est, but it {s of direct value. Tesides throwing some discredit on seven-day tests, it indicates the Importance of good feeding during the period just previous to calving. Just after calv- Ing it scoms to be necessary slightly to underfeed if the cow is to be in condition to put the greatest percent: axe of fat {nto the milk pail in 2 short ‘Shims. : ‘Turn the Hogs In the Orchard. One of the best ways of fighting worms and other insect pests of the orchard, aside from spraying, 1s to keep the infested fruit that has fallen under the trees cleaned up. It will pay to gather these rots and windfalls by hand or hogs or other stock may be turned into eat them. A great va- riety of fnsects will be destroyed in this way and that will mean fewer numbers to fight next year. No other method comes as near to controlling the apple maggot as this, as spraying will not reach It because the eggs are laid under the skin by the parent fly. The young maggot on hatching bores along under the skin and after the apple has fallen and {s rotting it emerges and goes into the ground to transform Into a fly the next spring. ‘This pest works almost entirely on the sweet and early Varieties of ap- ples, Butter for Customers, Dairying is the mainstay of my business and I provide butter for a number of private customers, says a writer In an exchange.

GROWING CROPS FOR SILAGE Cow Peas Sowed in Orebard as Cover Crop Which Are Left for the *- Chickens to Harvest. . Tam a trucker and fruit grower and rhise come chickens and grow soy beans and vetches to fit this business. After potatoes we sow rye and vetch. The next year we cut the rye ‘and vetch for hay, sow soy beans, cut these for hay, disk and sow to rye and vetch and plow under the follow- ing season for some crop. says a writer In the Agriculturist. - We sometimes, after early potatoes. sow rye and vetch. ‘This early sow- ing gives an immense growth of or- ganic matter to plow under next spring for sweet corn, melons or straw- berries, Among the fruit trees we sow (ow peas as a cover crop, and these we let the chichens harvest. I have talked with a number of seedsmen, and they all, tell me that the sale of these sedds fs increasing. I have been recommending farmers to grow soy beans for sale. On account of the scab germs of the potato get- Ung into my soll. I am thinking of dropping out some potatoes and put- ting in soy beans. So far, we have used these soy" beans for hay. All live stock take to this hay and thrive upon ft. The soll on which the beuns are grown is Improved mechan!- cally, and in its nitrogen content, as shown by the thrifty growth and dark green color of the leaves of plants fol- lowing the soys. At the Ohfo station they put into the silo two loads of corn and one I6ad of soy beans and find {t an econ- omical feed for the production of milk, This changes the rotation to one of four years; corn, soy beans, wheat, clover, thus bringing in a legume ev- ery two years, where before (corn, wheat and clover) the legume came in once in three years. CLEANING IN POULTRY YARD Make Suré to Reach All Crevices and Cracks-with Thorough Applica- ‘tion of Whitewash. Summer time Is the season of house cleaning in the poultry yard. To clean the chicken house, take out roosts, drop boards, nest boxes, feed hoppers. etc, and brush down the walls. With a spray pump or white- wash brush, wash thé interlor thor- oughly, and apply a coat of whitewash with 2 per cent of carbolic acid in the miature Make sure that you reach all of the cracks, crevtces and knotholes. Remove the upper layer from a dirt floor,and fill up with coarse sand or gravel. Wash the win- dows and muslin curtains and leave open to sun and air Go over the house for openings that might make drafts, and repair them Don’t pit lousy hens in a clean hen house. If the weather is warm a thorongh washing in tobacco water, or a mild solution of sheep dip will ‘kill the lice and not hurt the chickens. At any rate. treat them thoroughly with lice poder. Give the nest boxes a thorough scalding with hot soansuds In which 1s a handful?of salt to the pailful Strong smelling disinfectants and lovse hillers should not be used about the nest bores. as the odor Is absorbed by the cges, making them unfit for use. : Brooders and coops which are of no further use this season should be thoroughly cleaned, dlsinfected and alred before being put away. Water vessels und feed troughs should be sealded dally Alfalfa for Winter of 1913. For most feeding purposes, three tons of alfalfa hay are fully equal to four tone of any other hay. Ton for ton; alfalfa costs no more to produce than cloyer or timothy hay. If you want alfalfa hay fn your barn loft for feeding during the winter of 1913, now is the time to plan for it. We are talk Ing now to our readers in the corn belt proper. Will you grow it on land which at present is in smail grain? If so, you had best plan to stack the grain or In some way get the bundles off as soon as possible after harvest. Then go on with the disk and put a dust mulch over the entire field. The moisture saved in this way may mean the entire differ. ence between success and failure when the alfalfa is seeded in August. ‘Then when you get time, plow to a moderate depth, and then disk every week or ten days till alfalfa seeding time in August. This is the way to Kill weeds and save moisture. It fs the best way to prepare a seed bed for alfalfa in the corn belt. tana tn Geen Cutting hay off’ land for a series of years and then expecting to find It enriched is likely to lead to disap- pointment. Something will have been accomplished in getting rid of Ineect pests by the change of crop’ and the texture of the soil will have been improved by the organic matter from the roots and what nitrogen the clov: ers hare gathered, but where the clov- ers bare early run out even this will not be a great advantage, Grass lands need feeding, either with barnyard manure where hay is told off or when pastured, extra feed should be used for the stock if the full benefit of Iy- ing on grass ts to be secured.

Infant Dies at a City Hospital, and Mother Claims That She Was Not Notified of Its Demise— Undertaker Makes Discovery. St. Louis, Mo.—The mutilated body of their four-months-old son, Joseph, wrapped in a,rag with a dead Angora goat, was recovered the other day by Mr, and Mrs, Stanislaus Maggos, 2008 Cass avenue. The parents at the time were on thelr way to the grave in pot- ter's field, following the child’s death at the City hospital. Only the front of the skull, the arms and the chest of the Infant were contained In the box, in which they and the goat were to have been bur- fed together. The rest of the child's body had been cut away In an autopsy held in the morgue at the Clty hos- pital, ‘The lower part of the body had been kept at the hospital for anatoml- cal study. Crazed with horror and grief at the fate of her only child, the dis- tracted mother, Rosa, 30 years old, told the tale of her infant son's fate. Being in poor financlal circum- stances, and with a husband out of work, the woman has been forced, al- though paralyzed in her left arm and leg, to work for her living. Unable to take her four-mouths-old baby to work with her, the mother has been leaving It at the Niedring- haus Memorial Mission, where she paid a few cents a day to have it cared for while she was at work. She left the baby there the other morning, she says, and went to work. When she returned at five o'clock the matron {n charge told her the baby was sick and had been sent to the City hosptial about an hour before. Mrs. Maggos then walked to the City héspital to see her baby. she says. ‘There she was told she could see the Uttle one the next morning. The’ fol- lowing morning she went, saw the child for a few minutes, and then went to her work.’ 5 A€ 12:35 that afternoon the baby died, according to the City hospital records, The tracer was notified of the death and instructions given to notify the child's parents, at 2008 North Twentieth street. | Investiga- tion hows there fs no euch number, and the baby's parents were not notl- fied. “L called up the City hospital,” Mrs. Maggos said «through an interpreter, and was told the baby’s condition was the same. “I called again the next day, and was told Joseph had died the day be- fore af noon, and that I could have the body any time. “When the undertaker went to the City Hospital he was told the baby had been buried. He telephoned the Potter's Field, and was told the body was then on Its way to the grave. _ “The undertaker ordered the body Jheld, he says, and went out and got it. When he brought the box supposed to contain the child's remains, he found the parts previously named and the goat wrapped together.” GIRL IS TREED BY BEARS Minnesota Girt While Seeking ra Lost 4 Cow Has Thrilling En- eaunbin: { Kinney, Minn.—While hunting for Ja lost cow in the woods adjacent to her father's homestead, seven miles north of this town, Mary Melnnec, fifteen years old, encountered a black bear with two wellgrown cubs, She was almost upon the animals before she saw them. Screaming, the girl scrambled over falien logs and dead brush, the en- raged bears ‘coming after her. Coming to a small tree, she grasped the low- er boughs and drew herself up until out of immediate danger. The bear hung around the tree and made sev- oral attempts to climb it, but its efforts were failures, owing to the small girth of the trunk, which prevented the brute from getting a solid grip. The weather was very cold, and as the evening wore on it became almost !m- possible for the girl to retain her hold on the boughs through cramps in ber arms and the stiffness from cold. When darknesa came on the parents and elder brother became alarmed and started out with lanterns to find the girl, calling Joudly as they pro- ceeded through the woods. Miss Mc- Innes heard the calls and endeavored to answer them, but at first found it impossible to make even the slight- est sound because of the cold and nervousness. As the searchers drew nearer, however, she was heard call- ing faintly. The bears must have been frightened by the lantern Nght, as nothing was seen of them by the rescuing party. Miss McInnes collapsed when taken from her perilous position. She bad been in the tree six hours. Ducks Clear Hotel of Flies.

Member of Board of Managers of Great World's Fair Dragged Down to the Very Depths by Self-Destroy- ing Habit. Indianapolis, Ind.—In the rogues’ gallery. at police headquarters in this city, there Is a picture of Annie Mey- ers, allas “Coke Annie,” and after It 4s written the polico record of shop- Wtter and general thief. The same picture and the same record appears in the galleries at Chicago, St. Louts, Louisville, Detrolt and other places Where the woman has been arrested. This woman was once well connect- ed socially in Chicago, and was a mem- ber of the board of women managers of the world’s fair. In a well written story of her downfall the unfortunate woman presents a most powerful warn- ing against the use of cocaine. “In 1894," she says, “while attend- ing to some legal matters my lawyer, who noticed that I was suffering from a severe cold, advised me to trs a cer tain catatrh remedy which would give He relief, Me save mie a bottle ang that started me on my downfall course. “From a well-balanced Christian woman, I became a haggard and “wretched physical and mental wreck. My thoughts were only for more of that accursed polson—cocaine—that was dragging me down to destruction. From city to eity 1 wandered,‘and as I Ras using $10 worth of cocaine’ day 1 was forced to steal. Readers: of newspapers were greatly shocked to hear of my arrest In so many differ- ent places. As the first effects of the drug produce kleptomanta, I was con- stantly in trouble. “I had been driven to such a state ‘that T thought the world against me and I made up my mind to fight the ‘World, to steal, kill and play confi- ‘dence games. I associated with the worst’ class of forgers, counterteiters, confidence men and shoplifters. 1 would break the windows of a vacant house and get in to keep from freez- Ing, so that the money I would be ob- liged to pay for a night's lodging might be saved for cocaine. “I Invented what ts known as the ‘cocaine dance,’ and would go to evit resorts and dance and a collection would be taken up and giver to me. I would run without a hat té a drug store Immediately to get my Idol. I used to pet it and call it my baby and my only friend, cry over it, and laugh and dance like an insane person “I once went 25 miles from the city of Chicago to rob a house. 1 first had to Kill the dog, which I did by giving him rat potson, Then I got into the house, stole $1,000 and escaped. At another time, thinking that I did not have cocaine enough to last me until morning, and having no money, it al- 80 being too lite to go into the stores, 1 deliberately took a pair of shears and pried loose a tooth that was filled with gold I then extracted the tooth, smashed ft up, and taking the gold, went to the nearest pawnshop (the blood streaming down my face and drenching my clothes), where I sold tt for $0 cents and bought more cocaine.” FORSOOK THE HOE TO ROB Long Rows and the Hot Sun, Turnéd a Californian to “Easy Money.” “3 las Angeles, Cal.—Cornelius Haas- akker, twenty-three years old, aud a native of Holland, charged by the po- Mice with varlous crimes, was said the other day by officers to have told them he had become tired of hoeing pota- toes and had determined to become a bandit. According to the pdlice, Huasakker was employed until recently on a ranch. The heat and the long rows of potatoes he had to hoe started both perspiration and thowsht. When noon came and he realized he had earned only 7 cents, he made up bis mind, the officers sald he told them, to try crime as a means of getting rich more quickly. He changed hls clothes, armed himself and came to Los An- geles. He waited until after nightfall, so the officers said, and In less than two hours robbed three houses, one Chinese, held up two motor parties, attempted to hold up two others and had driven one Snoffensive éitizen off his,own porch. Haasakker obtained in his two hours, the police sald, one pair of op- era glasses, minus one lens, and an ‘apron, a red sweater, a pair of gloves and $660. He was arrested in the center of the business district later in the night after his deseription had been tele- phoned the police station by one of his alleged victims.
