The Savannah Tribune M. Rev. Abraham Lincoln DeMond, B. D., pastor, Plymouth Congregational Church, Charleston, S. C., who will peak at the First Congregational Church Sunday afternoon at 3:30. VOLUME XXVIII Rev. Abraham Lincoln DeMongational Church, Charleston, S. C. Congregational Church Sunday afternoon Mt. Zion Baptist Church Buys FIRST BRYAN BAPTIST CHURCH, WEST BROAD STREET, ACQUIRED. To Occupy Newly Purchased Church Tomorrow—Price Paid $9,500—Old Church Site Used For Theater. A deal was put through during the first part of this week whereby Mount Zion Baptist church, West Broad and Minis streets, acquired possession of the church at the northeast corner of West Broad and Waldburg lane, which was owned by the First Bryan Baptist church The transaction was of much importance to the congregation of Mt. Zion church as the structure in which they were worshipping was sold by them several weeks ago and the purchasers in turn disposed of it last week to parties who contemplate tearing it down shortly and erecting a theater for Negroes. The newly acquired property of Mt. Zion is in very good condition and very little renovation need be done on it. It was erected by the late Rev. Alexander Hurris and is in a very convenient locality for the members of Mt. Zion church. The new church is a wooden structure, without gallery, and has a seating capacity of about 300. The price paid by Mt. Zion for the new church is said to be $9.500. It has been stated that the First Bryan Baptist church contemplates building on the east side, as most of the members reside over there. This, together with the fact that the congregation is small and does not require such a large edifice to worship in, is given as the main reason why they sold out. It will be remembered that the congregation of Mt. Zion Baptist church has figured very prominently recently in an injunction suit brought on by certain members of the church restraining the church from selling the old building for $6,500, claiming that the price was too low. The injunction, however, was not approved by the court and the property was sold. This transaction caused quite a disruption among the members, several of whom were expelled. At a subsequent meeting of the church, however, most of those who were cast out of the flock were allowed to come back. Progressive Lodge Banquet. The tenth annual banquet of Progressive Lodge No. 97 K. of P. will take place at Duffy street hall on Monday night, November 25th. The annual sermon will be preached tomorrow night by hey. D. Wright at First Bryan Baptist Church. Name Used Without Authority. To the Editor of The Tribune: Sir—Please grant me space in your columns to make an explanation concerning the appearance of my name on the program of a celebration of a church on West Broad street, and my non-appearance. The first knowledge I had of being on the program was during the middle of last week when a parishoner kindly call my attention to the matter. I should be disposed to let it pass unnoticed were it not for the fact that it placed me in an embarrassing position; either that I was invited and was too narrow and bigoted to speak in the church, or having accepted the, invitation made light of it and failed to keep the appointment and that without a word of regret or explanation to those who are supposed to have invited me. The use of my name, therefore, without my knowledge or consent I regard as an unwarranted presumption. It is sometimes my privilege to to speak in churches outside of my own connection from Maine to Florida, and if I had been duly notified and circumstances permitted, I should have been glad to have made some "remarks." On the other hand those who know me best will bear me out in saying that "my word is as good as my bond" and that I never fail to keep an engagement unless prevented by providential causes. I feel free in saying that I enter more churches in Savannah than the average minister, as I usually take pains to be present at any functions worthy of note, and one of my earliest and pleasantest recollections in Savannah twenty-one years ago, was a visit to "Conference" in the old St. Philip's on New street, where the Educational Secretary, Dr. Johnson, kept the listeners' spell-bound with his ready wit and interesting accounts of the educational work of the church. I can't help but commend the people of St. Philip's for their daring courage in making such a venture to uplift humanity by means of the gospel. The Christian church like the business man must venture out into the deep in order to succeed. No church can accomplish aught for God or man that stands still. Like an army that seeks victory it must be on the move. The basement of the church seems to provide ample opportunity for the multiplied activities which the progressive church needs in order to battle with the hosts of sin and Satan, and I congratulate my fellow Christians in their zeal and enthusiasm and wish them God-speed. Faithfully yours, Richard Bright, Rector St. Stephen's Episcopal Church .P. S.—It is my honest opinion that the pastor of the church had nothing to do with it. R.B.

Professional Services Rendered Free SUBJECT OF HEATED CONTROVERSY MONDAY NIGHT Meeting In Interest Of Negro Business and Professional Men—Speakers All Advocated Patronizing Race—Crowd not Large If you were a Negro doctor and had spent upwards of a thousand dollars for your education in fitting yourself for your life's work, would you relish the idea of being compelled, through fear of invoking their disfavor if you refused, to attend ministers of the gospel free of charge simply on account of the influence which they may have, or if you were a minister, occupying lucrative pulpit, would you think it in keeping with good principle to expect physicians to render you their services gratis when the humblest communicant of your congregation must pay the nominal fee? This in substance was one of the questions which arose Monday night at a meeting in the interest of the Negro Business and Professional men, which was held at the First African Baptist church, Franklin Square. The question grew out of a remark dropped by one of the speakers who claimed in the course of his pastorate, which covered a period of about eighteen years, he was never charged for professional services until he came to this city a few years ago. The remark gave rise to much discussion which was very interesting and which would have been carried to greater length were it not for the lateness of the hour. The meeting in general was quite a boost to the Negro Business and Professional men, the speakers all urging the members of the race to stick together and patronize their own men. 'There was not a very large crowd present. This was due in main to the fact that there was a little misunderstanding as to the nature of meeting and the short length of time that it was advertised.' Chapel of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Harden and 26th Sts. Sunday, Nov. 24th, Holy Mass and Sermon at 10 a. m. Sunday school at 11 a. m. Father Thuet will officiate. Last Sunday evening a pretty ceremony took place in the chapel. Miss Carlotta Green made the solemn profession of Faith and was baptised. A large congregation filled the chapel. Father Dahlent officiated and gave an interesting lecture on the "Catholic Devotion of the dead." Appropriate hymns were rendered by the choir. Mr. and Mrs. A. Cannal acted as sponsors. The chapel was nicely decorated by Miss Davis. Congregational Convention Well Attended. DELEGATES PRESENT FROM SEVEN STATES Large Crowd Out Opening Night—Many Inspiring Addresses Heard -Last Night's Program In Charge of Young Folks. The General Convention of the Congregational Churches of Georgia, which is meeting in this city at the First Congregational church, convened in its opening sessions on Wednesday night with a large crowd present. The evening was given over to addresses of welcome, many of which were very inspiring. The annual sermon, which was preached by the Reverend Henry S. Barnwell of Thomasville, Ga., was creditably delivered and much appreciated by the audience. Owing to his detention in Atlanta on account of having to attend a funeral, Rev. H. H. Proctor, Moderator of the convention, did not arrive in the city until Thursday morning and the opening session was presided over by Rev. George W. Moore, of Nashville, Tenn., Superintendent of A. M. S. work in the south. There are fifty delegates in attendance at the convention, seven states being represented. The convention adjourns Sunday night. The closing sermon will be by Rev. Geo. W. Moore, Nashville, Tenn. The program of the Fourth Annual Session of the Congregational Sunday-school and Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor Convention of Georgia, which is being held in connection with the General Convention, on last night was very interesting. Regular services at 11 a.m., 3 p.m., and 8 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Claitlin University 0, Livingston College 0. Claflin University, Orangeburg, S.C., played Livingston, College, Salisbury, N.C., to a stand still on Friday before last. The game was very interesting, each team making a number of sensational plays. The teams were about evenly matched, Livingston outweighing Claflin about three pounds to the man. Evangelical Ministers' Union The Evangelical Ministers' Union met with Dr. R. H. Singleton presiding. Devotional service was conducted by Rev. J. S. Jenkins. After singing, the throne of grace was addressed, and the 41st Psalm was then read. Sermonic report was given by Rev. J. S. Jenkins, Rev. I. J. Yancy and M. H. Rutherford. Next Tuesday the Union invites the Baptist Union and the citizens who expect to take part in the Emancipation Celebration to be present. Visitors are always welcome.

Father Dahlem will accompany the party, which leaves on Saturday evening, St. Philip's Dots. Charles and West Broad Sls. Rev. Singleton filled the pulp at 11 a. m. on last Sunday and there was a large congregation out to hear him. His discourse was from Matt. 4:29. Subject, "My yoke is easy." Rev. D. A. Reid of the Second Baptist Church delivered an address to the Sunday school on Sunday afternoon. The adult class of the Sunday school had an interesting program at night, which was enjoyed by all. The first musical festival that has ever taken place in Sayannah closed on Monday night. While it was not as great a financial success as the officials of our church desired yet it was fairly good. The public attended well, but our members were not out as they should have been. We thank our many friends for their patronage. On tomorrow, Sunday night, four societies of the Tent of Rebecca will attend services in a body. At 11 a. m. Rev. Pela Penick, the African Missionary, will preach, and on Monday night will lecture. Our heating plant has been installed and the church is amply heated. Thanksgiving services will be held at 11 a. m. on next Thursday. Quite a number of ministers and their choirs attended the musical festival. We are under many obligations to business men of the city for their advertisements in our musical program; among them were many white business houses. The following services will be held on tomorrow (Sunday): prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m. preaching at 11 a. m.; Sunday school at 3 p. m.; A. C. E. League at 6 p. m.; preaching at 5:15 p. m. Strangers are invited. A Church Historian. Rev. A.L. DeMond, of Charleston, S.C., who is in the city attending the Congregational Convention, was formerly pastor of the Miday Congregational Church at Thebes, in Liberty County, Ga. He has since then pastored at New Orleans, La., Montgomery, Ala., Macon, Ga., and done mission work in the west. He resided several years in Iowa, where he was editor of the Buxton Gazette and also served as chaplain of the Iowa State Legislature. Rev. DeMond has for some time been making a study of the history of the Colored Congregational churches and will speak on that subject before the congregation. NUMBER 10 Rev. Precto At Civic League MEETING TO-MORROW PROMPTLY AT FIVE O'CLOCK Lurge Attendance Expected Several Musical Numbers On Program—Rev. R. H. Singleton To Preside On to-morrow afternoon at five o'clock the Negro Civic Improvement League will hold a public meeting at the Masonic Temple, Gwinnett street, west. To-morrow's meeting will be the third public meeting of the league since its organization during the latter part of last spring. The program is in charge of the Publicity committee and will be very enjoyable. The League has had as its speakers to deliver the main addresses at the two previous meetings gentlemen of the opposite race, being addressed at the meeting on the 27th of July by Rabbi Solomon, and on the 19th of last month by Judge John E. Schwarz of the Recorder's court. On to-morrow afternoon, however, the principal address will be given by the Reverend Doctor H.H. Proctor, pastor of the First Congregational church of Atlanta, Ga. The League could scarcely get a more distinguished speaker of the race to deliver its first address by a member of the race than Doctor Proctor, and it is very likely that a large and appreciative audience will be out. Dr. Proctor is a speaker of much prominence, being one of the best known Congregational ministers in the south. He is vitally interested in the civic improvement of of the Negroes of the state and his address to-morrow is being looked forward to with much anticipation- Aside from this feature of the program there will be two musical numbers rendered. Miss Nettie A. Houston will sing a soprano solo, and Mr. Julius Jenkins will render a bass solo. In the absence of Major R. R. Wright, president of the League, Rev. R. H. Singleton will preside. Rev. Proctor will speak on the subject. "Dirt." Atlanta Baptist College 45, Clark University 0. Atlanta Baptist College is continuing her slaughter of adversaries and on last Saturday in Atlanta, Clark University was defeated by her by a score of 45 to 0. The game was uninteresting. The heavy Baptist fowards simply tore holes through Clark's line and her backs never failed to gain the required distance. Clark made four trials at the foward pass, three of them being successful. St. Benedict's Church. Sunday, Nov. 24, Twenty sixth Sunday after Pentecost. Mass at 7, 8 and 10:30 a. m. Sunday school after the last Mass. Rosary, Sermon and Benediction of the most blessed Sacrament at 8 p.m. As the choir will be away on Sunday, there will be no High Mass.

GOOD: OPES Oe = ~ ee == Sires = ROAD MATERIAL IS TESTED Machines In Engineering Department of Kansas Agricultural College Give Good Service. ‘When you ride over a good road or @ paved street in your carriage or motor car do you ever wonder how long that road or pavement® will re- main in good shape? Doesn't it seem as if it would be a big waste of money if the road should prove to be of in. ferior material and would have to be replaced in a few years at an enor- mous expense? If you are a tax payer on a paved street you have undoubt- edly asked these questions. Fortunately, the men who build these streets and roads know just how long the material they tise will last. just how much wear it will stand and how long it will hold together. There is no guess work about such things when properly done, Several small, insignificant looking machines were recelved, & few days ago, by the engineering department of the Kansas Agricultural college. ‘These machines mean much to road builders and to tax payers. ‘They are mechanieal contrivances with which tests are made to show just how much pressure may safely be put upon rock to be used on a road, and they deter- }mine, also, approximately how long } tbe rock will Jast or, rather, how it will wear, | A sample of the rock is powdered /and the powder is tested to discover how well it will stick together—ce mentation. , Im the laboratory ef the department ig another machine winch tests sand for its building qualities. Not long #go a test was made of all the differ- ent brands of sand gold in the state. Different brands of cement are tested in much the same way. Other road materials are tested in this depart- ment, and then the engineer can tell easily what his road is going to be when it is finished. There is no guess work about road building as one might suppose. * Buying Stock Swine. Never buy an animal simply _be- cause he has a pedigree, and because he fs on sale at a low price. Pedi- gree does not constitute merit, for there are animals with pedigrees a foot long which would ruin any herd into which they were introduced. The next class—the farmer's pig—is that which is not good enough for the breeder of highlass stock; this ani- mal may be 4 bit coarse, and not up to standard, but he is a good growthy or a prolific sort, which the pork pro- ducer will be glad to have. The next kind includes the culls, runts and in- ferior specimens, which should be turned into butchér’s meat 1s soon as possible; under no circumstances whatever should they be used as breeders. Use Amole Coors. Shippers of live poultry should never ase coops which are too small to carry the poultry properly. Poul- try arriving in a cramped and wretch- ed condition will not command satis- facterv prices, and, furthermore, the comuiission man is apt to get himself into serious trouble with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ant- mals unless the stock is removed im- inediately into other coops, and these are not available at all times. Pickle Worm. The pickle worm has caused some trouble this fall ard much of the loss mikht' have been avoided by tho use of arsenate of lead. That is, had the cucumbers been sprayed with arsenate of ledd the larvae could not have entered the fruits. (This ma- terial is easily removed from tho cucumbers by washing, so that no danger attends its use when the cu- cumbers are thoroughly washed be- fore using. Grow Sollina Crops. When a sufficient number of stock is kept to consume the farm products to the® best advantage, it will nearly always pay to grow £ome crops that can ka uaed as needed as soiling erons . GQOD ROAD CONGRESS Meeting at Atlantic City Marks = Epoch in History. Most Important Feature Waa Attempt to Find Ways and Means to Stop Tremendous Drain on Rev- enues—Subjects Discussed. The first national road congreas held at Atlantic City, N. J.. October 1-5 marks an epoch in the history of good roads. Among the purposes of the road congress and one of tha most important of many was the attempt to find ways and -means of stopping this tremendous drain on road rev- enues; aleo.to consider the'best meth- ods of road management and of road construction and maintenance, and diss cuss the innumerable questions. that arise out_of these fundamental ones, writes J. W. Darfaw in-the New Eng land Homestead.+ = The first two days of the congress were road users' days, so called, and the program was under the direction of the American Automobile associa- tion. Among the subjects discussed was, “The Farmer and Good Roads,” by N. P. Hull, lecturer of the national grange, who contended that good roads would help solve the problem of keeping the boys on the farm, and Would reduce cost of products to con- sumers by giving farmers easier and quicker access to the markets. On -gutomobjle laws Charles T. Terry, ‘chafimah of the A. A. A. legislative board, objected to the motorist pay- ‘ing the cost of road bullding and de- clared that the double tax levied on autoists in all but two states was un- Just. National old trafls was discussed in a paper by Judge J. M. Lowe of St, Louls and by Mrs. Donald Mc- Lean, honorary president-general of the D. A, R., and the “see America first” idea, was presented by Preston Belvin of the Virginia State Automo- vile association, Dr. Joseph Hyde Eat of North Carolina and Dell M. Potter of Arizona, who is general “booster,” in other words the presi- dent of the Ocean to Ocean Highway ‘association, which proposes to con- struct a highway across the continent. | Among the other speakers up to the ‘time covered by the third day of the congress were Col. W. D. Sohier of Massachusetts, who advised uniform road making laws; H, W. Anderson of Richmond, Va. who discussed needed reforms in road legislation, and advocated a complete ‘system of federal. state, county and town roads; James H, MacDonald of Connecticut, who was introduced as the father of the good roads movement in Amer- ica; and Clarence A, Kenyon of In- @ianapolis, who described the Indiana system of good roads as unworthy the state, yet much had been accom- plished in spite of it The road machinery and material exhibits were most complete and in- structive and they added distinctly to, the success of the congress. The exhibit won praise on all hands. The government exhibit consisted of a se ries of models showing the develop- ment of road building from early Roman times. The state exhibits af- forded much Information relating to roads within their respective bound- aries, and a dozen or more states were represented In this manner. The road congress went on record as favoring federal ald for the purpose of buildings and maintaining good roads. - The president of the congress was alithorized to appoint a committee to confer with and interest the American Bar association in regard to formulat- Ing uniform laws relating to the building, maintenance and use of roads. Laws for the employment of prison labor in the improvement of the public highways were also recom- mended. The congress commended the proposition to construct an “old. trails ocean to ocean highway.” Eradicating Quack Gracs. Some experiments that haye been conducted during the past ‘two sea- sons by the lowa experiment station, show that quack grass can be com. pletely and effectually eradicated by sowing sorghum. Infested tracts were put in good tilth and broadcasted rather thickly Im the latter part of May with sorghum. This made euch a vigorous growth that it swamped and smothered the quack grass so that not a bit of It was eut for feed in the fall. The advant- age of this sorghum method is that there is no loss of crop, the process that knocks out the grass giving a valuable and nutritious ration for the farm animals. FLEES HOME OF WIFE ENGLISHMAN HAD TRIED TO DROWN SPOUSE YEARS AGO. Ex-Prisoner Suddenly Sees. Benefactor Is Really His Fathenin-Law, Af- ter He Had”Swindied Him—Po- ee Search for the Fugitive. Sydney, N..S. W.—Released from the city prison after serving a nine months sentence for a number of petty larceny offenses, Norman Graf- ton, an Englishman, about thirty years of age, applied to the Hon. L. R. Burns, a prominent solicitor and one of a number of people whom he had. mulcted on British magazine sub- scriptions, for ald to assist him in leaving the country. t Mr. Burns had not appeared against Grafton in the criminal proceedings and the fellow said he came to thank the solicitor for his consideration. He was a very smooth talker and at once won the friendship of Mr. Burns. On being questioned concerning his Ufe in England, Grafton told an‘appar~ ently straightforward story, 80 im- pressing Mr. Burns tbat the latter in- vited him to his home, with the intee- tion of having him dine, supplying him with good clothes and furnishing him, passage money tq the old country. But upon arriving at the rich and handsome Burns residence on Haver- ley lane, Grafton took a look at the premises and immediately began to make. excuses about entering, saying that ‘his clothes and general appear- Ants would not permit him, But as his would-be host urged, Grafton of- fered the excuse that he had forgotten uati! that moment thaf he kad pro- mised to meet a friend. Thereupon, very excited, he hurried ‘from the vicinity. , Mr, Burns belloved that-all was.not Yelit. and going into the house he re- latda_ Ate suspicions tor hir family, in- cluding a‘danghtér who-had married in Brgland, during ber<schbol days in ‘that country and whose hisband, 2 ‘Charterhouse student, attempted to drown her at a lake in Scotland, whither they had gove on their honey- moon. In the meantime the husband, whose name was Henry Grafton Studley, had secured possession of all her valuables, including about, $1,750 in cash which she had drawn from the Exeter bank. The fellow immediately fled : England and ¢iligent search by the English and Continental police failed to trace him. With her father's description of the stranger Mrs. Studley, who has long since resumed her maiden name and who has never quite recovered from her terrible experiences of a night at Lough Inver, told her suspicions, and Mr, Burns at once communicated with the authorit{es, with the result that today the police of all Australia are looking for the man. He Is believed to be not only the one who attempted to make away-with the young woman six years ago, but also the culprit, at that time unknown and unsuspected, who Induced the Hon. Lema Paresen, a daughter of Count Paresen of Denmark, to elope from the Exeter Girls school in 1905, and whose body was found floating - in Inver lake during the first days of the fall vacation. Concerning this tragedy but little was published in England at the time. Miss Burns until today had never shown a pictura of her renegade hus- band and the would-be murderer, but when her father saw the, photograph he was-unable to say whether or not it was the man who had appealed to him for aid, a full blond beard being worn by the ex- prisoner, while the photograph re- vealed a boyish looking student. Endeavoring to explain the fellow’s sudden change of mind when the homo was reached, Miss Burns says that at the time of her love affair in England she Had no pictures of’ her home or parents, but that just a few days previous to her flight a newly made photograph of the Sydney man- sion arrived in the’malls, and she re- calls that her husband studied it carefully. FINDS THUGS, BUT NOT KIN 2 ee David Willlams, Back to Old Home Af- ter Elghteen Years, Vain Seeker, ls Robbed. . Hazleton, Pa—Upon his return to Hazleton, the first time in eighteen years, to hunt his parents, who had believed him dead, David Williams, a middle-aged man coming from Omaha, was waylafd on one of the streets of the city and robbed of $45- in cash, together with some, valuables.

Jen- nings antedated President Bland, and the treasurer, Muleahy, and he could remember the time when the Hammer Press company was a small concern operating in a tiny shop oti Master- man street. Just as Jennings was the, oldest of the men, so Miss Mary Hewlett was the oldest of women employes. In a very few years people would begin to speak of her as an old maid. Miss Hewlett was past thirty—in fact, she was past thirty-five. She was the head of the card index system, and her desk was immediately opposite that of Old Jennings in the aisle down which President Bland walked pom- pously to his office three times a week: and sometimes four. Old Jennings had never been any- thing but a bookkeeper. He had been bookkeeper for Van Tuysen, the in- ventor of the famous press, in the first days of the company; he alone 6f the old employes had been retain- ed when, thirteen years previously, the little organization had been taken over by Bland. Yan Tuysen, had he known the real value of his invention, might have become a millionaire. But he was an easy-going, credulous sort of fellow. He had let himself be jockeyed out of his property—had sold it almost for 2 song and gone steadily downhill. He Sometimes haunted the company's offices, a disreputable wreck, 4asking for ald, especially after his recovery from a drinking spree. On the last occasion Bland had told him not to return. He never came back. But on Saturday evenings Jennings would visit him at his cheap lodging house on Fourteenth street, and there, seated upon the dingy bed, they would discuss old times together. Van Tuy- sen’s hatred of Bland was profound, his pride In his invention supreme It was grief at the loss of his factory that drove him déeper and deeper into the mire. The old’man’s days seem- ed numbered, and, conscious of it, and of his importance, he felt’ a resent- ment that drove him Into paroxsyms of tury. - On Sundays Old Jennings would call on Miss Mary Hewlett and they would take a quiet stroll In the park together. They had been engaged for a number of years. “But we can’t be married on sixty dollars a week,” said Old Jennings. And Miss Mary, who might, perhaps, have risked the ex- periment, would sigh a little and be silent. At the door of her- boarding house Old Jennings would kiss her good-by. . “Better times will come; they must, come, my dear,” he would say. And Miss Mary Hewlett would reecho the hope. Surely his salary would be raised the next Christmas. On the Saturday before Christmas Old Jennings was not at his post. Ev- erybody wondered, for he had never been known to miss a day duringSthe whole period of his service with the company. But that evening he was at Van Tuysen’s lodgings, as usual. The old fellow was in a bad way. “I guess I'm done for, John," mut- tered the old inventor, stretching out a bony hand in‘greeting. “And you'll be at’your old post years after I'm in ‘the ground.” 7 Old Jennings laughed shortly. “Not for me,” be said. “I'm out of it.” - “What's that?” erled Van Tuysen, raising himself and staring at the other incredulously. “I've Jost my job," sald Old Jen- nings prosaically enough. “Bland sent for me yesterday. ‘Jennings’ he sald, ‘I guess we'll have to let you gg. We're cutting down expenses anid ‘can't afford to keep you any longer.’ ) “Why,” shouted Van Tursen, “they've got money to burn. Thes’re as rich as—as—" He could hot find ® suitable simile. | “Why, it's this way,” sald Old Jen- nings philosophically. "You know the Hammer Press has the monopoly of the market everywhere for printing designs on the new doubleroll cer- tificate paper. And the shares have jumped from the original ten dollars to—let me see, eighty-four, fen't st? Well, Shafer and his crowd have been trying to get control of it. They've got all but the barest majority of the shares and they're leaping up in yalue every hour. Now Bland has all his fortune tied up in the concern, and | an hae. Salsa. ent tite Anak = comme. studied with astonishment, and then, not quite understanding, he looked at Van Tuysen inguiringly. “One hundred shares in tle Ham- mer Press company,” said Van Tuy- sen grimly. “They're worth about ten thousand dollars now, John. It’s all that was left to me—and I had the sense to hold on to it. And it's yours, Jobn, after I'm dead, After? No, now.” “But this {s a fortune!” exclaimed Old Jennings. “Why, it would—you can’t mean—" = “Do I mean you to sell them and retire, John? No, I don't,” said Van Tuysen. “Listen, John, and get your brains to working.” ‘ The two men sat up till two in the morning, one outside the Coverlet, one propped up within, figuring, comput- ing. E And Mary Hewlett missed John Jen- nings on the next day for the first Sunday in thirteen years. Strange to say, John Jennings was at his desk as usual on the Monday morning, and the men in the office, who had Iearned of his discharge, look- ed at him in surprise, and winked, and muttered that the old bookkeeper must be losing his wits. So thought Mulchay, the treasurer, when he caught sight of him. Um—did you you receive no com- munication from Mr. Bland yester- day?” he asked, stopping beside him as he passed to his seat. “Yes, sir,” replied Jennings respect- fully. “But I thought Mr. Bland might have changed his mind and might like to speak to me again.” Mulchay was afraid of ascene. He hated scenes; besides, he did not Imow but that John might have some scheme of vengeance In his mind, not disconnected with a knife or a revolver. “He walked away to warn Mr. Bland’s secretary. But Jen- nings anticipated him, for, entering at that moment, Bland, too, caught sight of Jennings afd stopped to ask him why he was there. And John's man- ner was so mild, so respectful, and 50 portentous, that he actually agreed to grant him a private interview. “Now, Jennings,” he began pom- pously, when they were alone togeth- er, “we can't do anything more for you. If it’s that—” “No, Mr. Bland, it’s this,” sald Old Jennings, and spread an engraved doc- ument upon the table. Mr. Bland look- ed atit and sprang up out of his chair. “It’s that missing hundred shares!” [he gasped. “Where did you get it, Jennings? It's a forgery.” “No, sir, it's the missing hundred shares. You said so, Mr. Bland,” re- turned Old Jennings quietly. f “Where did you get it?" “I've got it,” answered John. “If it isn't a forgery I'll buy it from you at fifty,” said President Bland eagerly. 7 “No, sir,” answered Jobn. “Sixty, then, Seventy. Ninety. A hundred. What do you want for it? They haven't reached a hundred yet,” |e yelled, losing his self-control en- tirely. 2 : “Mr. Shafer would give me two hun- dred,” sald John quietly. “Curse you for a thief! Will you take two, hundred at once?” “No, sir.” said Old Jennings. “Well, what do you want?” inquired Bland, sinking back in his chair and twitching nervously at the morocco padding, “Ll ted you,” Old Jennings an- swered, straightening his bent forni and looking the other between the eyes. “I might sell out to Shafer, and I guess that would make it nip and tuck between you both. But Shafer's just as big a rogue as you, and just as mean, and this time I'm playing for my own hand and for two others. I’m not going to sell. Those shares are worth just fifty dollars apiece, and I won't, take advantage of any cut- throat competition between Shafer and you to make money. + But youll do three things and sign an agreement now.” ’, “Name them, Mr. Jennings,” sald Bland; and he said the latter part of this expression for the first time in his life. “Well, sir,” said Old Jennings, re- suming his respectful mafiher, “you “know that I was associated with Mr. Van Tuysen in the first days of the ‘machine and I know a whole lot about it, So you will give me a ten years” contract as head of the foundry at— what does Mr. Rogers get?—Ah, yes, at five thousand a year.” “But what about Rogers?” ~ ae ¥, “Name them, Mr. Jennings,” sald ‘Bland; and he said the latter part of ‘this expression for the first time in ‘hie life. “Well, sir,” said Old Jennings, re- suming his respectful mafiher, “you “know that I was associated with Mr. Van Tuysen in the first days of the ‘machine and I know a whole lot about it, So you will give me a ten years” contract as head of the foundry at— what does Mr. Rogers get?—Ah, yes, at five thousand a year.” “But what about Rogers?" ~ “That's 0,” Jennings’ agreed. “Well, as assistant, then, at thirty-five hundred, with reversion if Mr. Rog- ers shall leave you.” He was always a soft fool, Old Jennings was. “Sec, ondly, you will appoint Mr. Van Tus- sen head.of the assembling room, at the same salary, for 1 know that Brown intends to leave you next. month. And he'll be on & ten-year contract too.” : “But the old Idiot's dead!" yelled Bland. “If'he wasn't he'd have been here borrowing money from me long ago.” “Oh dear no,” answered Old Jen- nings suavely. “I saw his doctor yes- terday and he told me that, with prop- er care and regular employment he's good for years. It's grief ‘that’s kill. ing him, Mr. Bland.” “Well, what's the third condition?” growled Bland savagely. “A month's leave of absence-on full salary for Miss Hewlett and myself, sir,” sald Old Jennings. “You see, sir, we are expecting to get married tomorrow. After that she's going to leave you.” And when Old Jennings waited ‘tor Mary Hewlett that night at the office door there was a look on his face which told her what sho wanted to know fully five seconds before he kiss. ed her. . (Capyright, wi, by W. G. Chapman.) + THE SCRAP BOOK ST, = af A 8 <> SSS _ The prince of Monaco presented re- cently to the Academy of Sciences in ‘Paris some notes about cephalopods captured by him at an average depth of about 13,000 feet. Cephalopods are octopuses, cuttlefish and squids. These deep sea creatures, he said, have such transparedt bodies that all their Interr nal arrangements can be seen distinct- ly, and even the course of the nerves through the head and tentacles may be traced, Several years ago the prince deseribed come cephalopods which chad searchlights fixed ‘po: their heads. He now describes a species With eyes of whigh the lower half is fuminous, so that ‘the eye serves both foF seeing and, for lighting. Any ant- mal that inhabits such depths as these do must have artificial light, for the sun’s rays cannot penetrate, and all is absolute darkness, So the eyes of these cephalopods are perfectly adapt- ed to their environment. . THE BLANKET TREE. Blankets grow on trees in’ Ecuador, and while the idea of an all-wool, fresh from the forest, “bed-covering might give insomnia and a backache fo the child of civilization who likes to snuggle comfortably under several layers of down and wool, the natives find it all right, as In fact, it is. When an Ecuador ‘Indian wants a blanket he hunts up a demajagua tree and cuts from it a five or six foot section of the peculiarly soft, thick bark. This 1s dampened and beaten until the flexibility of the sheet 1s much increased, Tho rough, gray ex- terlor is next peeled off, and the sheet dried in the sun. The result is 2 blanket, soft, ght, and fairly warm, of an attractive cream color. It may be rolled into a compact bundle with- cut hurt and with ordinary usage will last for several years—Herper's Weekly. FARM HAS TRAGIC HISTORY. A tragic history accompanies a Welsh farm near Swansea. The farm is known as “Talywanda.” A man tamed David Davies, a farmer, thirty years old, committed suicide there, a few days ago, by cutting his throat. ‘When found fn a field, the body was almost beyond recognition, » having been attacked by rats. No fewer than five inquests have been held’ by the coroner at the farm on bodies of members of the family, during the past few years, and all met singular deaths. The father was killed by being run over by a cart which he was drivingy the mother died sudden- ly; an elder brother was thrown off his horse and killed, and another brother hanged himself. A previous occupant of the farm, prior to the tenancy of the Davieses, also hanged himself. SMOKE COSTS MILLIONS. More than $500,000,000 a year is done in damage to merchandise, de- facement of buildings, tarnishing of metals, injury to human and plant life, Increased cost of housekeeping and losses to manufacturers due to Imper- fect combustion of coal. In other words, in abating the smoke nufsance in the large cities this amount of money will be saved, as well as in- creasing the comfort and conventence of the residents. An important step in this direction has been taken in Pittsburg, where the University of Pittsburg has undertaken to call the matter to the attention of those inter- ested in a series of papers published in the form of bulletins, FIRST SON NOT ALWAYS BEST. ‘The first born son is not necessarily the smartest, according to history. Among famous men of genius who came along late in their families are Joseph David, Napoleon, Dickens, Lin- coln, Washington, Cromwell, Tolstol, Daniel Webster, Franklin, Balzac, Ten. nygon, Chopin, Van Dyck and Rem- brandt. The oldest son in the family is not necessarily the best. Being the oldest, of course, he will put on the most airs and be a family leader be- cause of mere firstness, but the young- est boy may be the one whose name will become distinguished, or the one who will be the greatest comfort to his parents.—Gallipolis Tribune. UNIT OF MAGNETISM. ‘The electron, or unit of eloctricity, 1s now supposed to form a material part of the atoms of the various’ ele- ments, and Prof. Pierre Weiss has at- tempted to prove that a similar par- ticle, which he calls the “magneton,” is the unit of magnetism. In testing his theory he has made numerous ex- periments on magnetization at very low temperatures. He has found con- firmation of his view, and believes he has shown the presence of magneton in the atoms of iron, nickel, cobalt, copper, manganese and the metals of the rare earths. © ZEBRA REALLY BEAUTIFUL. - The zebra is, perhaps, of all quad- rupeds, the best made and most beau- tifully clad by the hand of ‘nature, To the figure and graces of the horses, It adds the elegance of the stag; and the black and white bands with which its body is ornamented are arranged with such wonderful symmetry that we might almost be disposed to imagine that rule and compass had been em- ployed In their formation. ‘These al- ternate bands are narrow, parullel and exactly separated. They extend not only over the body, but the head,, thigh and legs and even over the ears and tail. They follow 20 exactly the con- tour of.the different forms that they exhibit the entire figure in the- most advantageous point of view. In the female these bands are alternately black and white. In the male they are black and yellow, but always of a Ilve- ly and brilliant: tint. They also rest upon a ground of short, fine and cop!- ous hairs, whose luster considerably augments the general beauty of the colors. “TRAVELING” STONES. “Traveling” stones, from the size of a pea to six inches in diameter, are found in Nevada. When distributed on a floor or other level surface, with- in two or three feet of one another. they Immediately begin to travel to- ward a common center, and there le huddled like a clutch of eggs- in 2 nest. A single stono removed to a dis- tance of three and a half feet, upon being released, at once started with wonderful and somewhat cemfcal cel- erity to join its fellows. These queer stones are found In a region that is comparatively fevel and Uttle more.than bare rocks, Scattered over this barren region are little ba- sins, from a few feet to a rod or two in diameter, and it is in the bottom of these that the rolling‘stones are found. The cause for the strange conduct of these stones {s doubtless to be found in thé material of which they are composed, which appears to be loadstone, or magnetic fron ore. INGENIOUS COUNTING SCALE. In a motor accessories manufactory there has been installed a specially ‘constructed scale for use in-counting small parts. The upper scoop is the anit, and the other scoops balance, re- spectively at 25, 50 and 100 times the weight contained in the former. By counting out 10, 25 or 50 pieces to be counted, and placing thein in the up- per scoop, and then filling up one of the other scoops until the scalo bal- ances, the number of pieces in the lat- ter may be determined by multiplying the number in tke upper scoop by the number markéd on the larger scogp. That is, if there are say 50 pleces in the unit scoop, the number in the largest scoop, when the scale balances, would be 160 times 50, or 5,000 pieces; or in the next scoop, 2,500 pleces, and 50 on. PROLONGING HUMAN LIFE. The astounding apd gratifying fact ig claimed that in the Inst half cen- tury an average of 12 years has beer ndded to the period of human life. Since the first actual records were taken In New York city in the middle. ‘60’s the rate cf mortality has. been reduced from 35 deaths in each 1,000 inhabitants to about 15 or 16. This reduction has resulted from the con- trol of infectious diseases. The sav- ing thus made relates only to the period ef life under fifty years. There is no saving knowledge regarding tho organic diseases of advancing years, which affict especially those who bave- been activo4in affairs and who are- tuxed with large responsibilities. LIVED AFTER HANGING. f There are many curlous cases of re- suscitation after hanging, for Instance that of Mme. de Balsham, who, In 1264, having been condemned to death for harboring thieves, was left hanging on the gallows from nine o'clock Monday morning until sunrise Thursday, but revived on being taken down. Henry IMI. granted her a pardon. Another instance ‘of the kind oc- curred at Oxford in 1650, when Anna Green, a servant girl, hanged for child murder, revived when handed over to the doctors for dissection. Eager in- quirles were made of her as to her sensations after- suspension, but she remembered nothing, saying that her revival was like awakening fran a deep sleep—London Chronicle, KICKING HORSE PASS. Kicking Horse pass in the Rocky mountains, is named from the Kick- ing Horse or Wapta river, which trav- erses {t, ‘The pass was named from the following circumstances: Doctor Hector of the Pallister exploration of 1858 in attempting to catch his horse, ‘which had strayed off while some of his men were engaged in extricating another from the stream they were passing at tho time, received a kick which injured him serlously, His mea then gave the name “Kicking Horse” to the river, and the pass !s named therefrom. ¥ PRINCETON’S WONDER.

MAKE CHEAP LOANS German Co-Operative Credit System for Workers and Farmers. United States Ambassador Reports on System of Banks Which Serves the Artlsan, the Workman, and the Small Business Man. Washington.—The German artisan, as well as the German farmer, has provided himself with financial machinery to assist him in the conduct of his business. As with the farmer, cooperation is the basis of his banking scheme—cheap credit and quick credit is obtained for him by offering a collective guaranty. What he could not secure alone he finds readily obtainable when he combines his limited resources with those of his fellow-workmen. The system of banks which serves the artisan, the workman, and the small business man of the towns of Germany is known as the Schulze-Delitzsch system. As the membership of these banks includes a high percentage of agriculturists and their operations have an important bearing upon the question of financing the farmers. Ambassador Leishman has included this system in the investigation which he is making in connection with President Tatt's effort to establish co-operative credit in this country for the benefit of the American farmer. As the social structure of the town is more complex than that of the farming community, so the structure of the Schulze-Delitzsch or urban cooperative banks is more complex than that of the rural banks of the Raiffelsen type. Their membership includes men from many walks of life and of varying degrees of financial standing. It has been found necessary, therefore, to supply these banks with a larger foundation capital than is the case with the farmers' banks of the Raiffelsen type. The collective guaranty offered by the farmers is, indirectly, a land guaranty. The guaranty of town residents is not so well defined. Therefore, the members of the urban banks are required to subscribe a comparatively large amount for capital stock, and the banks operate upon this cash basis more in the manner of other banks than is the case with the Raffelsen banks, which operate almost entirely upon the guaranties given by the members and with only a practically nominal capital. Also the urban banks do more of a general banking business. Their larger cash capital makes this possible for them. They do not depend for their funds upon central co-operative banks, but receive loans from outside banks. They maintain and seek to pay dividends upon their capital stock. This dividend runs generally from 5 to 7 per cent, but a few of the Schulz-Delitzsch banks of Germany pay as high as 10 per cent, and a dividend of 25 per cent, is not unknown. The primary object of the urban banks is to furnish their members with cheap, quick money. They lend in two forms—loans on current account and loans for fixed periods. Loans on current account comprise something over 40 per cent, of the banks' business. Loans for fixed periods are made on pledge or by discounting bills of exchange. Also loans on mortgage form about 10 per cent. of their total loans. A small number of loans are granted without guaranty of any sort. Capital shares in the Schultze-Dellitzsch banks average a little over $90. The liability of a shareholder is generally limited. The rate of interest paid for their money by these banks averages about $3\frac{1}{4}$ per cent of the total working capital, while the gross profits average about $5\frac{1}{4}$ per cent, of the working capital. Deducting from this margin the cost of operating the banks and other expenses there is still left a net profit for distribution averaging about $8\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, of the share capital. A portion of this net profit is carried over as reserve and the remainder distributed as dividends. Surplus funds not needed by the banks in making loans to members are deposited with outside banks or are invested in first-class securities. The urban banks in three provinces in Germany have organized central banks, but for the most part the banks are able to obtain money satisfactorily from outside banks, and the three provincial central banks are not of much importance. The urban banks do, however, maintain current accounts with the Dresden Bank, a private bank, in order to facilitate the movement of their funds and to equalize their debits and credits. "MOVIES" RUINING SALOONS. Moving picture shows have practically ruined the saloon business of the national capital, according to investigations of the excise board. Although the new license year began November, only 175 applications have been made for renewal of retail licenses. Last year 513 retail liquor licenses were taken out and unless business picks up during the next few days the board anticipates only one third of the regular saloon business will be in force during the coming year. All young officers in the navy will hereafter serve at least one year on gunboat duty, according to a new plan of detailing announced at the navy department. The navy department regards gunboat duty as highly important, because the gunboat officers are thrown on their own resources to larger extent than on the battleships and more quickly learn self-reliance and confidence in their own abilities. In the future the period of duty for all gunboat officers, except the commander, will be one year. At the end of this period they will be ordered to the battleships and armored cruisers. With this new system a greater number of officers will have the advantage of gunboat training than is now the case. The officers will have, while on gunboat duty, larger individual responsibilities and range duties. It is expected the new plan of one year details will make gunboat duty more popular, as such assignments will not hereafter mean long separation from the fleet. A number of ensigns of the class of 1911 are now being detailed to the gunboats. This gives them a distinct advantage over their classmates not so detailed, as these ensigns immediately become watch and division officers with quarters in the wardroom. For this reason, only those who have proved special efficiency at sea in the last year are being chosen. At the end of the year they will return to the battleships. It is expected that the same policy, somewhat modified, will also be applied to the destroyers. In this service, however, young officers will be allowed to remain two years if they choose. GRADUATES SHUN MINISTRY. A remarkable decrease in the number of Protestant ministers graduated from the universities of the country is shown in a current report of the United States bureau of education. "It is plain," says the report, "that educated men no longer seek the cloth as they did when the nation was younger. It may mean much or little that the percentage of ministers among the graduates of typical colleges has declined from a proportion of 60 to 70 per cent, to less than 10 per cent. An examination of the figures collected at the close of the nineteenth century from 37 representative colleges discloses the fact that the ministry takes between five and six per cent, of the university graduates, which marks the lowest point for that profession during the two and one-half centuries of American college history. Between the years 1896 and 1900 only 863 divinity students were graduated from 37 representative colleges and universities, or 5.9 per cent. of the total number graduated, which was over 14,478. WON'T PAY WARDEN $2. The Atlanta prison cow, whose indiscretions caused a two hours' debate in congress several months ago, and changed the wording of a $450,000 appropriation bill, stirred Comptroller of the Treasury Tracewell the other day to write a long legal opinion as to her conduct. The cow wandered out of her pasture and ate up all the neighboring farmers' turnips. She was impounded and Warden Moyer paid two dollars out of his own pocket to get her free. He could not collect from the government because the auditors here disallowed the claim. Congress failed to remedy the situation, so that Moyer could get his money back, and the comptroller the other day added another chapter by handing down a decision that the expenditure was an illegal one that the government could not repay. The warden will make another appeal to congress for his two dollars. TEA ROOM IN U. S. TREASURY. Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh has officially recognized tea as one of the rights of women by authorizing the opening of a "tea room" in the treasury department, where 100 individual pots of tea keep up a merry song during the lunch hour. The new tea room is the only one under Uncle Sam's protection. Some time ago indiscriminate tea making throughout the building caused Secretary MacVeagh to issue an "antithea" rule. The women raised a protest and the special tea room was the result. To Oslerize Roosters Harry M Lamon, in charge of the poultry division of the bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture, recommends the Oserlization of all roosters after the spring hatch! He thinks that if his advice is followed, the cost of eggs and consequently the high cost of living, will be considerably reduced. Mr. Lamon has found, after many experiments, that infertile eggs are best for food, and will keep longer than fertile offs. By confining, killing or selling all male birds after the breeding season, Mr. Lamon says the farmers of this country will prevent an annual loss of $15,000,000 in eggs. The statement made by Mr. Lamon is cheering news to the poultry keepers of Washington, whose roosters are under ban of the health office. "Why do you wish to divorce her, because she doesn't cook like your mother used to?" "No. because she does." MRS. DAVID HUME GUEST OF SULTAN OF ZANZIBAR Mrs. David T. Hume, wife of Commissioner Hume of the Killanjaro district of British Africa, recently visited the harem of the sultan of Zanzibar. The young sultan, All bin Hamoud, has a splendid English education, being a graduate of Eton. 1 Mrs. Humé, in an article in the Chicago Sunday Tribune, after describing her re- ception at the palace, and the splendors of the sultan's home, has this to say regarding the harem proper: "The harem is in a building connected with the palace by a bridge. As we entered the long court he (the sultan) pointed to some rooms with the doors closed, or half open, and said these were unimportant, as they belonged to the lowest class of women, who are practically slaves. "In one of these rooms I noticed two Arab girls wearing masks in semimoslem fashion. They were squatted on the floor, just as do the higher types of monkeys. Their faces were protected by bright yellow masks that reached the mouth and were slit on the eyes showed through. Their dresses were even more ridiculous. The one had a large black and white shawl wound to protect the lower part of her body. Her chief upper covering was a long strand of shell heads. "We walked on some paces and entered a more spacious apartment. The first room was a large reception room. The floors were covered with splendid rugs from Persia and India, and about the room were scattered great quantities of ebony, ivory, and lacquer work. "The adjoining room was a bedroom crowded with furniture, including a handsome Turkish couch, costly silk draperies, and a handsome ebony dresser, piled high with toilet articles of solid gold. "On the couch was a slight, graceful Zanzibar malden. She was farer than most of the women in the harem, and when she smiled she showed a double row of handsome pearls. "Close by were the sultana's room, the favorite wife of the sultan. As we passed the sultan pointed out the suite and said that he was sorry he was not able to show me his favorite wife and her handsome rooms, but it was the rule of the harem that he was the only one, other than her slaves, who had the right to enter her apartments. "As we retraced our steps we passed a room with the doors wide open, and I saw a beautiful girl with rosy cheeks; reddish hair, and large blue eyes seated on a couch doing some beautiful English embroidery. "She had been brought to the place when she was not much more than a child, and was the daughter of a San Francisco carpenter, but he, could not find out from her or from anybody in the harem how she had been brought there. "As we left the harem I remarked to the young sultan: "You are fortunate to have 'so many wives." "It is all the way you regard these things," he replied. "If I had my way, I should choose an American or English girl for my wife, and love her and her alone." WEDS' THE MAN HER DAUGHTER REJECTED WEDS' THE MAN HER DAUGHTER REJECTED Mrs. George A. McLean of River side, Ill., is the bride of George Isham Randolph, son of Isham Randolph, the well-known civil engineer of Chicago. ```markdown ``` The couple were united in marriage at the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul in Chicago by Dean Walter T. Sumner and Rev. Oscar De Wolf Randolph of Lee Memorial Church, Lexington, Va. The wedding is the sequel of a romance begun when the groom was rejected by a daughter of his bride. Announcement of the engagement of Miss Dorothy McLean, daughter of the bride, to Mr. Randolph, the bridegroom, was made in August, 1909, and was later canceled. Harold Hellyer, next door neighbor and childhood sweetheart, had become a constant caller on Miss McLean and within a year she married Hellyer. The jilted man continued calling at the McLean home, and the fact that he is in the early thirties while Mrs. McLean is nearly forty-five, served to allay notice. The wedding came as a surprise. Another General Rule Gen. Sir John French of the British army talked to a reporter on the Lusitania about aviation. "Its mortality is dreadful," he said. "Such sacrifices, however, attend every human advance." With a grim smile he added: "On an aviation field an aeroplane inventor said one day to me complacently: "See the aeroplanes looking down on the plodding motor cars! That is the general rule now. Aeroplanes everywhere are looking down on motor cars." "Yes, and falling down on them, too," said I." REV. F. C. EISELEN DECIPHERS OLD LETTERS. Four thousand years ago in Babylon a young man wrote a love letter to his sweetheart. He wrote it on a chunk of damp clay with a stylus in cuneiform characters. Then he baked the missive and turned it into a brick, which has preserved the message to this day. The baked love letter was decliphered recently by the Rev. F. C. Eiselen, profes- He wrote it on a chunk of damp clay with a stylus in cuneiform characters. Then he baked the missive and turned it into a brick, which has preserved the message to this day. The baked love letter was decliphered recently by the Rev. F. C. Elsclen, professor of Old Testament interpretation, in an address upon "The Recovery of a Lost Civilization," at the commencement of the fall term of the Garrett Biblical Institute of Northwestern university. Evanston, Ill. In addition to this censure romance, Prof. Elselen read inscriptions on other bricks setting forth marriage contracts of Babylon and Nineveh; contracts relating to allmony; complaint from a lodger in a boarding house against the fare; a prescription for toothache; business and government records; and messages relating to the daily life of those ancient peoples whose capitals have been dust for centuries. These bricks were unearthed by savants of the German Oriental society (Deutscher Oriental Gesellschaft), who are now making extensive excavations on the sites of Nineveh, Babylon and Ashur, which antedate Nineveh as the capital of the Assyrian empire. The Northwestern university recently has obtained 60 of these bricks. Many of the bricks are inscribed with temple records. Others are engraved with messages to the kings, official records of government, and letters of the common people. The bricks vary in size. The largest are three inches long, two inches wide, and one-half inch thick. The smallest are not more than an inch long, half an inch wide, and one-fourth of an inch thick. The average is about an inch and a half long, an inch wide, and one-fourth inch thick. The temple records and the bricks which may be termed "official documents" are kiln baked. The love letter is likewise kiln baked. But most of the private letters are on sundried bricks. The bricks vary as greatly in value as in size. The temple records and the bricks setting forth official minutiae are valued at five dollars aplece. Others, especially those of historical significance, are valued at hundreds, and even thousands of dollars. The cuneal formings cover both sides of the bricks. SIR. THOMAS LIPTON PLAYS BEING NEWSBOY An amusing incident occurred not long ago at Boulogne on the return of Sir Thomas Lipton and Sir Thomas Dewar from a continental motor trip. Anxious to learn the latest news from England, Sir Thomas Dewar purchased a parcel of English papers, and handed them to Sir Thomas Lipton to take care of. On the arrival of the boat er A. B. press from Paris Sir Thomas Lipton, wearing his yachting cap, was standing at the head of the gangway. An American went up to him, and thinking Sir Thomas was a newspaper vender, said: "What papers have you got there? Have you got any New York papers?" Sir Thomas immediately realized the situation and said that he had no New York papers, but had some English papers, including the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Express, the Daily News, the Star, the Westminster Gazette and Reynold's. "Give me the Daily Telegraph," said the American. "How much is it?" Thinking to make a profit, Sir Thomas replied "Twopence." The purchaser took the paper and made his way to his cabin. Subsequently, on Sir Thomas Lipton informing Sir Thomas Dewar that he had made some money for him during his absence, the latter quickly told him that he was mistaken, that the paper had cost him threepence, and through the transaction he was a loser by a penny, or, as he put it in commercial language, 331-3 per cent. Geography of Blushing. The hunter, seated under a denuded tree upon a mound of red and yellow leaves, ate a luncheon of sandwiches in the mild sunshine of an October day. "Dogs blush." he said. "Look at Carlo. I'll frighten him, and you'll see him blush plainly. Dogs blush in the tail." He pretended that he was going to whip his hunting dog, and the animal showed the whites of its eyes in fright, while the skin of its white tail was, sure enough, suffused with blood. The tail blushed vividly. "Horses," continued the huntsman, "blush in the ears, especially in the left ear. Cows and sheep, blush just above the fetlock. Watch that spot on a cow. When she blushes there it's a sign she's nervous. Move the milk pall then, for she is likely to kick it over. "Cats and mice and lions and tigers blush at the roots of their antennae, or whiskers." MARK'S LOST SOCK Humorous Incident Not Creature of Writer's Brain. Declared In After Years That It Was a True Story of His Search in Dark for His Lost Article of Apparel. Readers of "A Tramp Abroad," who recall the incident of the finding of the lost sock in the vast hotel bedroom in Hellabronn may be interested to compare the story as thus told with what really happened. In his installment of the Mark Twain biography in the August Harper's, Albert Bigelow Palne quotes a letter from Mr. Clemens to his friend, Rev. J. H. Twickell, dated from Munich, in which we are given the earliest version of this incident. In the letter the account runs as follows: "Last night I awoke at three this morning, and after raging at myself for two interminable hours I gave it up. I rose, assumed a cat-like stealthiness, to keep from waking Livy, and proceeded to dress in the pitch dark. Slowly but surely I got on garment after garment—all down to one sock; I had one slipper on and the other in my hand. Well, on my hands and knees I crept softly around; pawing and feeling and scooping along the carpet and among chair legs for that missing sock. I kept that up, and still kept it up, and kept it up. At first I only said to myself, "Blame that sock," but that soon ceased to answer. "My expelives grew steadily stronger and stronger, and at last, when I found I was lost, I had to sit down on the floor and take hold of something to keep from lifting the roof off with the profane explosive that was trying to get out of me. I could see the dim hiru of the window, but, of course, it was in the wrong place and cc 'd give me no information as to where I was. But I had one comfort—I, had not waked; Livy; I believed I could find that sock in silence if the night lasted long enough. So I started again and softly pawed all over the place; and sure enough, at the end of half an hour I laid my hand on the missing article. I rose joyfully up and butted the wash-bowl and pitcher off the stand, and simply raised — so to speak. Livy screamed, then said: 'Who is it? What is the matter?' I said: 'There ain't anything the matter. I'm hunting for my sock.' She said: 'Are you hunting for it with a club?' "I went in the parlor and lit the lamp, and gradually the fury subsided and the ridiculous features of the thing began to suggest themselves. So I lay on a sofa with a notebook and pencil," and transferred the adventure to our big room in the hotel at Hellisbronn, and got it on a paper a good deal to my satisfaction."—Rehoboth "Sunday Herald." Dangerous Story. A Yale undergraduate had been having a fairly lively time of it during his summer vacation. He was invited out to dinner with his mother, and he was seen to get a bit nervous when she began one of her favorite stories. This concerned the burning of their home, on which occasion the son's watch, left on a bureau, was found ticking in the ruins after the house had been destroyed. At the conclusion of the story the college boy jumped up abruptly and left the room with his handkerchief over his face as if suddenly selzed with nose bleed. He did not return for several minutes, by which time the conversation had drifted. After dinner the "undergrad's" chum asked the significance of the move. "I'll tell you, but nobody else," said he. "When mother told that story I was afraid she was going to ask me to show the watch." His Idea of Sunday. Albert was a solemn-eyed, spiritual-looking child. "Nurse," he said one day, leaving his blocks and laying his hand gently on her knee, "nurse, is this God's day?" "No, dear," said the nurse, "this is not Sunday; it is Thursday." "I'm so sorry," he said, sadly, and went back to his blocks. The next day and the next, in his serious manner, he asked the same question and the nurse tearfully said to the cook: "That child is too good for this world." On Sunday the question was repeated, and the nurse, with a sob in her voice, said: "Yes, Lamble, this is God's day." "Then where is" the funny paper? he demanded. Embarrassing. A tramp knocked at the door of a lonely spinster's home. "Kind lady, arst yer 'usband if 'e aln't got a old pair o' trousers to give away." The spinster, not wishing to expose her solitude, replied: "Sorry, my good man, he—er—er—never wears such things."—Harper's Magazine. You'd Think So. "When she promised to be his wife he said he would do everything in his power to make her happy." "Well?" "He spends all of his time at the club!" "Well, if he is really a brute that ought to help some." SIMPLY WASTE TIME Mistakes That Mr. Wilkinson Will Not Repeat. Has Practically Given Up Idea That Telephone Girl Can Be Induced to Acknowledge That She Has Made Mistake. Mr. Wilkinson had just fallen into a sound sleep when at 11:45 his wife shook him, saying: "William, William! Hurry—get up. The telephone's ringing." "Let it ring." Mr. Wilkinson sleepily replied. "No, no! Hurry and answer it. It may be long distance. I'm so afraid mother may be worse—she might be dead! Please hurry! I'm so frightened I don't know what to do." Mr. Wilkinson reluctantly crawled out of bed and stumbled through the darkness to the electric switch. While he was turning on the light the telephone bell rang again. "Please hurry," Mrs. Wilkinson implored. "They may not wait." "I am hurrying," Wilkinson grumbled. "If they don't want to wait let 'em go to the dickens." At last he got down into the hall and took the receiver from the fork. "Well?" he asked, "what is it?" There was no immediate reply. "Hello!" he exclaimed. Still there was no response. Then he jiggled the arm, a few times and presently a sweet voice asked: "Number, please." "Number nothin'!" replied William Wilkinson. "Who's calling us?" "Number, please." "I say, who's calling us?" "Nobody is calling you." "This bell has been ringing." "Nobody is calling you." "Well, what do you mean by getting people out of bed at this time of night?" "Number, please, . . . "I say, what do you mean by ringing us up at this time of night if nobody wants us?" "Did you wish to call anybody?" "Didn't you ring this phone just now?" "Number, please." "Has anybody been trying to get us?" "Nobody is calling you." "The bell has been ringing for the past ten minutes." "Has it? The wires must be crossed." While he was lying awake during the next two hours William Wilkinson arrived at the philosophical conclusion that it was useless to try to get a telephone girl to acknowledge a mistake—Chicago Record-Herald. The Vandal. Senator Depew was depreciating at Saratoga certain contemplated changes in the Constitution. "To break up the venerable Constitution like that," he said with a smile, "smacks of vandallism, and recalls Tom Tunkin to my mind. "Tom, traveling in Italy with a friend, said one day in Naples: "Well, we've done Naples thoroughly—Aquarium and Arcade, Pompeii and Vesuvius. Let's get on to Florence." "Oh, the deuce with Florence," his friend growled. "There no cafe life there, nor nothin'." "Look here," said Tom Tunkin sternly, "a man tours Europe for something a little bit more elevating than cafe life. I'm going on to Florence if I go alone. I've got to get a chunk off of Michael Angelo's famous statue of David for my souvenir collection." Two Thrusts Congressman Henry was 'deprecating in Washington an international "marriage de convenance." "Two men were talking about this marriage cynically but truthfully," he said. "The first man remarked: 'Of course the earl won't be able to support Miss Lotta Golde in the style she's been accustomed to.' 'Oh,' said the other, 'her father will make allowances for that.'" Congressman Henry gave a grim laugh and resumed. "The first man looked thoughtful for a moment. Then he said: ' 'Despite the stories about the earl's past, it does seem to me that he's Miss Golde's devoted slave.' 'Oh, yes,' was the other man's reply, 'he's eager for the bonds, all right.'" "Child labor predisposes to tuberculosis. This does not apply exclusively to child labor in the factory. In many cases child labor in the home is as bad as in the factory, and the danger from tuberculosis is just as great." These are among the statements made in a paper before the recent Congress on Hygiene and Demography in Washington by Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf of New York. "Tuberculosis is a social disease in the final analysis. It cannot be eradicated until we have social justice."
