The Georgia Conference of the African Methodist" Episcopal church which met at Moultrie, Ga., with Bethel church, on the Ath inst., concluded its sessions on last Sunday night. This conference was one of the Jargest and most enthusiastic in the history of this church in the State of Georgia. The Rt, Rev. Joseph S. Flipper, D.D., LL.D. of Atlanta, presided and the work of the conference was curried through with the usual dispateli. On, Tuesday night prio: to the opening, addresses of welcome were made by the Mayor and one ef the leading citizens of Moul- trie. Responses were made by Bishop Flipper and Dr. R. IL. Singleton. On Wednesday the annual ser- mon was preached by Rey. Samp- son, of Waycross, Ga.

Aside from this addition a new conter- ence was created, knowu us the ‘Fourth Georgia Conference. I'he Grst session of this conference will be held at Thomasville in 1913. Considerable interest was mani- fested inthe reports bearing on education. It was learned thatthe money raised for this purpose was about $5,500.00, which compares very favorably with that reported a year ago. Of the individual church re- ports, the largest increase in dol- Jar money was reported by St. Philip Monumental church, this city, the increase being $40.00 over that of the previous year. ‘The conference admitted on trial a large number of young men, and received many others in full connection ordained to the ollice of deacon. Several were set apart for the office of elder. , The missionary Indies W. H. & F. M. Society of which Mrs. L. ‘A. Townsley of this city is presi- dent, reported the largest sun raised in the history of this depart- ment, the amount, being $854 91.

It receives noglory from its adherents; it imparts it to them —Masonic News. ‘The pure principles as taught and pincticed by our ancient and honorable order will greatly aid ir purifying, elevating and ennobling the lives of ullmen; but the young men coming into the Masonic fra- ternity will receive special bless- ing, for in them willbe instilled and deyeloped a veneration and love for the Deity and His sacred word, which will greatly strength- en their faith,yand guide them safely through life’s journey in the paths of righteousness. A FEEEWASON Should be an honest, virtuons, brave intelligent, Jenevolent,char- itable man—a lover of the arts and sciences--with a belief in God, a hope of immortality, a good citi- zen, x providing father, a true friend of enlightened progress; a lover of law and a preserver of or- der and a promoter of harmony, a protector of virture. ever willing to help the defenseless widow and orphan, snd should be temperate. controlling his passions and sith: duing all motdinate desires to con- form to the world, the flesh and the devil —with all thesesafecuards in mind he may live re-pected and dié regretted. With a good, true anc noble character as a monument of his moral worth and integrity that should distinguish every Free- mason and enable him to enter the sanctum sanctorum of our Divine Masteryclgthed in royal robes of righteousness, wielding the golden scepter of his love and mercy. and we: ring the jeweled crown of his mezny virtues—G. B. Wright. “Many a wanderer trom his fath- ers house has found a short.way to God by looking up. That is the only way that any man ever finds God. No matter who weare or where we yo, God is not far from any one, because he follows us on high and waits to be gra- cious to us. If we are trying to help somebody, he is also trying to help that one, and is following him and us. Cireumstances may be hostile, but they cannot decide the case. Temptations may abound, but God is near. Evil things may encompass us, but the blue is “al- ways over us—bright and pure and measureless. Enemies may entice us, but He that keepeth his own neither slumbers or sleeps.” Selected, . An American clergyman anda Mason, the Rey. Lorenzo Dow, was once traveling in Asia Minor, and was taken with « slow fever at Smyrna. When he had partially recovered his health, he found himself in rather indigent cireum- stances, and as he was walking out one day, the thought struck him, as strangers were passing by, that there might be some Masons in this far-off land. Somewhat weak and weary, he sat down by the sido of the road, and gave to sev- eral trayelers,as they passed by, the masonie sign of distress, which was not recognized by them. At Inst, seeing a well-dressed gentle- man approaching, he repeated the sign, to which the gentleman cheerfully responded by inquiring into his circumstances. The result was, that the newly found masonic brother sent a carriage for him, and conveyed him to his own beautiful palace, took care of him till he had fully recovered his health, paid his hotel bill previous- ly contracted. and sent him on his way rejoicing.—Keystone.

PORTER APPEARS Man Leaves House After Tear: ing Clothes From Victim. Mrs. KE, J- Cannon of No. 30° Price street, believes she owes her life to a Negro-Porter who tore her burning clothes from her back Wednesday when she rushed out the rear door of No, 220 Haber- sham street in an effort to ex: tinguish the flames which envel- oped her. ‘The Negro left thé house imme- aiately after his heroicact and his name was not learned. All that Mrs. Cannon knows of him is that he is an employe of the Joyce Market. His business at the house was the delivery of a package of meat to Mrs. J. J. Buckley, who lives at No, 220 Habersham. Visiting at the Buckley resi- dence wax Mrs. W. C. Farris of Allenhurst. She hits several small children with her and it was while Mrs, Cannon was talking to one of these, her back to an open fire place, that her clothes ignited. A cotton flannel garment proved good material for the flames,,and almost instantly she was ablaze from head to fert. NEGKO PORIPES HEA ERY Mrs. Buckley was at the front door pay ing the bill to the butch- ers porter 5 she heard the frant- ie screams” of Mrs, Cannen and rushed to ier assistance. When she reached her side, Mrs, Cannon was attempting to extinguish the flames with a picee of drapery. Showing presence mind, Mrs. Can- non had thrown her skirts oyer her head in a successful effort to keep the tire from her face. Mrs. Buckley secured a blanket and tried to assist in smothering the tire. This seemed impossible, for when smothered in one place, the tlames appeared at another. In despair Mrs. Cannon rushed out of the house and into the back- yard. “ # The Negro porter standing st the front door, saw her flight and acted quickly. He ran through the hall which leads straight through from the front to the ‘rear door and stopped Mrs. Cannon before she could get more than a few feet out of the house. Then he began tearing her smouldering clothes from her. BURNS ARE NOT SERIOUS. A pbysician.was summoned. It was found that Mrs. Cannon had been seriously burned on her hands and arms, her back and her Jegs. The front of her body was the only portion, xpparently, which wus not seared by the flames. The explanation for this fact is that the fire started on and was confined to the back of her dress. “I firmly ‘believe the Negro saved my life,” said Mrs, Cannon, “If he had not torn my clothes off my back I would surély have been burned to death. It was horrible enongh us it was.” The victim expressed a desire to reward her rescuer. She said he had left the house soon after aid- ing her, and that she felt sure he was burned. His only“request be- fore leaving was made of Mrs. Buckley, who gave him a bottle of turpentine to apply to his burned hands and arms. She also was slightly burned in the attempt to save Mrs. Cannon. The hero of the above article in the Savannah Morning News of last Thursday, is Samuel J. Gar- rett, a young Negro who resides at 550 Oglethorpe Ave. lane east, and who is a butcher in the employ of J. W. Joyce, East Broad and Wheaton streets. He received painful though not serfous burns on his left hand. = G. E. Club Banquet. On Thursday evenine of last Un Thursday evening of last week at the Harris street hall, the G. E. Club celebrated their twenty-lifth anniversary with a bangiiet. The affair was one of the most delightful in recent years. The hall was artiscally decorated with pink and white roses and ferns.

About one hundred and fifty guests were present, ‘The supper served was very elaborate. ‘The grand march, ome of- the unique features of the evening, was lead by Mr. Joseph J. Brown. pres- dent of the club, and’ Miss Alber. tenn Smith. Several: appropri ate talks were made in responst to the toastmaster’s call.

The subject of his lecture was “The Navy.” Within a few weeks the Navy Teague, which Colonel Thompson has done much to vitalize, will send Rear Admiral Richard Wainwright, retired; Commodore A. V. Wadhame, retired, and other distinguished officers of the service to lecture on the navy before chambers of commerce and universt- tles in the west and south. The or- ganization of the Navy league is be ing rapidly extended. ‘That plain talk from great sea com- mandera will drive home in the minds of citizens of the nation the sallent truths of the dependence of the coun. try upon {ts flect is fully realized by Colonel Thompson, Gen.

The war department, which ts looking after the feet of enlisted men with renewed vigilance, has just or- dered through the surgeon general's office 30,000 cans of foot powder to be ured in connection with adhesive plaster, both of which articles will be supplied on requisition of medical officers, The provisions of the general or- Yer, which provides for the proper protection of the feet of enlisted men, has attracted wide attention’ in the milltary service. Commanding off- cers have been discussing the extent to which they must personally ft the shoes to the fect of their men, The “foot powder” order Is regard- ed as acutely scientific and ts said to be in extension of the work per- formed by the board of army officers following practical experiments with, the styles of shoes best adapted to army wear.

Paths of crookedness are the most often trodden, because the task seems easier, and greater benefits to be de- rived from {ts acceptance. The acts may be the result of human frailties; Dut they often arise from-a studied effort on the part of many to evade the obligations which should rectify conduct and control Individual lives. Some of the greatest evils, by wnich society {s afflicted, spring up from the source of base chicanery nursing its beginning in sordid hearts. In bust- ness as,well a professional careers, It 18 thé,duty of every one to protect his reputation; but, in order to accom- plish it, he must, necessarily, be particular as to the choice of individ- uals with whom he has to deal. Very often, confidence, Implicity placed, is fearfully abused; and he, by whom it {a given, suffers for his folly through the injury he receives. At all times, fn all place and In every walk of life, there are schemers of every ilk, whose {nclinations prompt to the commis- sion of unholy deeds; nor are they ashamed to face thelr nelghbors and pose in the garb of honesty. Some ot the draw-backs which hamper use- fulness and warp efforts in attempts at progress, arise from perverted Jus- tice, which finds itself powerless of exertion where unrighteous force pre- yails. Hollow professionalism, void of the mantle of sincerity, greatly damages our material welfare, places the stamp of infamy upon all whom ft touches and tramples upon the Diessings ‘which, otherwise utilized, would, create a great reward. Life, character and reputation are often dependent upon the manner in which we Improve our opportunities, whether it serves us well or Ill. Path-ways of life lead through grave entangle- ments and are replete with errors: yet, they sometimes prove beneficial to those who are caught therein, if they serve as correctives to future aims. In search of necessities for sustenance. our wants multiply in a rptio greater than our needs; and covetousness steps In to take posses- sion whenever chance presents. Even in, the advanced stage of civilization, there lingers a tinge of savagery, which that man, unchecked by the hand of authority, would revert to bis ‘primitive Justice, and trust hig fortune to the survival of the fittest. Preten- sions, wielding deceptive influences, mislead the unwary; and, sometimes, wisdom itself fs misted by the glare. Falsohood fs often mistaken for truth: and demons don the garb of angels when they study to deceive. These are channels through which many struggle for renown; but distinction, thus ob- tained, 1s a lasting curse. It is sel- fighnese but selfdentat that prompts the activity of noble men in behalf of their fellows; for true greatness is accorded In proportion to the good performed in the interest of humanity. Get while you can, is the motto of greed, no matter whom it destroys; Judgment as well as common sense fs questioned when the immoderate lust for gain is permitted to usurp the position of honest deal. These are Teasons which should be considered by the negro race particularly; because at the very outset of its career, short- comings of any description are more injurious to its prestige than to that of the opposite race whose advantages “are greater. Let the Negro deal as he would be dealt with; apply to selt the Golden Rule as he would do to others, and tho steeps which now con- front him would be easier to scale. ‘There was a “run on the Mechan- fe’'s Saving bank of Richmond, Va, recently, but instead of going into the air, President John Mitchell, Jr., went down to friendly white banks and got a cartload of money and piled ft upon Wis cashier's counter, with order to pay every depositor that demanded his money. ‘The “run” did not get far after the depositors were con- vinced that thelr money was safe fn the bank. The officers of two white banks stood near Mr. Mitchell and the cartload of money as the deposi- tors Ined up to the window. The “run” was started by a man who wanted a check cashed after bank hours; the “run was stopped by the president of the bank who was ready to pay dollar for dollar on demand. We congratulate, Mr. Mitchell. When negro bankers and business men gen- Procrastination sometimes saves a man from making a fool of himself. There are five cities In the United States with a negro population exceed- ing 85,000, and only one of these Is within the domain of the old Confed- erate States. Evidently the race prob- Tem must be decided as a national, not a sectional question. As long as New York and Washington remain the negro centers of the north and south all parts of the country are in- terested in the destiny of the body of citizens whose condition almost split the United States into two govern. ments 50 years ago. ISR aaa ts RI SR Ss PEER MMR at the American negro, engaged in farm- Ing, merchandising, real estate, manu- facturing, lumbering, Insurance, print- ing and publishing, engineering and banking, contributed over $700,000,000 to the wealth of the nation. It has been apply sald that “the rack cre ates adnfirably; it gets left in the dis- tribution.” The problem of the ne- gro in business fs this: How tomake the raw material produced by him not the end of his effort, but the basis of his individual activity. Through per- sistence, Initiative and cooperation, thousands of negro’men and women* in all parts of the United States have developed small business ventures Into substantial business enterprises. ‘They have saved and) invested money carefully ;they have put into their everyday business life the wise sug- gestion given them by Dr. Washing- ton and other men who are vitally in- terested in the race’s welfare. Today the outlook for the negro in business 4s not only bright, but actually inspir- ing. Negro men and women are quietly getting a firm hold on the es- sentials of success in business—tho buying of homes, the extension of business, the opening of factories, the establishment of banks and the bet- ter appreciation of commercial pur- suits. Dr. Washington has emphasized the importance of the 10,000,090 ne- groes In America becoming the own- ers and users o {their share of the 270,000,000 acres of unused and unoc- cupied land in the south and west. He declares that if white men can estab- Msh and operate saw mills, coal mines, brick yards, lime kilns, and other en- terprises so as to secure wealth and happiness, he can see no reason why the negro should not engage in similar work and reap some of the benefits which come to those who own, devel- op. manufacture, and trade in the nat- ural resources of the cduntry. He declares that in at least 23 places in the south and west negroes may butld towns and citles similar to Mound Bayou in Mississippi and Boley in Ok- lahoma. To carry on this construc- tive work negro men and women from the colleges and universities are need- ed. To increase the business strength and influence of negroes, men must organize, locally, in the state, and in the nation. By ihe side of the teach- er and‘ the minister, there must stand in helpful relation the Independent farmer, the real estate owner, the manufacturer, the merchant and the banker. ‘There are places in the south today, according to Dr. Washington, for 5,000 additional negro dry goods stores, 8,000 grocery stores, 3,500 drug stores, 2,000 shoe stores, 1,550 mil- linery stores, and :2,000 negro banks. “Development and activity in all these lines,” according to Dr. Washington, “does not mean that we are to be commercialized as a race—to be mere- ly breadwinners, hewers of wood. and drawers of water. It means that” we shall be producers of bread. own- ers of bread, manufacturers of bread, dealers in bread, and that we shall gather wealth from the bread busi- ness. which can be turned jnto the highest and best things of ae We are to be owners and userg.o? wood In a way that will bring to us happiness, usefulnes agd Prosperity.” There are so many people willing to do things, but few actually. set to work. . = ‘The man who gets lonesome must have mighty little imagination. ‘The gamblers of New York appear to be convinced that dead men tell no tales on them or other police alles to the district attorney, so the sup- posed tattlers are murdered at the psychological moment, as Rosenthat was.

Ermine-Trimmed Toques a Present Fancy—Heavy and Filmy Materials Used in Combination—Handsome Fur Sets. NEW YORK.—Never in the history of fashion have the small fur trimmed neck muff and hat sets been so variegated and so bwitching as they are this season. The materials in vogue lend themselves delightfully to such purposes and furs are to be had of so many kinds and at such a wide range of prices that the fur trimmed set seems to be with in almost any clever woman's reach, though the smart little imported sets showing decidedly clever and original features are priced so high that they are but little less expensive, if at all, than handsome all fur neck and muff sets. At the same price, the latter are of course the more practical investment. They are sure of at least a few seasons modishness, while the combination sets, owing their vogue to the whim of fashion, rather than to intrinsic value, are likely to lose their smartness with the passing season; but if a woman can make up a pretty and effective set herself—and a surprising number of women can do that sort of thing—or can have one made by some little furrier or milliner under her own careful directions, then the combination set is altogether desirable and will give cachet to a simple costume. Among the conventional neck and muff furs the fox sets hold their popularity. They are not of necessity extravagantly high priced, though if one wants to spend money one can dispose of a very large sum in the buying of silver fox. Even the cheaper varieties of fox when imported in fancy and beautiful sets bring high prices; but one can buy it very good looking muff and neckpiece of pointed fox or white fox or dyed brown fox or even good cross fox for a price by no means extravagant, as prices of good furs go and black fox is distinctly reasonable. Fox Fur With Velvet. For the younger contingent there is nothing in the line of furs more suitable and more practical than fox and with the conipresent velvet and velveteen frocks and suits of this winter white fox will be enormously worn. Ermine is smart for the youthful wearer and effective with velvet; but it is hardly so becoming or youthful as the fox, and when real, is more expensive. "When real," one says; and the reservation is necessary, for an unbelievable number of rabbits and cats and other humble beasties perish nowadays in order that ermine may be worn. Some of the imitations are not bad, are, in fact, quite effective and pretty enough to use for little touches of trimming; but one must be sure to pay the price of imitation; and unfortunately one does not always find honesty in this regard. The reputable furriers are reliable in matters of this kind, but importing milliners, dressmakers, etc. are not invariably so, and only within the last week a woman who purchased a velvet and ermine set from a certain Fifth avenue shop noted for chic models and paid the price of real ermine was told by a furrier to whom she happened to go wearing the set that her ermine was only an imitation. And the moral of that is to recognize your cat or rabbit; but, as has been said, a great deal of the imitation fur is attractive. One of the most pleasing details of the fur fad this fall is the clever use of fur in millinery and the pliant harmonizing of hat and muff or of hat, neckpiece and muff. The idea, to be sure, is now new. There have been fur hats and fur trimmed hats before; but not within the memory of this generation has the thing been so well done or done with such infinite variety. All Materials Utilized. No material is to filmy or too rich to be combined with fur, and the millers, going upon that theory, have produced sets for morning, afternoon and evening; for sports and for smart social functions, for the woman who does not care what she pays and for the woman who, like Mrs. Boffin of blessed memory, is "a high filter after fashion" but has little money to spend on dress. Among the girlish sets adapted for winter sport, but quite as suitable for street wear is a handsome white fox set whose muff and neckpiece are conventional enough but whose hat takes the piquant form of a little pointed crown cap of black plush trimmed round the face with a band of the white fox. Simple? Of course, but eminently girlish and becoming. There are many of the close caplike fur hats for girls and for women, some of the prettiest draped a little and trimmed only with a single cluster or blossom of dull gold or silver or color; and there are still more of the small draped toques and hats made of velvet or plush or silk and fur trimmed. And then there are the small hats of two furs in combination. It seems useless to attempt description, so varied and so numerous are the models, but citing a few may give some idea of the general tendency. Among the close small toques, for example, there was in one well known and exclusive millinery establishment a low, bowl crowned shape of ermine. the pure whiteermine which has almost pushed the white and blackermine out of sight. The closely rolled brim of this hat was of mole and the trimming was in the form of two osprey feathers crossing each other and posed at the two sides near the back of the hat. Next to this model was another which was all ofermine, a little higher than the last, though still closer and draped just a trifle. A single line of large brilliants ran around the crown, half hidden in the fur, and the trimming was a single ostrich feather at the back. A charming evening hat, this. Mole and Ermine. Mole and ermine are much used together by the milliners, but one sees less black and white fur in the new millinery than one did last year. Hats with draped crowns of rich moire, corded silk, velvet or brocade and with brims of fur are popular, and many of them are exceedingly likable. The Rembrandt tam is easily and successfully developed in this combination, and there are countless other shapes, small and large, that are as adaptable. The big hat whose crown is entirely of fur while the brim is of chiffon or lace fur trimmed is considered exceedingly chile and is often very lovely. Sometimes the crown of the big hat is of white and silver brocade or of brocade in some darker coloring, and the wide brim is of chiffon, its flat layers edged with narrow lines of fur, and often the whole large shape is of velvet or satin or brocade and the fur is used merely in a scarf or hand around the crown or perhaps in a scarf and as a border to the brim. Whole muffs and draped hats of stunning brocade, with very slight trimming of fur, are among the imported sets, and some of them are very good looking, though others are rather conspicuous for anything save evening wear. Velvet and plush are used in the same way, and any one who has even a few scraps of good old fur can easily find use for them in these sets. Long Scarfs Much Admired. The very wide long scarfs of fur in which the whole body may be swathed have their counterparts in similar scarfs of chiffon, lace, silk, etc., fur trimmed, with big hats en suite, and some of these sets are wonderfully lovely, though not every woman can wear such a scarf gracefully. A set FASHION that attracted much attention in one shop, though, as one woman put it. "It would be dirty in a moment and it is a sort of imitation which I despise and yet it is pretty," consisted of a hat, muff and enormous scarf of white plush, the very handsome silk deep pile plush which, as every woman who has priced it knows, is not exactly cheap. The trimming was of ermine or of imitation ermine tails—who shall say which?—set on the plush scarf and muff to make deep bordering bands and holding the drapery of the toque. An evening set in better taste, though the plush set did have a certain charm, was made of white satin embossed in velvet in a floral pattern of many soft rich hues. The big draped muff was shirred into a narrow band of white fox at one side and drooped lower at the other side to disappear under a whole white fox pelt. The neckpiece was a capellike shoulder drapery of the brocade on one side bordered narrowly with fox to be held by a whole fox skin that went over the right shoulder, the head being brought around to meet the brocade drapery in front and the tail hanging straight from the shoulder in the back. New Brocaded Coat. The coat illustrated is in brocaded velvet on silk, with satin under-dress and skunk fur trimming. It is an up-to-date visiting gown design. The hat is of white velours faced with black velvet, and trimmed with a fancy plume. GERMSVERSUSLOVE Antiseptic Engagement That Caused the Loss of Delicate Little Mustache. BY GUY ARTHUR JAMIESON. Florilla and I had in reality been engaged over a year—since an idyllic summer at Lake Mohonk, where we had come to the supreme understanding intuitively and inevitably rather than by any conscious intent. Technically, we had been engaged two months. Ours had been an ideal friendship and gave promise of an ideal marriage. We fitted into each other like the halves of a perfect whole. It seemed that the gods had planned it all and we were but willing, foolishly happy puppets in their hands. The blending of our love and personalities was beautiful to see. Then came the serpent in our Garden of Eden, with the usual serpent results. It happened on this wise. When I called one evening Florilla did not kiss me as was her custom.. I offered myself as usual, but she purposely or absent-mindedly ignored me. I felt extremely awkward. It fashed through my mind that her love for me had begun to grow, cold. It filled me with uneasiness and at the same time fanned my passion into a flame. I caught her in my arms impulsively and kissed her. Kissed her on the snaky coils of her hair, for to my dismay when she fathomed my intention she ducked her face and I must perforce expel the exuberance of my affection upon her hair—or was it her hair? She struggled from my embrace, holding her hands out defensively. "Don't, Harold, don't. You mustn't kiss me." "Florilla, what has come over you?" I asked, following her up. "Please sit down, Harold, and let me explain," she said determinedly. "I've been reading—" "Reading? What has that to do with your refusing to kiss me?" "Don't interrupt me, Harold. I've been reading that wonderful book, The Insidious Pervasiveness of Germs," by Professor Helmbalts von Baldoni. He says people little suspect the danger that threatens them every minute of their lives; that there are millions of deadly germs hovering on us waiting a favorable opportunity to assault us, strike us down. They are in the air, on the furniture and brica-brac, on our clothing and bodies. He says larvae are more to be feared than lions. You shouldn't have kissed my hair, Harold. You were taking an awful—" "Florilla, what nonsense. Von Baldoni is crazy—" "It's terrible to think of, Harold." Florlora went on ignoringly; "but he said where there was a—a mustache or beard—it gave me the creeps when I read that, and we'd always been so reckless. And you have such a little dear of a mustache. But think, dear, what might have happened." That's the reason, dear Harold, I didn't kiss you," she said nalvely, her eyes avoiding mine. "So your fear of Baldoni germs outweigh your love for me," I said coldly. "Harold, don't be unreasonable. I love you just the same, only I couldn't think of endangering—we—can love each other just as devotedly—" "And cut out unsanitary osculation," I interrupted, ironically. "You are quite correct. I couldn't think for a moment of inoculating you with any of the fifty-seven varieties of insidious germs, Professor Baldon't writes of illuminatingly. So ours will be a kissless engagement. We will love strictly along sanitary and scientific lines. Is there anything else Professor Von Bald advises lovers to cut out? Where we are at it, we had better settle off some definite program so as to avoid the chance of embarrassing each other—" "Now, don't be silly, Harold. There's nothing we need to cut out—if you'd cut your mustache, really would you dislike it very much, Harold?" "And you'll stand for the consequences?" "Yes." "I warn you, Florilla, it will make a difference in my appearance. You've never seen me shaven." "How foolish. Do you think I fell in love with your mustache? It's such a delicate little mustache, too, Harold." "You were kind enough once," I said reproachfully, "to say it was handsome. That it gave me a distinct air." "So I did. It does. But I may admire you even more with it off, if that were possible, and—and I'd feel so much safer." "Then off she, he or it goes," I said with heroic finality. "Never again will you see me adorned with a hirsute, delicate or otherwise, if it brings the shadow of a shade between us." I rose and bent over her, selzing her arm. "Kiss me, Florilla," I said persuasively; "just as a kind of farewell to—the old order of things." "I'd love to, Harold, but I will not just from principle and—because you've been so sarcastic." "Oh, I beg your pardon—I—" "Good night, Harold," she said, holding out my hat. "I took it, and blowing her a kiss, slipped out into the night. I called on Florilla the following Monday evening. That afternoon I had heroically sacrificed the pride of my young manhood to the all powerful Baldoni germs. The transformation was startling. I really felt as if I needed an introduction to myself. I felt embarrassed in resuming the old . intimate relations. It seemed as if I wero taking unwarranted liberties with a stranger. I was fearful of the effect upon Florilla. When I rang the door bell half an hour earlier than usual, for I wished to get the introduction over as soon as possible—she came rushing out to greet me. I opened my arms. Then—then she stopped. A look of fear came into her eyes, and throwing up her hands defensively, she screamed, actually screamed into my face. "My dear Florilla," I said with all the tender repoach I could command in my humiliation, "do I look so terrible as that?" She sank to a chair, her face hid in her arms. I stood awkwardly staring down at her. I felt very miserable, also indignant. "Very well, Florilla," I said after a little: "I will go." "Oh, Harold," she wailed dismally, "is it really you?" "It is—or was." I said hopelessly. "I never dreamed it would—would—you look so—only—" "And you are not going to kiss me, Florilla, after all—all the sacrifice of—" She peeled cut. Then quickly hid her face again. "Oh, Harold, really, I can't. It would be just like kissing a stranger." "But you might close your eyes." "Harold please don't be funny. It's—it's no time to joke." "Dear Florilla," I insisted, "I am not trying to be funny, but I do feel like a joke—a horrible joke. I think I had better go." I stepped toward the door. "Don't Harold," she cried, not looking up. "Don't go till we've settled on something." "I thought I had settled on something. I was to shave my mustache. I have. I've fulfilled to the letter my part of the compact. You were to kiss me, just as of old—before—before Baldoni and his germs came into our lives." Florilla was silent for a space. "I think, Harold," she said soberly, presently, "we have made a mistake." I did not reak. "I could never love you without the mustache," she went on earnestly. "It really makes you quite a different person." "Florilla," I said accusingly, "do you know it takes several months to grow a mustache? What is to become of us in the meantime—and you won't even look at me?" "It's horrid of me—I—I just hate myself—" "Now, please, Florilla," I said sympathetically, "don't incriminate yourself in that way. I love you just the same. Cutting off my mustache hasn't changed you in the least—if you only wouldn't hide your face. It isn't pleasant, I must confess, talking to the top of your head, but nevertheless—" "Harold, do be serious—what—what do you think we had better do?" she said in distress. "Well, you might get up a little courage and face the music—I mean face your lover. I might improve on acquaintance—" "No, Harold, I don't want to—to get acquainted and—you like that." "Thank you, Florilla." "But—but I'm not blaming you—" "How kind of you, Florilla—and generous." "If you only wouldn't be so—so sarcastic." "I tell you, Florilla, a way out of the difficulty," I said, a bright idea flashing upon me; "I could get a detachable mustache. I could have it made at the hair store where you purchase your marcels. I could wear it while we conversed. Then when you kindly condescended to favor me with a kiss I could-deftly remove it. In the meantime you could close your eyes—" "Hurry, please don't be silly." "Very well, then. I shall have to banish myself until nature again performs a miracle upon my lip, seeing that it is a mustache you have fallen in love with. I assure you I am humiliated into the dust. Notwithstanding the many virtues you have been kind enough to attribute to me—all of them pale into nothingness when weighted in the balance with one poor, delicate, little—" "Oh, please don't, Harold. Can't you see how miserable I am?" "Then I will go—go desolate and alone—" "How long did you say it would take, Harold?" "That depends. I assure you I will do all in my power to—to well, anyway, it is one of those things over which we have no control. It took the last about twenty years—but—considering the dire necessity of the case, nature may be more kindly. Let us hope that you may look upon my—my mustache in three months." "But you'll write and telephone me often, Harold?" "It will give me great pleasure to report from time to time the progress of—that is being made toward new rehabilitation. Until then, I will say good-by." "I bent and kissed her hair." "Harold, I feel awfully—" "Dear Florilla," I said soberly, stopping in the doorway, "we are not solving the problem after all. With the return of the mustache there will return Professor Baldoni and his germs. Have you thought of that?" "Harold,' if you love me, please never mention Baldoni and germs again." "You mean it, Florilla?" "Yes, I'm going to burn the book." "Glory be! Then I go joyfully to my exile. A long, long farewell, dear Florilla," I said, my hand on the door "Harold!' Florilla called sharply. "What is it, dear Florilla?" "If—if you'll turn off the hall light—I'll tell you good night." OLD STYLE ROAD IN PENNSYLVANIA ```markdown ``` The illustration shows a strip of highway along the famous "Scogg River Narrows," in Tioga county, Pennsylvania, before it had been macadamized. GOOD ROADS DIRT ROADS ON THE PRAIRIE Chief Assistant in Information Department at Washington Says First Cut Down the Hills. We have had a great deal to say in the last twenty years on the road question. We have believed that, speaking generally, in the prairie country we shall have to be satisfied with dirt roads, having macadam or other hard roads wherever the material is available, which is only here and there. We have maintained that every good road for most of the year could be made from dirt provided the road had STATE HELP FOR ROAD WORK Wisconsin Highway Commission Receive Reports That Large Increase in Fund Has Been Voted. Full reports have been received by the Wisconsin highway commission of the money voted for state aid, road and bridge construction in 1913. There are 1,195 towns in Wisconsin, of which $65 voted for state aid road construction on 1,257 different pieces of road, asking for state aid to the total amount of $757,273. Two hundred and five towns voted for the construction of 337 bridges, a total amount of $107,754, which calls for $53,877 state aid. In all, $83 different towns in 63 counties voted for state aid, a total amount of $65,027, calling for the sum of $811,150 in state aid These figures show a very large increase, both in number of towns voting and amounts voted, over last year. Last year 511 towns voted a total of $122,200 for roads, and 125 towns voted $55,100 for bridges, in all, 532 towns in 65 counties calling for $452,800 state aid in 1912. The state highway fund for 1913 work is $350,000, to which is added in accordance with law, one-quarter of the net proceeds from the automobile license of $5 per car, amounting to about $28,000. This total sum of $378,000 is $433,150 less than the full amount of state aid requested. Some few counties will get the full state aid requested, as the votes of the towns were light, but about 60 of the counties will get less than they asked for, many of them getting less than one-fifth of the amount requested. It is hoped that some method will be devised whereby the state may give each town what it expected to receive when it made its appropriation, says the Wisconsin Agriculturist. The growth of the movement for better roads in Wisconsin has been so rapid that legislation has not kept pace with it. In 1907 permanent road construction was practically nothing; in 1913, if the state could pay its full share, it would be fully $2,542,000. There has never been in the United States a movement for better roads so statewide, or so generally popular and the results so far secured under the state aid road law promise well for the future development of the roads of Wisconsin. AUTOMOBILE AND GOOD ROADS Farner Who Bought Machine Immediately Starts to Make Improvements on Nearby Highways. (By M. A. COVERDELL.) Some months ago one of our neighbors purchased a good, substantial automobile. He and another neighbor drew an oak saw-log to the mill and had material sawed for two good road drags, the timbers being 11 feet in length, one foot wide and three inches thick. The edges that moved the dirt were faced with pieces of iron four inches wide and three-eighths of an inch thick. After constructing this most effective implement for road-making our neighbor hitched three horses to the drag, climbed into it and proceeded to drag the road (he lives at a crossroad), and how he does improve every highway he traverses. He makes frequent trips with his drag to town, four miles away, and already good effect of his owning an automobile is being observed and felt on our roads, far and near. Hints for Pear Growing. The pear tree grows best and yields the most fruit when planted upon land moderately moist, and yet not cold. To insure this condition there is nothing better than a side hill location, though one more level may do well if underdrained, and then it is better for receiving a wash of sand from the lands above it, which helps to warm it up. Chief Assistant in Information Department at Washington Says First Cut Down the Hills. We have had a great deal to say in the last twenty years on the road question. We have believed that, speaking generally, in the prairie country we shall have to be satisfied with dirt roads, having macadam or other hard roads wherever the material is available, which is only here and there. We have maintained that every good road for most of the year could be made from dirt, provided the road bed had lost its vegetable matter in the course of travel, provided it was properly drained, graded and maintained by the use of the road drag, and provided the culverts and bridges are of concrete or iron and the grades reduced to the minimum. It affords us some gratification to know that Mr. M. O. Eldridge, the chief assistant in the information department of the roads division of the department of agriculture, at Washington, who is now investigating the roads in Iowa, full endorses all these propositions, says Wallace's Farmer. He is apparently as firm a believer in the dirt road properly managed as he would be if he had been brought up on a drag. In an interview Mr. Dildridge says that he regards the first thing to do is to cut down the hills, and remarks that Iowa has more steep hills than Switzerland. This is no doubt due to our habit of laying out roads on section lines. This reminds us of our experience in New York and Pennsylvania. From Ithaca to Harrisburg we were never outside of the mountain section, and yet on that whole trip we did not cross as many steep hills as will be found in going from Des Moines to Winterstet, or across any of the counties in the southwestern part of Iowa. The roads there are not laid out on section lines, but take the best grades. In Pennsylvania, where the same custom prevails, we used to think they were determined by the springs. The cows who roamed the woods made paths to the spring, and being excellent engineers, they chose the best grades. The houses were built at the springs. The roads followed the cow paths to the houses; and hence good grades, no matter how far around they had to go. Mr. Dildridge believes that no road should have more than a fivper cent. grade. One great difficulty in the hilly parts of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and adjoining states is that the roads have been laid out on section lines, and the houses built with reference to the roads. We very much fear that they will remain there for all time, as the expense in cutting down the hills would be terrific. Mr Eldridge further says: "When once a road is made, it is essential that it should be dragged after every rain of consequence. The only way to do this satisfactorily is to have a supervisor for each township or county, whose duty it is to get out men with drags. No man should have more than three miles of road to take care of. After each storm, then, the supervisor can call upon the men to get to work at the right time. The man in charge must know when the time comes to do the dragging." On this we remark that the county is too large a district. There is frequently a two-inch rain in one part of the county, which would necessitate immediate dragging, and a mere sprinkle over the rest of it, and there is never any good done by dragging a dry road. Mr. Eldridge next answers the question as to what kind of a road could be made under this system, as follows: "With the right kind of work, a solid roadbed can be made from the soil in this state. It should be rounded, and traffic should be in the center and not one road on each side of a ridge, that will soak up the water." He then adds: "Good roads will come when the farmer realizes the benefits that will accrue to his land from having them. With good roads the farmer can raise products that will pay better profits than those he now raises. It costs more now to transport grain from a farm nine miles from a railroad than it does to transport the same grain from New York to Liverpool." All of which is undoubtedly true. Agricultural Wealth. Official estimates of the department of agriculture are that the total of agricultural wealth to be produced in the United States this year, including the crops, stock raising and dairying, will be $,000,000,000, a half billion dollars more than last year. The Savannah Tribune Established 1875 By JOHN H. DEVEAUX Published by SOL. C. JOHNSON Editor and Proprietor JAS. H. BUTLER Associ Editor and Manager Published Every Saturday 1009 West Broad Street. Phone 2171. Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. SATURDAY, DEC. 14TH 1912 On January fourteenth next as is generally known, there will be held in our city, an election for Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah. At this time, the voters of Savannah will choose the men in whose keeping they will entrust the government of our city for the next two years. In so doing, the voters of Savannah have a serious and solemn duty to perform, casting all personal likes and dislikes to the wind, they owe it to the insives and to their posterity to vote for the men and measures that will subserve the best interests of our community. The progress as growth of our city in the past have been marked. This growth must continue. We must go forward and not backward. This can only be done when all interests of the city are properly nurtured and protected without fear or favor. In the present mayoralty campaign, the Negro voters of Savannah are destined to play a conspicuous part. The lines of the campaign are already drawn and he, the Negro, is being sought. As we view the situation in its entirety we are overcome with the conviction that now, as never before, is the time for gober and serious chit king on the part of our people before casting their lot with any party or faction. Conditioned unfortunately as we are, an incoming administration means a touch to us as a race. Our participation in the present campaign should not be with an eye single to self or personal gain. Our influence and vote should be given to those men and measures that will best subserve the interest of not only our city but our race as well. There are many things that can and ought to be done for us as a people. In the sections of our city commonly referred to as Negro settlements, much sanitary improvement is needed. The streets are unpaved, the sidewalks are in poor condition, cesspools are found in nearly all of the streets. The service of the scavenger department is poor and irregular. In some of the sections bawdy houses, the inmates of which indulge in all forms of orgies both by day and night, are found among the homes of some of our best people. The school facilities for our children are inadequate. With a little more than half the population of our city, members of our own race, we do not find a single representative of our people on the police force, in the fire department, in the health department as sanitary inspector, etc. This is not as it should be, we are not receiving the political recognition that is due us as citizens and tax payers of our city. To a large extent, we ourselves are to blame for our present plight. We have failed all along to get together for the common good of all. The time for action is near at hand. We must fight our battle not blindly but intelligently and in the light of our former experience. We must get together one and all for our common good. Our wants are known to us, they should be tabulated and presented. The various political clubs should do one of two things; either committees should be appointed from each club to meet later in a general meeting of committees from all of the clubs where a special committee representing all of the clubs would be appointed to make known our demands to the various factions and to find out their position on the same, or, in one monster-mass meeting of all clubs select a committee to wait on the factions in order that our wants may be made known. After this is done, then the faction that offers us the most recognition and concessions should be the faction to receive our influence and vote. This ought to be done. We cannot stand apart from each other and expect to gain recognition, we must get together. Let personal feeling be relegated to the rear for the time being at least and let us all get together for the common good of us all. We have an opportunity now, shall we seize it. To do so will give us life, to fail to do so is suicidal. Let us get busy at once and do our duty to ourselves and our posterity. The unanimity of condemnation on the part of the Southern Press of the recent nihilistic utterances of the demagogic Governor of South Carolina before the Conference of Governors recently convened in Richmond, Va., is indeed most pleasing and encouraging to note. This present attribute on the part of the Southern Press against the incendiary manner and method of the South Carolina executive portends in a large measure the growth and development in the South of a more altruistic feeling among its natives and a greater respect for law and order. While we regret very much that we as a people are singled out for such invectives as that of Governor Please, yet we cannot escape the conviction that under the present condition of affairs in this country and especially the South as it pertains uncontrollably to the Negro, such distributes as that of Governor Please do us more good than harm. We consciously believe that more dormant friends in the Negro was crused in the breasts of the Governors, and balance upon the governor's overreaction by the unusually constant ranks of the South Carolina executive than there would have been had the governor kept science and not emitted huge on the race problem. Twoteen governors, the dignified Executive of as many states voted unanimously a reprimand to the South Carolina Governor. A half dozen of these Governors felt that they owed it as a duty to their constituents not to sit by idly and wince at such demagogic and unlawful utterances as those made by Governor Please. They arose, and in speeches nilled with much feeling, not only condemned the Governor of South Carolina for disregarding the Constitution of his State and Country, which he was under oath to obey and protect but pledged themselves as being unalterably opposed to lynching and determined to exert every possible influence against lynchings in their respective states. The presence of Governor Please at the Conference of Governors, made it necessary for them to place themselves on record as to their position on lynching. To a man, those of them who spoke, opposed it in no uncertain terms. Hence they returned to their constituents with the memory of their most recent pledge to protect and defend all classes of their citizens fresh within them. As an all wind, Governor Please has unconsciously and unintentionally blown us good. Meanwhile, the great state of South Carolina with its glorious history of the past and its glowing opportunities of the present must suffer both political and financial stagnation as a result of the utterances of its Governor. Outside capitalists will neither invest nor will desireable home seeking inhabitants settle in a state whose Governor places a premium on mob violence and who immodestly parades his popularity which he claims is a result of his approval of mob violence. And yet, Governor Please relying upon the suffrage of the people of South Carolina says that he will go to the Senate at the expiration of his second term as Governor. We shall wait and see. The people of South Carolina have been humiliated by the action and speech of their present Governor. We believe, with the press of the South assuming a new attitude, that there will soon awaken such righteous indignation within the breast of the good people of South Carolina, that Please and his ilk will find no place within its bailiwicks. Meantime, the Negro is finding new and true friends and helping to regenerate our great and glorious Southland. Within the few past weeks, several public meetings, the purpose of which was to arouse in our people a keener and more helpful interest in the welfare of our business and professional men, have been held in certain of our churches. At these meetings various arguments were presented to show that there is at the present a dire lack of interest on the part of a large portion of our people in the welfare and support of the business and professional men of our race. That there is great need of an awakening of our people along this line, no one can deny. It is indeed a fact that resists successful disputation that a large portion of our people fail to do their duty toward the business enterprises of our people. The proper recognition and support of the enterprises do not come from them. As a result, after a short life and death struggle, the average-Negro business enterprise goes to the wall. This is to be regretted. For many years to come, at least, Negro business enterprises must depend almost solely upon the patronage of Negroes for their support. Our drug stores, dry goods stores, confectionery stores, our banks and in- surance companies and our doctors and lawyers must of necessity realize this. Hence, wise is the Negro business or professional man, who conscious of the fact that the bulk of his support must come from his own people, strives to learn their habits, instincts and peculiarities of race, that he is the best able to give the service that his people need. We have in our midst a number of capable and efficient professional men. And too, we find a number of our people engaged in a small but lucrative business enterprise, small because the business has not received a general support but lucrative because the man at the head of the business has been able "to deliver the goods" to those who are its customers. Any people who hope to survive in the great competitive struggle of the day, must have race pride and a great deal of it. This is true of the Negro as well as any other people. We believe that whenever a Negro, by training and experience, is able as a lawyer or doctor to give required professional service that he should be given the preference when one of our race is in need of such service. We believe further that whenever goods are to be bought, and the same can be had of a Negro at market prices in conjunction with first-class service that the Negro business man should be given the preference. This is being done by people of other races; it ought to be done by us. With upward of forty thousand Negroes in Savannah as constituency, there is no reason why Negroes should not be found engaged in almost every legitimate field of business. Our shoe stores, our haberdasheries, our hardware and tea stores, our grain and feed stores, our wholesale and retail grocery stores should be found in every block and on almost every corner. In the business and professional world we must build for ourselves. This can only be done by our giving the proper support to our business and professional men of merit. The movement instituted by some of our churchster a broader and more generous support of our business and professional men is a step in the right direction. Let our people of whatever class rich and poor, high and low feel that it is a duty which they owe to the race to patronize, as far as possible the worthy business enterprises and professional men among us. This is our duty. Let us face it and do our share. In Memoriam. MR. JOE HAGAN departed this life December 15, 1911.

Then read the following from the Savannah Press of the 6th inst: 1 COLORED PEOPLE AS REAL ESTATE BUYERS "The colored people have shown great discretion during the past few years. Formerly it was only necessary to cut up a piece of land, no matter where, and they would buy it, pay something on it and in many cases drop it. Not so now. They are more particular and have shown greater shrewdness than ever before. Buying to the southward in the line of the city's growth, where land will be worth fifty to one in the years to come, and in the southern part of the city, where property will enhance continually with the advent of every new railroad and manufacturing enterprise. Some of the best sites for factories lie to the southwest of the city on the Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line railways.

PLAN OF RECALL BEFORE SENATE Proposes to Amend Constitution to Permit Popular Vote. LEVER AGAINST CONGRESS. Gives President Whip Over Congress—Would Permit Appeal To People from Supreme Court's Decision. Washington.—The initiative and the recall of judicial decisions, as amendments to the Federal Constitution, were proposed by Senator Bristow in resolutions laid before the Senate. Senator Bristow's first resolution would permit the President to.submit to popular vote at a Congressional election any measure he has recommended to Congress and upon which no action has been taken for six months. To Overrule Court. The second would provide that "if the Supreme Court shall decide a law enacted by Congress is in violation of the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, the Congress at a regular session held after such decision may submit the act to the electors at a regular Congressional election." Under each amendment it is proposed that the questions submitted to the people must mave a majority of the popular vote in a majority of the States, as well as in a majority of the Congressional districts of the nation. Lever Against Congress. In a brief explanation Senator Bristow declared the amendment affecting the President would enable him to appeal from a dilatory or adverse Congress to the people, and that a President could not, as an excuse for signing an undesirable measure, say that it was the best he could get from an unfriendly Congress. Senator Bristow, in support of his amendment affecting decisions of the Supreme Court, declared that it would "give to the people an opportunity to state whether or not they desire the law enacted by Congress and approved by the President, to stand as the last expression of their will and judgment." JOHNSON WEDS WHITE GIRL. Negro Pugilist Married To Lucille Cameron. Chicago.—Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, and Lucille Cameron, the Minneapolis white girl, were married here in the home of Johnson's mother. "I guess this will stop all those prosecutions," said the negro rather grimly. "As soon as we can get away we will go to Paris." The marriage took place almost on the same spot in the front parlor of the Wabash avenue home where the body of Johnson's first white wife, who died a suicide through the bitterness of her lot, lay only a few short weeks ago. WOMAN JURY CONVICTS WOMAN. Takes a Recess To Allow Members To Cook Dinner. Twin Falls, Idaho.—The first jury of women in Idaho found one of their own sex guilty of threatening a man with a revolver, but recommended her to the mercy of the court. The defendant, Mrs. Edward Butts, was on trial in the Probate Court, charged with drawing a weapon upon Arthur Requa. The hearing was adjourned while the jurors prepared the midday meal for their families, and when the evidence was in they reached their verdict in less than one hour. COLONEL GRACIE DEAD. Went Down with Ship, but Came to Surface. New York.—The last man to be saved from the sinking Titanic, Col. Archibald Grace, of Washington, died in a private hospital at 34 East Thirty-second street. The Colonel went down with the ill-fated steamer and, after being whirled around for a time, managed to grasp a wooden grating. This supported him until he was able to swim to a life raft and he stayed on it until picked up by one of the lifeboats. CHILD KILLS COMPANION. Four-Year-Old Boy Shot By Young Playmate. Corning, N. Y.—George Button, a four-year-old boy, fatally shot Ray Adams, the same age, at Mills, Pa. The Adams boy aimed a pop gun at his companion, who in turn fired a revolver which had been left on a table in the room where they were playing. The bullet entered the Adams boy's mouth and passed through the lower part of his skull. SAW VOTES BEING BOUGHT. So Says Defeated Democrat Of Fairfield. Conn. Fairfield, Conn.—Alfred S. Perry, defeated Democratic candidate for judge of probate, in filling his election expenses, swore that he spent no money in his campaign but did spend "one day's time watching Republicans buy votes." AT LAST MY TOBACCO HAS COME FOR GOODNESS SAKE HENRY, WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING—RAG-WEED!! ANTICIPATION REALIZATION COST A MILLION TO ELECT WILSON Democratic National Committee's Expenses. CHARLES R. CRANE LEADS. Statement Filed With the House Shows Expenditure of $1,159,-446, With Contributions of $1,110,952 Washington.—It cost the Democratic National Committee $1,159,446 to carry the election for Wilson and Marshall, according to its final statement of contributions and expenses filed with the House. Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, was the heaviest contributor with $40,000, closely pressed by Cleveland H. Dodge, of New York, $35,000 and Herman Ridder, of New York, as treasurer of funds collected for the committee, $30,073. The total of $1,110,952 contributions received by the committee came from 89,854 separate contributions; of which all but 1,625 were in amounts less than $100. POSTAL CARD LESS POPULAR. Gaudier Postcard Is Now Largely Taking Its Place. Washington.—The public appears to have forsaken the government's sober postal card for the gaudierproduction of the souvenir shop, for the report of Public Printer Donnelly shows that only 770,253,399 cards were printed in 1912, while in the preceding year the big establishment turned out 1,280,895,840. The printing office is run on a cost basis, for Congress and the government departments. Its business for the past year amounted to $6,775,825, the largest in its history, and the Public Printer promises a reduction of 6 per cent. In its charges for the next year. Speaking in typographical terms, the printery produced 1,002,078,306 "impressions" during the year. $200,000 FIRE AT RICHMOND. Express Officers and Book Storeroom Gutted by Flames. Richmond, Va.—Fire in the three-story brick building at Ninth and Cary streets, occupied jointly by the Southern Express Company and the Adams Express Company, made such headway that the entire fire-fighting equipment was called out. The structure was completely gutted. The upper floor was occupied by the offices and general storeroom of the Virginia Book Company, which supplies schoolbooks for the entire State of Virginia. Only a few records and packages of express were removed from the storerooms of the two express companies. The loss will be about $200,000. TOWN MOVED FOUR MILES. Cold Springs, Okla. Transported On Flat Cars. Guthrie, Okla.-The town of Cold Springs, in Kiowa county, was moved four miles south, in compliance with an order of the state corporation commission.

Says Senator Exemplified All That Is Best In Public Life. Lincoln, Neb.—William J. Bryan paid this tribute to the late Senator Rayner in the Commoner: "In the death of Isidor Rayner, of Maryland, the Democratic party lost a strong leader and the United States of America lost a valuable citizen." THREE BURNED IN JAIL. Prisoners Set Fire, Hoping Thus to Escape. Crowley, La.—Three prisoners in the local jail were cremated when they set fire to the structure in an attempt to burn their way to freedom. A DEEP PROBE INTO RAILROADS House Unanimously Pases Physical Valuation Bill. STOCK AND BOND INQUIRY. Purpose Of the Bill Is To Have Railroad Rates Fixed On the Basis Of Income On Actual Washington.—Amended to authorize a complete investigation into the question of interstate carrier corporation stock and bond issues, the bill by Representative Adamson, empowering the Interstate Commerce Commission to make a physical valuation of the property of railroads and other common carriers was passed by the House without a dissenting vote. The measure, asked-for by the Inter-State Commerce Commission, provides for a far-reaching inquiry with the view of having railroad rates fixed on the basis of income on actual investment. It would authorize the employment of engineers and other experts, with power to summon witnesses and take testimony, to make an inventory listing in detail the property of every interstate carrier. The investigators would be directed to ascertain the original cost for railway purposes of each piece of property, the cost and value to the present owner and what increase in value is due to improvements. All questions relating to existing stock and bond issues of such carriers also would be inquired into and reported upon. Representative Mann, of Illinois, offered the amendment directing the examination into the stock and bond issue question after a point of order had been sustained against his amendment authorizing the Inter-State Commerce Commission to regulate and restrict the issuance of securities by carriers. The amendment adopted provides that the proposed investigation by the commission's experts shall "also cover so far as practicable questions pertaining to the issuance of stocks and bonds by common carrier corporations, subject to the provisions of this act, and the power of Congress to regulate or affect the same, and particularly methods to prevent the issuance of stocks and bonds by such corporations without full value being received therefor." TO PENSION EX-PRESIDENTS. Representative De Forrest Would Al- low Them $2,000 Per Month. Washington.—One of the first bills introduced in the House proposed to pension all future ex-presidents at the rate of $2,000 a month. The bill was introduced by Representative De Forrest, a New York Democrat. Mr. De Forrest also asked an appropriation for the widows of future ex-presidents at the rate of $1,000 a month and a pension for their minor children of $200 a month. A companion bill introduced by Mr. De Forrest proposes an amendment to the Constitution to fix the term of the president at six years and to make him ineligible for reelection. James F. Fielder To Become Governor Of New Jersey. Trenton, N. J.—Democratic state senators of the next New Jersey legislature in caucus here selected Senator James F. Fielder, of Hudson county, as the majority nominee for president of the Senate. Mr. Fielder will succeed Governor Wilson when the latter resigns to go, to Washington. Senator James A. C. Johnson, Bergen county, was selected as president prot. and will succeed Senator Fielder as president of the Senate after the latter becomes acting governor. CONTESTS LEVY'S ELECTION. Goodman, His Opponent, Claims He Spent Too Much. Washington.—A. H. Goodman, a Progressive candidate, for Congress against Representative Levy, of New York, sent notice of contest to the House against Mr. Levy's retention of his seat. It was alleged that Mr. Levy spent more than the $5,000 limit to procure his election. Women Start Movement To Increase Love For Stars and Stripes. Portland, Ore.-With the object of fostering loyalty "to our homes, our flag and our country," women of Oregon have started a movement which they hope will spread throughout the Union and which will provide a formidable counter to the insidious advance of the "red flag Socialists." William S. Taylor Takes Mrs. Nora Meyers As Bride. Louisville, Ky.—Announcement was made here of the marriage at Jamestown, Ky., of former Gov. William S. Taylor, of Kentucky, and Mrs. Nora Meyers. They will make their home in Indianapolis, Ind., where Governor Taylor has resided since the turbulent period following the assassination of Governor Goebel 12 years ago. --- GREECE WILLING TO FIGHT ALONE Still Holds Out Against Signing the Armistice. TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT. Official Note Issued In Constantinople Says the State Of War With Greece Continues. Constantinople. — An official note says: "An armistice has been concluded with Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro. The state of war with Greece continues." Although the complete terms of the protocol have not been made public, it is learned that the question of revictualing the beleaguered towns was abandoned, the government being satisfied that the towns were sufficiently supplied with foodstuffs to last until the conclusion of peace. The only condition mentioned in the official communication to the press is that the troops will remain in the positions now occupied. It is understood that no limit has been placed on the armistice, which may be terminated by 48 hours' notice by either side. Speculation is rife as to the real reason for the failure of Greece to be a signatory to the armistice. It is generally felt that the mere rejection of the special Greek demands did not constitute a sufficient reason for Greece's independent attitude. These demands were the capitulation of Janina and the surrender of the Turkish troops in the Islands of Chios and Mytilene. In some quarters the attitude of Greece is ascribed to megalo-mania—the type of insanity where the ideas are exalted. According to another view, Turkey has succeeded in putting a wedge between Greece and the Slav states, the friction between the Greeks and the Bulgarians at Saloniki being adroitly utilized with that object. Athens.—Commenting on the conclusions of the armistice, the Athens newspapers express the conviction that the government will, if necessary, continue the war without her allies. According to advices from Saloniki the Greeks are meeting with considerable opposition in Epirus. The Turkish Army which retreated from Monastir has not surrendered, but the submission of small detachments continue. No Break Among Allies. London.—It is officially announced in Athens that Greek plenipotentiaries will participate in the peace negotiations. A semi-official statement, issued in the Greek capital, protests against interpreting the fact that Greece did not sign the armistice as proof that dissensions exist among the allies, and declares that it was by agreement of the allies that Greece adopted a different attitude than the other states. DR. ALICE STOCKHAM DEAD She Was One Of the Pioneers Of the Eugenic Movement. Chicago.—Dr. Alice Bunker Stockham, widely known as a physician, author, suffraist and one of the ploneers of the eugenic movement, is dead at her late home in Alhambra, near Los Angeles, according to word received in Chicago. Dr. Stockham was born of Quaker parentage at Cardington, G., in 1833. SWITZERLAND ALSO PREPARING. Republic Stores Wheat and Corn In Large Quantities. Geneva, Switzerland.—Even Switzerland appears to be preparing for the eventuality of war. The Federal Government is filling the various military storehouses with wheat and corn ordered from the United States and Canada. A large quantity, consisting of 572 carloads, is on the way to Zurich from Rotterdam. WILL SUCCEED WILSON. FIGHTING THE RED FLAG. FORMER GOVERNOR WEDS. --- CAP and BELLS FINE WAY OF PAYING DEBTS Editor, Persuaded by Tailor to Order Suit of Clothes, Adopts Novel Method of Payment. When a newspaper man of New Orleans was preparing to leave that city in order to take a position in New York, a tailor named Eisenstein overwhelmed him with offers of new suits of clothes at unusually low prices. The writer finally took the clothes, put them on, and set out for New York, carefully neglecting to pay Mr. Eisenstein any money at all. A few months later he received this communication from the tailor: "Dear Sir: On looking over my books I find that you are Indebted to me in the sum of fifty dollars. Kindly remit same at your earliest convenience. Very truly yours, "SAMUEL EISENSTEIN." Hurling himself upon his trusty typewriter, the newspaper man wrote the following gem: "Dear Mr. Eisenstein: Inclosed find my check for one hundred dollars. If you can get it cashed, kindly remit the other fifty dollars."—Popular Magazine. One/That He Forgot. Two black-faced minstrels were giving an entertainment on the sands of a certain seaside holiday resort recently. While one of them was telling funny stories about the humors of boarding house landladies, the other went among the crowd making a collection. He at length went up to a stern-looking woman, who promptly snatched the tambourine from his hand and poured the contents into her lap. As she returned the empty tambourine to the astonished minstrel she exclaimed: "Tell your friend who knows so much about landladies that I'm the one he forgot to pay the last time he was here!" Reporters' Troubles. A well-known newspaper man was talking about the difficulties of a reporter's life. "A kind of intuition, a kind of mind reading," he said, "is essential to successful reporting. "Two business men were talking at a club. "Did you tell that reporter not to announce that you were a candidate for the shrivelalty?" said the first. "The other looked up from his journal gloomily. "Yes," he answered, 'and the durn fool never put it in his paper!'" FEARFUL PATE Vonx Editor—You made an awful mistake in setting up that poem. Composer—What poem? Editor—"Polly's Dimples;" and you set it up "Polly's Pimples." Split Possessives. Split infinitives jar on the sensibilities of the meticulous, but split possessives are funny Sometimes. You cure them, by coming back with one that's slightly worse. Frinstance: "Did you see the lady that got off the car's red parasol?" "Yes, but look at that man down there on the other side of the street's funny fuzzy hat." His Time Is Money. "Is he a man of much importance in this community?" "I should say he is! A caller has to pass through six ground glass doors and explain his mission to three secretaries before he ever gets a glimpse of that man." First Bachelor Maid—Miss Singleton is playing with fire again. Second Bachelor Maid—How is that? First Bachelor Maid—Gcing with an "old flame" of hers.—Judge. More Real Enjoyment at Play Than Time She Saw David Harum, In "The Music Teacher." "Yes, yes, indeed! 'Bunny Pulls the Strings' is certainly a nice little play," remarked Mrs. Wood B. Highbrow, patronizingly. "Of course, a person of high intellectual pabulum would prefer a play of Isben's or Shakespeare's or that other celebrated dramatist—let's see, what is his name? It's the French for 'rooster.' Oh, yes, Cyrano Rostand—but for an evening's digression, 'Bunny' proved very enervating, especially for a person of sedimentary habits, like Wood. "When the dear man proposed going, I was reluctant, fearing my amour propre—which is so delicate in me—might be shocked, but, much to my relief, 'Bunny' never even mentioned corset, much less pulled it tighter in plain view. "Wasn't Molly McIntosh cute in hoopskirts? However, I'm glad bouffe draperies are blase. It took me some time to get used to tight skirts, but now that I have reduced my environment by daily messages, I feel perfectly naive in them. "No, I didn't find it hard to understand the dialect. You see, I am perfectly familiar with the Beverly novels and Walter's 'Scottish Chlefs' and 'The Sticky Minister,' which all abound in Scotch phrenology. "Yes, yes, indeed! Wood and I haven't laughed and cried so much at a play since we saw David Harum in 'The Music Teacher.'"—Kansas City Star. HASTE IS WASTE. "Bis dat qui cito dat.' That's Eyetalian, I guess. What's it mean? Do you know?" "Literally. 'He gives twice who gives quickly.' A freer translation would be 'He who gives quickly gives twice as much as he would if he stopped to think it over.'" Merely an Inference. "Have you asked my daughter to be your wife?" "No, sir." "Then why do you come to me to ask for her? How do you know she would accept you if I gave my consent?" "Well, I have an idea that it will be all right. She asked me about my salary last night." "Yes?" "And when I told her how much I was getting per week I noticed that she neither looked at the clock nor said anything about being all tired out because she had been on duty all day, tagging for the benefit of the Children's hospital." As Gentlemen Go. The women's waiting room of a certain Cleveland hotel is presided over by one of the mildest-mannered, self-effacing little ladies in existence. She seldom speaks, and never finds fault. It is related of her that a young man came into the room one time to keep an appointment with a woman who had not yet appeared. He held a cigar in his hand. "May one smoke here?" he asked, politely. "I'm sorry," smiled the attendant, "but it's against the rules." "Where did all those cigar stubs come from?" "They were left by gentlemen who didn't ask." Muffied Knocks. "Tommy... you musn't interrupt Mrs. Kawler. She has only a few minutes to stay, and she wants to do the talking." "Sometimes I feel, Gerald, that if I didn't see you oftener than once in six months I'd think ever so much more of you." "You have such good little boys. Mrs. Fagus, that I often wonder why you don't dress them decently." "You're well fixed financially, old chap, and you really ought to try to move in good society." Cure Worked. "How many of these sheep got out of here?" asked the angry farmer. "I don't know," replied the new hired man, rubbing his eyes. "After I had watched five or six of 'em jump over the fence I seemed to lose the count, for that always puts me to sleep."—Lippincott's. Ladies and Cigarettes "My wife made me promise to quit smoking before she would marry me," remarked Mr. Meekton. "And now?" "I'm doing my best to get her to promise not to begin." Fostering a Fancy. Mrs. Jones—Why are you going home so soon? Surely your husband can get along without you. Mrs. Smith—I know it. But I don't want him to find out that he can THE SCRAP BOOK HARD TIMES IN JAPAN. The semi-official Japan Times gives a pitiful account of the miseries throughout the country caused by the increased cost of commodities. Masses of people, always on the border line of starvation, have been forced over the line by the elasticity of prices and the rigidity of pay. "The laboring men cannot support their families with the scanty wages they get. The little storekeepers find it impossible to balance their ledgers with the credit ahead of the debit, and are universally discouraged by dull business. At homes their wives need money and their children are simply crying aloud from starvation. The hard-pressed and miserable husbands go out in the morning to search for work, and many of them never return again at night." The results are similar to those in other countries. Crime has vastly increased; so has suicide; and the country is rent by labor quarrels and strikes. In the arsenals alone there are 20,000 men clamoring for Increased pay.—Argonaut. · MEREDITH'S POETRY. There is no doubt that into the poems went the most of Meredith's "message"—and, however we dislike the word, Meredith most emphatically had a message. There is little in the novels to compare with the downright doctrine of the poems; it is in them that his words have most conspicuously the zeal of the man who dare not cease from believing that the labors of his brain are meant for the good of his kind. One may assume that the pregnant and earnest teaching which Meredith packed (somewhat tightly packed) into his poetry is pretty well-known to the cultivated nowadays. Be strong! is his favorite word; whatever other virtues may be desirable, the prime necessity for a man, if he is to profit by life, and still more if life is to profit by him, is strength—spiritual strength. And it is from Mother Earth man is to draw his strength; from whole-hearted and loving acceptance of earth.—Lascelles Abercromble. COUNTRY GIRL'S CHARM. Every girl has her own particular charm, but certainly the country girl possesses some extra specially beguiling ones. To begin with, she is so much younger than her town sister—for all that the years may declare differently. So infinitely fresher in mind, as she is rosier in complexion and brighter of eyes. Amusements that have ceased to be amusements to the town dweller fill her with keenest enjoyment. Perhaps. It is in delicious and frankly displayed joy of life that the country girl most excels. Her tongue may be less ready, her general appearance less smart than if she had grown among brick walls and shop windows, but the country girl's bright face takes all hearts by storm and the gentle friendliness that is the inevitable result of country neighborliness makes friends for her wherever she goes. MODEST HERO. Israel Greenberg, seven years old, was playing on the string piece of pier 21, East river, New York, when he tripped and fell into the water. A woman who saw him fall ran for help, and the first person she met was a neatly dressed man who had come off one of the New Haven boats. The man dropped his vallse, ran to the spot, and dived into the water. He swam to the boy, and, grabbing him, managed to get him aboard a sand barge Patrolman Meyers found the man and the boy on the barge, and asked the man his name. "You don't want my name," said the man. "That isn't necessary. Just show me a place where I can change my clothes. That is all I want." The policeman called an ambulance, and the boy was removed to the Hudson Street hospital. Then Meyers led the rescuer to a seaman's lodginghouse. LIGHT LIKE THAT OF DAY. Patents have just been taken out in Berlin for using marble instead of glass in lamps, which has the effect of making the illumination scarcely distinguishable from daylight. Innumerable experiments have been made with tinted and patterned types of glass with the idea of producing this effect, but all have been failures. As a last recourse a sheet of white marble was planed down until it was semi-transparent, and then different intensities of light were shown from behind. The result was exactly what so many but seeds of experiments had failed to produce. Develop this discovery the patientess have fitted lights to the corner of a room with such success that it is difficult to prove that it is artificially light. TOADS. This is about toads. Just toads. So, if you aren't interested in toads, don't care anything about the advancement or uplift of toads, you really may as well skip the paragraph. Toads have been accused of ability to poison infants with their breath, to cause cows to go dry, to carry valuable jewels inside their head, and to cause warts on the hands of naughty little boys. Moreover, no toad can ever hope to take a prize in a beauty show. But scientists of the United States agricultural department have shown that the toad is no gem carrier, doesn't poison infants, cause warts or harm cattle. On the other hand, each toad is worth $19.44 a year as an efficient and patient-destroyer of noxious bugs and insects. The toad, in fact, is an epicure in bug eating. As such he should be encouraged in all gardens, farms and woodland groves. He is an amiable, but independent, animal, so the use of the term "toadying" is slanderous in respect to him. To deprive a toad of life is to encourage files and other pests. What is needed is a society for the protection and patronage of toads. Perhaps in time, by eugenic methods, a handsomer race of toads might be evolved. CLOVES. Cloves, which are used to good advantage in preserving fruits, are the flower-buds of a tree that usually attains a height of between 20 and 40 feet, with a beautiful pyramidal head of foliage. The leaves are large, of an oblong shape, and evergreen. The flowers are small, but very abundant. The leaves, flowers and bark of the clove tree possess a strong aromatic perfume. The ripe fruit of this tree is shaped like a small olive. It is sometimes dried and used by the natives, as are also the broken fruit stalks, but the flower buds are the most valuable part of the tree. They are gathered at the proper season, and dried in the sun. The tree is a native of the Spice Islands, but is also cultivated in Sumatra, and some other parts of the West Indies. The oil of cloves is useful in medicine, being often added to tonic mixtures. POETRY AND THE CHILD. Read poetry to the child Read easy, simple verse, read nonsense verse, read real poems, read sometimes such poems as "Thanatopsis" and bits of "Paradise Lost." Of course the child will not understand the thought, but he will enjoy the sound, and he will unconsciously learn the words. Poetry was never meant to be read to one's self, but always to be read aloud or recited. It is harder than prose. The order of the words is often unlike our everyday speech, and the words themselves are frequently different. Here especially, children need help. If they find it they learn to love poetry, and there are few things that so sweeten life as a genuine love for poetry, for its beauties and for the helpful lines that come to one's mind in hard places. Home Progress Magazine. ENGLAND'S NATIONAL AIR. According to Professor Cambouroglon of Athens the tune of "God Save the King" is one of the oldest we have. Six years ago the professor discovered, among the manuscripts in the National Library of Greece, the words and music of an anthem composed in 1457 in honor of Emperor Constantine Paleologos. The anthem opens with the line, "Long may our sovereign reign," repeated three times. The musical notation is of an obsolete type and had to be transposed by an expert in ancient music. It was then found that the tune of the fifteenth century anthem is almost identical with that of "God Save the King."—London Chronicle. CONVICTS KEEP THEIR NAMES. No more ridiculous statement appeared in the press than that a man in prison is known by his number and not by his name. The numbers are serial, explains the Outlook; those at Sing Sing are now over 60,000 and those at Auburn over 31,000 and those at Clinton over 10,000. Imagine how cumbersome it would be to employ such numbers as names. The guards would be candidates for a madhouse if such a task were theirs. John Jones remains John Jones throughout his prison experience and only knows he has a number when he has business with the administration officers, when the number is used, in addition to the name, as a further means of identification. CARVED WITH POCKETKNIFE. A clever carved model of the capitol at Washington, D. C., has been made by Prof. George F. Sayres of Stokesville, Va. The carving is of wood and was made with no other tool than an ordinary pocketknife, not even a carpenter's square being used on it. The carving consists of more than thousand pieces. The wood used is poplar, white pine and white walnut. The height of the building is ten inches to the crest of the Liberty statue. The structure is two feet long and about eight inches wide. The grounds contain 141 trees, made of felt of different shades of green, which supply a beautiful and artistic setting for the work. Brunette Age. "They say that blondes are dying out."

Blithe One Happened to Be Married and the Father of Two Children— Also to Have Vanished—Pollice Now Seeking Him. Chicago.—Six months ago Miss Emily Edyth Tannen was an unsophisticated fortuneteller occupying a commodious, but unpretentious tent on the outskirts of Seattle, and teasing-a reluctant livelihood from a grudging world by means of her unparalleled powers of clairvoyance, trance mediumship, and psychomancy, and unexamined skill in divining the mysteries of the future from curves, lines and fissures of the human palm. Life for Miss Emily Edyth Tannen was happy and gay. That was before William Cadrous of 9232 Erie avenue, South Chicago, crossed Miss Tannen's path. It was one bright, sunshiny day early in June when Cadrous entered Miss Tannen's unpretentious tent. All nature seemed in tune. Mr. Cadrous was tall and dark, and Miss Tannen had no sooner looked at him than she recognized her true affinity. Mr. Cadrous wanted his fortune told and Miss Tannen told it with a wealth of detall and a prodigality of optimism that won Mr. Cadrous' enthusiastic interest. She informed him, among other things, that within a short time he was to fall in love with a beautiful young woman of about Miss Tannen's general style of architecture and assortment of features, and Mr. Cadrous replied, at the same time looking admiringly at Miss Tannen, that by a strange coincidence a presentiment of the same sort had just impressed itself upon him—this is what Miss Tannen says. A community of interest thus having been effected Miss Tannen and Cadrous became friends. Frequently, while he lived in Seattle, he called upon the fortune teller, and every time he called Miss Tannen drew from him rosy pictures of the future. At last, she says, they plighted their troth. Then, she declares, Cadrous went away to South Chicago to arrange for the wedding. For a long time after this, says Miss Tannen, she and Cadrous corresponded. Cadrous' communications, she declares, were full of expressions of undying affection. Then one day he ceased to write. There was a heart-breaking and permanent hiatus. Then Miss Tannen silently folded her tent and came to Chicago. She appeared before Lieut. Patrick McCauley at the South Chicago station the other day with tear stains on her cheeks and some of Cadrous' alleged letters in her hand. She asked the policeman to find her recreant flance. Lieutenant McCauley Investigated. He discovered that Cadrous is a married street car employe with two children. He ascertained also that Cadrous had recently dropped mysteriously out of sight. Miss Tannen, when told this bitter news, swore out a warrant for Cadrous, charging him with disorderly conduct. The police are now hunting for him. "I guess she's not much of a fortune teller," said McCauley, "seeling she went so far wrong on her own, but she seems to be a nice girl. "And those letters," he added, reminiscently, "say, I thought I'd read some mushy ones in my time, but those letters that street-car man wrote to that fortune teller sure were all to the sugar." GRAY-HAIRED BABY IS BORN Birth of Infant With Full Growth of Silver Locks Creates Much Excitement. Whitesburg, Ky.—The farming community of Pine Creek, near Making, five miles from this city, is all agog over the birth of a baby boy with a full growth of gray hair. The baby boy was born early the other day to the wife of John H. Craft, a prosperous farmer. The news spread rapidly and all day long the home of Craft was besieged by neighbors and friends, some of them coming many miles, to take a look at the new arrival. Never before in the history of the community has anything stirred the people to such great interest as has this phenomenon. It is the talk everywhere, at the country store, on the pike and in the farmhouses. OLD SEXTON MAN OF PEACE Gently Lays Would-Be Robber on Back and Keeps on Way to Church. Palmyra, N. J.—Martin Stockbrine, seventy-year-old sexton of the Palmyra M. E. church, is a man of peaceable instincts. A highwayman attacked him as he started from his home to open the edifice before daybreak, and as Stockbrine tried to escape landed a smashing blow on his nose and tried to throw him to the ground. The old sexton refused to hit back, but turned and, seizing his assailant by the shoulders, lifted him from his feet and gently laid him on his back on the pavement. Then the old man slipped quietly oT toward the church and the highwayman, nervously watching until his intended victim had disappeared, scurried to his feet and ran off in the opposite direction.
