VOLUME XXVIII Christmas Gifts Of Civic League Christmas Gifts Of Civic League THREE WAGON LOADS OF GOODS DISTRIBUTED TO POOR OF CITY Seven-hundred-forty Packages Given Away—Poor in Every Section of the City Assisted—Scores of Destitute Families Made Happy—Many Kind-hearted Ladies Gave Services to Cause. Christmas was a day of great rejoicing among all classes of people in Savannah and never before in the history of our city was charity dispensed so freely as on last Wednesday, and especially toward the Negro poor. The wide distribution of charity toward the poor Negroes of the city was accounted for very largely by the good work which the Negro Civic Improvement League did along this line. Never before have the Negroes given as freely and with such good effect as they have during this Christmas and the name of the Negro Civic Improvement League is being talked of in many a poor household where, prior to the natal day of our Saviour, this organization was unheard of. For a little over a week prior to Christmas day the league had been raising funds to assist the needy ones among us and how well they succeeded in their efforts may well be learned from the hundreds of pbor homes into which went their Christmas baskets conveying many nourishing articles of food, much wearing apparel and many beautiful toys. This Christmas day was the first real opportunity which the league has had to demonstrate to the city its work along the line of giving to the poor and making them feel that their more fortunate brothers are striving to alleviate their miserable conditions. True it is that the league had done much prior to Wednesday toward making known the needs of the poor of the city but the work of Christmas day was the crowning event in the career of this organization and demonstrated that the Negroes are in no way wanting in their generosity toward the poor of their race. The money raised by the league to make Christmas a day of rejoicing for the poor, amounted to several hundred dollars, most of which was raised among the members of the league, other Negroes and a few white friends. All during Monday and Tuesday the rooms of the league in The Tribune building were the scenes of much animation and the headquarters for a score or more kind hearted ladies who had consented to assist the league in fixing up the hundreds of baskets that were to be given away. Until late Tuesday night these ladies toiled away and when Christmas morning arrived every basket was packed in that dainty manner which is characteristic of feminine hands. On Christmas morning the baskets and packages were all brought down in front of The Tribune office and the sight of hundreds of articles of food, wearing apparel and toys attracted no small attention. Three large wagons were used in distributing the articles and as they were being loaded hundreds of people viewed the spectacle. Upon each wagon went some of the faithful ladies and up until late at night they were still on the wagons giving out the baskets and going into the homes of those who were unable to make their way to the wagon. Into every section of the city did the seven hundred odd parcels go and hundreds of souls in the low and neglected hovels of the city were made to feel the tender touch of the Christmas season who, if not for the Negro Civic Improvement League might have gone unnoticed. Styles-Young Nuptials The marriage of Mr. Thomas G. Young and Miss Lillian G. Styles was solemnized on the 18th of December at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs.Marie Styles, 606 Anderson street, East. Mr. and Mrs. Young are at home at 602 34th street, East.

All seemed to realize that it was the last for this year. The services in the morning were conducted by Rev. C. Walker, his text was from Heb 10:22. The baptismal service was very touching. There was quite a number of visiting ministers, deacons and members at the communion. At night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ps. 23:1-22. His text was from Exodus 32:25.

Youth Hit By Automobile Dies at Hospital TOMMY WILLIAMS SUFFERED FATAL ACCIDENT CHRISTMAS DAY Was Struck By Automobile At Corner of Liberty and East Broad Streets. Youth Was Visiting City With Relatives Tommy Williams, the twelve year old Negro boy who was struck by an automobile Christmas afternoon at the corner of East Broad and Liberty streets died at Charity Hospital Thursday morning. The accident happened about half past five o'clock and the automobile which struck the youth was being driven by Mr. A. Miles Wilcox. Several friends of Mr. Wilcox also were in the car. The little Williams boy and a companion were in the street and just as the automobile drove up the dead boy attempted to dodge the other and was struck by the car. The injured boy was rushed to Charity Hospital where everything possible was done for him but his injuries were of such a fatal nature that he died the next morning. The dead boy, who was a stranger here was visiting the city during the holidays with relatives. Charity Widely Distributed Christmas. Never before in the history of Savanwas charity distributed so widely among the poor of the city as on last Christmas day. That great preparations were being made to assist the poor of the city was known to many but few realized how broad were the plans laid by the various charitable organizations and public spirited individuals who made a specialty of looking after the needs of the poor. For the first time in the history of the organization in this city the Salvation army gave liberally to the poor Negroes of the city. Scores of destitute families among our people were made happy by their baskets and the Negroes of the city are very thankful to the head of this deserving organization for the work which it has done among the Negro poor this Christmas. Of the individuals who deserve great credit for assisting the poor is Mrs. Smith who for several years has gone among the poor of Yamacraw carrying happiness to them during the yuletide season. This year, as last, her work was the means of reaching hundreds of destitute persons and many have been the words of praise uttered about the good which she has done. Death. Mrs. Anna Brown, 547 Jones street, east, adopted daughter of Mrs Rachael Moore, died Monday afternoon December 23rd, at her residence. She is survived by a husband and four children. She was buried Wednesday, 4 o'clock. Rev. Solomon Walker died December 11th at his home, Belmount, Ga., at the age of 78 years. He was one of the oldest ministers of the gospel in the city and a loyal and well known citizen. He was highly respected by both white and colored citizens. He was buried from the First African Baptist church, Bolton street, Sunday December 15th and his funeral was largely attended. He leaves to mourn his death, one sister, Mrs. Mary Young of Augusta, Ga., one brother, Rev. Matthew Walker of Cordele, Ga., one daughter, Mrs. L. A Newton, two sons, Mr. Matthew Walker and Mr. Jos. H. Walker, one grandson, Master Jos. Waters and a host of relatives and friends. St. Stephen's Episcopal Church Harris and Habersham Streets.

It is hoped that during the year the grandeur of Masonry will be more largely revealed, its principle more readily inculcated and each one of us be made better. Let us all redouble our efforts for the upbuilding of Masonry and our Lodges. Brethren who keep their own pocket books closely tiled are sometimes very generous when it comes to performing acts of charity at the expense of the lodge—Masonie Standard. When you are working in the interest of Masonry you are bettering the condition of society in the vicinity in which you live. Masonry sets an ideal moral standard and obligates its members to live up to it. Some may fail, but the man who remembers his obligation and is a Mason at heart never will. Yet, it pays to encourage Masonry in more ways than one. Globe. MASONRY AND RELIGION The song "Neener my God to thee," as prescribed and printed in our Masonic manual to be used in the second section of the third degree, is not sectarian. It is one of the noblest and most inspiring of modern songs, and believers in God of whatever race, sect, or denomination may sing it. It is a poetical prayer addressed to God, who is worshipped by all Masons, and no sentiment in it can be construed as violating any religious belief of any Mason. In this respect it is like those psalms of the bible, comforting and elevating all believers in God and His goodness, and in the singing of which all may unite, however divers and diverse their views may be. It is not in any sense doctrinal hymn, but is universal in its application to all who may respond to the praver that our lives may be lived ever nearer and nearer to God, and that the trials and burdens and crosses and darkness of this life, instead of overwhelming us shall but lift us toward Him, the Father of us all.—Selected A TRUE STATEMENT. If only one-half of what is written and published through the medium of the Masonic press about this fraternity could be made to reach the hands of the luke-warm members and read by them, there would be no such thing as an inactive Mason; nor would there be so many communications without conferring any of the degrees. Those whose interest in the order is such that they can be reached by its fraternal press become the workers and carry the responsibilities attached to keeping up lodge enthusiasm. More than one-half of the members of a lodge stay at home and never know anything more about the workings of a lodge than that the dues at the time of their affiliation were so much per year; they would even forget that, were it not for the notices received from the Secretary. To overcome this would be comparitively easy if the publishers of Masonic papers could only afford to send their publications free to every member of the order. But the decidedly unequal distributions of the "root of evil" has with few exceptions, left the fraternal scribes in the lurch. Hence the lodges should help. If the indifferent members were to occasionally receive a copy of some Masonic publication, there is no doubt that in time they would become interested in the cause, and all concerned would thereby be benefitted. Special terms for say ten or twenty copies for this purpose could easily be made, and the Secretary could either mail them to derelict members, or else transmit the addresses to the publisher each month. Lodges should try this.—Exchange. Beth Eden Beth Eden Baptist Church, Gordon and Lincoln streets, Rev. N. M. Clarke, pastor.

NUMBER 15 Celebration of Emancipation NEW ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH TO BE SCENE OF INTERESTING MEETING Parade To Begin Nine o'clock—Many Societies to Be In Line—Interesting Program Arranged—Large Throng Expected—Two Bands Engaged—Uniformed Organization To Parade—Line of March. The fiftieth celebration of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by the immortal Abraham Lincoln will be celebrated in this city on next Wednesday, the first day of January. The celebration will, in all likelihood, be the greatest that the Negroes of this city have held since the last first of January celebration in which the colored state militia took part in 1905, which is still fresh in the memory of our citizens and to which we often refer with much pride. The Emancipation Association together with the Chatham County Emancipation Society has arranged very widely for an appropriate observance of the fiftieth celebration of the freedom of the Negro and it gives promise of being very commendable. The Rev E. D. Giddens, one of the Presiding Elders of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has been selected to be the speaker of the day at the Emancipation exercises which will be held at the new St. Philip Church, West Broad and Charles street. At nine o'clock on the morning of the celebration the societies of the west side of the city, the ministers and other individuals who will participate in the parade and exercises will assemble at West Broad and Gwinnett streets. Headed by a brass band, the first part of the parade will then move south on West Broad street to Henry, then East on Henry to East Broad, thence north to Liberty where the Uniform Ranks and the members of the Chatham County Emancipation Society will join the procession. The parade will then continue north on East Broad to Bay street, thence west to Drayton, south on Drayton to Broughton, west to West Broad. North to Indian, west to Fahm, south to Hull, east to West Broad and then south on West Broad to the church where the exercises will be held. The parade will be one of the largest in recent years; being composed of many of the leading social and fraternal organizations of the city, very nearly all the ministers and many other prominent individuals. Among the occupants of the many carriages that will be in line will be many ladies whose presence will lend much inspiration to the occasion. There will be three marshals in charge of the parade, chief of whom will be Rev. W. A. Daughtry. One of the features of the display this year will be the appearance of the several uniformed ranks and their presence will give a decided military bearing to the parade. At the exercises at the church the Reverend L. A. Townsley, pastor of St. Philip Monumental Church, will act as master of ceremonies. The following is the program to be rendered: Anthem, St. Philip Choir Hymn, "My Country 'tis of Thee" Prayer, Rev. D. Augustine Reid. D. D. Music, St. Philip Choir Introductory Remarks, Master of Ceremonies Paper, "Our Fifteenth Anniversary," Miss V. O. Sheiman Quartette, Glee Club, Georgia State College Reading Proclamation, Mr. J. H Butler Benediction, Rev. J. S. Irby Executive Committee-Revs. W. L. Jones, D. D.; W. V. Daughtry, D. A. Reid, D. D., M. PRESIDENT TAFT ACCEPTS POSITION Will Become a Lecturer on Law at Yale. TAKE UP DUTIES IN SPRING. President Will Not Be Restricted Merely To Lectures To Yale Students, But Will Be Free To Serve Other Schools. Washington.—President Taft has made up his mind to accept the proffer of the Kent professorship of law at Yale, and probably will take up his duties at New Haven early in the spring. The President was said to have determined upon accepting the Yale professorship for several reasons. He will not be restricted merely to lectures to Yale students, but will be permitted to lecture, if he desires, in other law schools or upon the platform, or to engage in any other occupation which he sees fit. If the President had returned to Cincinnati to resume law practice he felt that he would have but little opportunity for practice. He felt that he could not appear in cases before the United States-Supreme Court because he has appointed a majority of its membership. He remembered when he thought of the law that he had named many Federal judges in Ohio before whom he might have to argue cases, and he believed that about the only sort of practice which he could take up would be international, and that he regards as uncertain. W. H. PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. TAFT. At Yale the President will be in surroundings dear to him, and will be in a position to engage in almost any sort of business, in which he believes an ex-President can fittingly engage. The analogy between the Yale professorship and Grover Cleveland's relation with Princeton appealed to Mr. Taft strongly, and when many of his close friends and advisers wrote to him approving his acceptance of the chair at Yale he decided to take it. The President expects to spend several weeks after March 4 in Augusta, Ga., where he has many friends and has passed two winter vacations. Very Glad At Yale. New Haven, Conn.-The news that President Taft has made up his mind to accept the Kent professorship of law at Yale was received with keen pleasure in Yale circles here. President Arthur T. Hadley said he was "very glad" the President had made the decision and Dean Henry Wade Rogers, of the Yale Law School, said he was delighted. Frustrated By Discovery Of the Plans Two Weeks Ago. Denver, Col.-A plot to dynamite the Denver Mint, where approximately $500,000,000 is stored, was frustrated by the discovery of the plans two weeks ago on the floor of the Public Comfort Station, near the Federal Building. WOMAN JURY CONVICTS. Missouri Suffragists Prepare Function In Good Style. St. Louis.—Clay county's first woman jury, in Justice Guy R. Martin's court, found a Mexican laborer, who had been caught with stolen shoes and other articles, guilty of receiving stolen goods. He was sent to jail for 30 days. PASS BURNETT BILL Literacy Test Immigration Bill Favored By House. Washington.-The House passed the Burnett Literacy Test Immigration Bill, 178 to 52. The measure, a substitute for the Senate Dillingham bill, would bar from the United States immigrants over 16 years old unable to read, except those proving to have emigrated on account of religious persecution at home. ETTHER "Good-Bye; Sea You New Year's." CRISIS IN MEXICAN AFFAIRS Uncle Sam Tired of Madero's Evasive Atttiude. TAFT ACQUAINTS WILSON. Mexican Murderers of Americans Must Be Punished and Indemnity Given For the Loss Of American Life and Property. Washington.—The United States is on the verge of occupying Mexico, according to latest reports. Stirred by the defiant and evasive attitude of President Madero toward demands by the United States that Mexican murderers of Americans be punished and that indemnity be given for the loss of American life and property. President Taft, it is understood, sent an ultimatum to Madero under which he must act or suffer the downfall of his government. The battleships Minnesota, Kansas, South Carolina and Michigan were recently sent to Mexican waters in the hope that Madero and his advisers might be brought to their senses. While ostensibly on the way back to Hampton Roads, they will be kept ready for action. The crisis with Mexico has come at the end of a series of diplomatic exchanges between this government and Mexico which taxed the patience of President Taft and Secretary of State Knox. The conclusion has been forced that the Madero government is hopelessly impotent and that the time has come when the United States will cease temporizing with the situation. It is understood that Mr. Taft has taken steps to acquaint President-elect Wilson with the situation in order that plans may be shaped to harmonize with the views of the incoming president. According to the present plan, if by the time President Taft returns from Panama, Madero has not given a satisfactory response to the American ultimatum the case of Mexico will be placed before Congress with the request that the President be authorized to enforce the demands of the United States. The steps proposed by the President and the State Department to enforce redress are as follows: First—The ultimatum to Mexico. Second—The dropping of the neutrality bars between the United States and Mexico, thus enabling the revolutionists to secure arms and forcing the downfall of Madero from within. Third—The blockading of the ports of Mexico and the seizure of a portion of Mexican territory. The attitude of Madero has been such that the President for a time considered taking immediate action without sending further dilpomatic exchanges to the Mexican government. It was finally concluded to give Madero one more opportunity. The move against Mexico was agreed upon by President Taft, Secretary of State Knox and Henry Lane Wilson, American ambassador to Mexico, after a series of conferences held during the last few days. AUSTRIA'S BIG ARMY BILL. Spending $800,000 a Day For the Mobilization.

Amount Is Needed For Protection Of Life and Property.

The resolution would authorize the commissioners to make special regulations for maintenance of order, fixing of fares of public vehicles and their movements; would provide $2,000 for erection of information booths and other arrangements for the inaugural crowds, and would penalize any persons violating the inaugural regulations by a maximum fine of $100 or a workhouse imprisonment of 60 days SEE RELEASED FROM JAIL.

Just a Small Interest That Doesn't Need Watching, He Remarks When Asked About Bank Share Holding. Washington.-J. Pierpont Morgan told the Money Trust investigating committee of the House that "all the money in Christendom and all the banks in Christendom" could not form a manopoly that would control money. He disclaimed any knowledge that he wielded a vast power in modern finance and declared emphatically that he sought no such power. For nearly five hours the chief witness called by the committee in its probe of the intricacies of modern finance stood a running fire of questions that covered every phase of financial operation. In some respects it was one of the most remarkable hearings about the halls of Congress in recent years, with Mr. Morgan as the type and embodiment of financial operations on a colossal scale and the committee's counsel, Samuel Untermyer, the representative of the element which seeks to lay bare to the innermost recesses the conditions under which vast financial operations are conducted. [Pictorial portrait of a man with a mustache and a suit. The background is plain white.]] Mr Morgan gave at length his views on competition, combination, co-operation and control in industry and finance, particularly the latter. He declared that he "did not mind competition," but that he preferred "combination" in his operations. He was emphatic in his declaration that there is no way in which one man can get a monopoly of money. Throughout the long examination to which Mr. Morgan submitted with an evident willingness to answer, there was not a moment when interest lagged. Short, sharp questions and answers came with striking rapidity. While the colloquy was at times emphatic, there was no serious clash between Mr. Morgan and Mr.' Untermyer. Mr. Morgan gave a ready response to questions, although there was often a battle of wits as to the meaning and effect of various financial conditions and operations. ROSENTHAL SLAYERS GET STAY.

Cananea, Mexico.—Seven hundred and fifty miners struck for more pay and shorter hours at the mines of the Cananea and Democrata companies. They demand a 25-cent increase in daily wages and an eight-hour day. Officials have assured American Consul Frederick Simplich they will be able to curb any outbreaks. Prior to 1899 Mrs. Frederick Schof Philadelphia, known as "the wom- s, Frederick Schofnown as "the woman Judge' Lindsey" of Pennsylvania, and the originator of the juvenile court movement, had never even thought of a public career. Today she is the president of the National Congress of Mothers, and the acknowledged leader of 70,000 American mothers; one of the an Judge 'Linsey" of Pennsylvania, and the originator of the juvenile court movement, had never even thought of a public career. Today she is the president of the National Congress of Mothers, and the acknowledged leader of 70,000 American mothers; one of the largest organizations of the kind the world has ever known. According to Mrs. Schoff's theory "there are no bad children, only bad parents, bad guardians, and evil surroundings," she says: "If the child is bad, the parents are the real criminals, and if we cannot teach them to bring children into the world properly, to nurture them properly and to train them properly, we had better punish the parents when the child does wrong." The child's wrong doing can usually be traced to the ignorance and neglect of the parents, and she believes in order to remedy this and to bring the children up into healthy, happy and useful citizens, that it is necessary to better the condition of the parents. The incentive that led to Mrs. Schofw becoming the champion of unfortunate children occurred one May morning a little more than a decade ago, as she sat reading the morning newspaper in the library of her luxurious home in Philadelphia, when the startling headlines on the first page, "A Prodigy Crime" caught her attention and, she became interested in an account of how an eight-year-old child had deliberately set fire to the house in which she lived, burning it to the ground. The child was arrested, brought before the presiding judge, and as the girl herself admitted she had started the fire "to see the fire burn and the engines run," she was sentenced to the reformatory. It was found on investigation that the little girl had been left an orphan at the age of two years and placed in a home, but recently had been sent to a city boarding house, where she was acting as helper and general household drudge. Ler onl; companions being ignorant servants. Many a mother in that "City of Brotherly Love," who read those staring headlines, though justly shocked at the seeming deprivacy of the little waif, felt also a thrill of pity for her; for there were mothers who had not forgotten the day their little girl had started a fire out of similar curiosity, or "just for fun;" however, the paper was laid aside, and the newspaper phrase which has been the means of redeeming thousands and thousands of juvenile offenders against the law was soon forgotten by all but one great-hearted woman, whose eyes followed her own three little daughters as they played about the room. What if it had been one of them! Her heart went out to that motherless child, and within an hour she was remonstrating with the bewildered judge, who declared he had no other place to send her. This made Mrs. Schoff more determined than ever to rescue the child, and to learn more of the law that branded little children as criminals and send them to reformatories. Horrified at the existing system of handling juvenile criminals, she immediately began the work of investigating the local conditions. Her efforts, after ten years work, resulted in the establishment in Philadelphia last June of the first juvenile court in Pennsylvania. For no less than seventeen years Miss Henry has been a member of the Newbury (England) Rural District Council. Every man or woman voter in that country will be called upon to elect members for the rural district councils next March, and, in the opinion of Miss Henry, it is of the utmost importance that an increased number PETER H. HARRIS of women should stand for election. At present, out of about sixteen thousand councillors, only one hundred and thirty-four are women, and during the last seventeen years the number of women serving on rural district councils has somewhat diminished. There are many matters to do with the workhouses, the hospitals, the housing and the care of children of a district that only a woman can fully understand. Although the time she has devoted to her work has meant giving up much of her social life, Miss Henry finds it so fascinating that she does not regret this. Miss Henry was only a girl when she was first elected. After living five months with a broken neck, Harold Million of St. Joseph, Mo., succumbed to Bright's disease. He suffered his injuries at Guide Rock, Neb., June 30 last, when he dived into shallow water in the Republic river. For a time it was believed he would recover, as he partly regained the use of his arms and legs, which were paralyzed when he was first hurt. of all nations—be a harsh name for them—are hard at work throughout the world. They wear frock coats and stovepipe hats and are received hospitably wherever they go. Governments welcome them. Manufacturers and bankers freely talk to them and often entertain them at their homes. Business spies of all nations—though spies may be a harsh name for them—are hard at work throughout the world. They wear frock coats and stovepipe hats and are received hospitably wherever they go. Governments welcome them. Manufacturers and bankers freely talk to them and often entertain them at their homes. Were they spies in a war of arms, instead of a war for money, they would be shot as soon as found. If they learn of a valuable trade process, they are likely to lay hands upon it and send it home. Some of them will enter factories and buy blueprints of new machines from mercenary employees if any such faithless workmen happen to be around. They watch new buildings for hints in construction and study tariffs and the rates of land and water transportation. German spies—able and technical men, speakikng English and making no secret of their activities—are posted in every part of the United States. Many cities, having the trade scouts of foreign countries right in the thick of their own affairs, often overlook them, unless there is a monument to Kossuth or Rochambeau to be unveiled, or the British-Americans hold a union with Caledonian games, or the "Wacht am Rhein" is sung at a festival of merry and unforgetful Teutons. At the same time American spies overrun the earth in all directions. Once they were big-voiced politicians uttering ready and maybe shady recollections of state and national conventions and voicing boasts of their intimate relations with senators, governors and judges. Nowadays, however, the words, "American consul," stand for something very much better than loud eloquence on the stump or party diligence in wards and precincts. Then there are special and extraordinary spies, or commercial agents, as they are called, with roving commissions, who travel the globe in a search for facts and the guarded discoveries of industry and applied chemistry In a sense, Albertus H. Baldwin is captain of the spies, common and uncommon, stationary or itinerary. The consuls, officially, are employees of the department of state. Mr. Baldwin, however, is permitted to call on them for information, and copies of their trade reports go over his desk. So they are auxillaries to his own staff, which numbers more than eighty men. Moreover, under a new law, he is to observe and help domestic trade within the United States—to keep tabs on sales here and abroad and to promote all kinds of business whenever and wherever he can. JOE CANNON'S SUCCESSOR WAS BORN IN LOG CABIN Frank T. O'Hair, who defeated former Speaker Joseph Cannon for congressman, was born 42 years ago in a log cabin in a remote section of Edgar county of humble Irish parentage, and spent his boyhood days on a farm. After graduating from the common schools he entered Purdue university, where he took the law course. Returning gressman, w a s born 42 years ago in a log cabin in a remote section of Edgar county of humble Irish parentage, and spent his boyhood days on a farm. After graduating from the common schools he entered Purdue university, where he took the law course. Returning to Paris, he hung out his shingle and by sheer force of character and ability has won a place among the best lawyers of eastern Illinois and western Indiana. Encouraged by the results of the congressional election of two years ago and the disturbance in the Republican party last spring, leading Democrats of the district determined to forestall the Cannon program by nominating a candidate strong enough to attract the support of the whole party and attract those Republicans who wanted Cannon defeated. Announcing himself as a progressive Democrat with no strings tied to him, O'Hair went forth on a "get acquainted" tour of the district and amazed old campaigners with the instant success that he met everywhere, Attired in an old suit of clothes and a slouch hat, with good cigars bulging from every pocket, he visited every village, town and crossroads community in the district. This meeting of the voters at their homes, coupled with his unassuming and friendly manner and a ready command of the homely stories that appeal to the rural people, was something new. While "Uncle Joe" was stumping the district on a special train accompanied by a lot of other candidates, O'Hair was helping the farmers stack and thresh their grain, or was admiring their stock while pleading for their support. A postal card written by E. H. Aldrich, a business man of Bloomington, Ill., from the Columbian Exposition grounds during the world's fair in Chicago on October 12, 1893, to H. S. Curdy, a friend in Bloomington, was not received by Mr. Curdy until this week. No explanation of the long delay was made.

To Feed Poor of Quaker City Never-Ending Job. Bread Line in Rush of City Traffic Never Lacks Waiting Applicants in Any Sort of Weather—Presided Over by Women. Philadelphia.—It is bleak, sunless, numbing day under the Filbert street arch of the Reading Terminal. even at high noon, the damp air strikes to the bone, the light is that of 5 in the evening. By the constant hurrying procession of people through the spectral arc-lamped blue-gray dusk you know it is Saturday. Before a rude little booth, temporarily erected against the brick wall on the south side of Filbert street, a woman with fine, soft, appealing eyes sits on a box, a glass bowl on her knees. In the hurrying crowd many a man stops a moment to drop a few pennies in that glass bowl, fumbling with cold fingers at the buttons of his coat. And for each from the woman with the gentle eyes there is a grateful nod. Behind her in the booth are some stacks of bread and piles of potatoes. Another woman, with the air of an institution matron, is briskly working among them, sorting and measuring In the damp and chill and clamping grayness, against the discolored background of brick and stone, under the dim iron girders, these women are not depressed. The dull echoing reverberation of city traffic fills the air. The leaden December dusk closes in all about. The endless files of shadowy Dantesque figures shuffle by. The edges of all animate and inanimate things are sharp to the touch. But the soft-eyed woman and her companions stand proof against it all. They have warm coats and well-nourished bodies, do you say? Even so—it is not enough, the gloom here is spiritual. They must have warm hearts, warm minds, warm souls. The crude little booth inclosing the bread and potatoes leans against the wall. Then, beginning flush at the eastern edge of it, also along the wall, ranges a line—a line of still other women. But these are different. They have no warm coats. One characteristic garment does distinguish them. They are "the women with the shawls." There is a slight ledge cut into the bottom of the wall of gray masonry—a little escarpment; and here, in their ragged line, with baskets or children in their laps, and their shawls high about their ears or wholly over their heads, these other women squat. And here is no talk of warm hearts or warm minds or warm souls. But hunger is always left. And so there are the gentle-eyed women in the warm coats, and the other women with the baskets and the children and the shawls. Twice a week they are both here, in the grim city tunnel; and have been here twice a week these four years past. Wednesday and Saturday are the two big weekly days, and then there are annual holidays, when really grand things occur. But winter or summer, the line is there. Not too many questions are asked. Not too much gratitude is expected. Twice a week women with baskets—old women, young women, with children, women without—simply come to this City Relief stand and have their baskets filled. MINNESOTAN FASTS 105 DAYS Forsman of Bovey Makes Astounding Record in Effort to Cure Disease. Portland, Ore.—What is believed to be the longest food fast ever undertaken in the west has reached its 105th day by Gustavus Forsman of Bovey, Minn., who has started the long privation test in an effort to recover his health. Forsman is a working man and small merchant of Bovey. He was advised to seek a cure for Bright's disease, complicated with asthma and dropsy, on the coast, where it was believed his life could be prolonged. On arrival in Portland he held several consultations and was offered no encouraging remedies and undertook the fast practically of his own volition. At a sanatorium he explained his disease and arranged to make his test. For sixty-six days Forsman took only water. He lost more than twenty-five pounds of flesh in that time and was very weak. On recommendation of the manager he then took a small amount of grape juice and began the second lap of his fast, which has reached its thirty-ninth day. Within a day or two he will begin to take nourishment and attempt to recover his health. He says he has lost all trace of the disease from which he suffered, although he will not know how successful his test is until he begins to eat again. He tells how clear his mind was after the twentieth fast day until he became physically too weak to exert it. He has lost his dropsical appearance entirely. Hardware In Steer's Stomach Moorehead, W. Va.—These articles were found in the stomach of a slaughtered steer: A bottle of pills, two keys, a penny, a collar button, an iron washer, a cartridge, 16 nails, a pen knife, some marbles, a part of a set of false teeth, spoons, chunks of iron, some glasses, screws, a comb and part of a mirror. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There are now many agencies in the south trying to find a way to help the negro get a larger share of the fruits of his toll, and to enable him to live his life more abundantly and in better accord with the southern white man. Not one of them is so revolutionary, considering the history of the south's attitude toward this question—the so-called "Negro Problem"—and perhaps none holds more promise, than the concerted efforts of hundreds of earnest students in southern colleges and universities who, on their own initiative have set about studying the matter in such manner as, a few years ago, would have been thought the idea of a dreamer. A striking point is that, whereas nearly every substantial effort heretofore in this field has been directed, and, largely true even now, supported by public-spirited people of the north, at this time the scholarship of the south is directed with almost solemn intensity, first to an awakening of the southern white people to their opportunity and duty, and, second, to a practical examination of the conditions which are believed to be responsible for the failure of the negro to attain what he hopes for and what is desired for him. The most encouraging consideration is the fact that the south itself is investigating the trouble and trying to find the remedy as it has never done before. This would seem to justify a statement of a prominent southern educator recently. He said that whatever was done to help the negro would have to be with the sympathy and co-operation of southern white men, for without such sympathy and co-operation nothing that was done would be of permanent value. With the best minds and character in southern institutions of learning enlisted in the work, he said, there was good reason to believe that condition would speedily change for the better.—New York Evening Post. One of the great hindrances to the progress of the black man's fraternal societies is that they elect to membership some men and women whom they wouldn't have the nerve to invite into their homes and introduce to their wives and families.—The Seattle Searchlight. That the colored brother has made blunders in his management of his fraternal organizations is undeniable. His blunders are due partly to his ignorance and largely to the exigencies of the circumstances surrounding him. I doubt whether the original founders of secret orders among us expected them to be strictly social in their functions, maintaining well defined lines of social demarcation. Of course it is rather discouraging to have your wife or daughter associate with the "soiled doves" of society in these fraternal organizations. But the insurance features in these organizations must be maintained, and hence the necessity of blinking at some things that seem inappropriate. The fraternal organizations, however, are no greater sinners in this respect than are negro churches, and the former have more excuses for dereliction in this respect than have the latter. But the disease is working its own cure. Hundreds are joining organizations where meetings and consequent loss of time and undesirable associates are unnecessary. Dallas Express. A big white man is big for the white race. The average big nigger, not negro—well he is—nothing for his race.—Dallas Express. Macon county, Ala., is said to have a larger area of land held by negroes than any other county in the south. In 1910 negroes owned 61,689 acres in Macon. In Liberty county, Ga., the next largest in negro land holdings, the area was 55,048, while in Louisa county, Va., the third county in this respect, the colored population owned 53,268 acres. In Macon county there is no race problem—the negro population, through the industrial education of Tuskegee, has become self-reliant. The county has 57 colored public schools. No matter how forsaken one may be, he has always enough friends to keep him posted as to his rival's good fortune. True success can never be counted by material enumeration—but that's the kind that doesn't seek to be counted. Envy and malice are twins, but even working in double team they are unsuccessful against good without alloy. Some folks' brains work like ninetyhorse power, others like the wings of a lark. Grounds for complaint are found in the bottom of the boarding house coffee cups. When a man casts his bread upon waters he expects it to come back buttered. Success has never killed a man, though worry to attain it has murdered its thousands. A city-wide campaign to raise $25,000 among the men and women of the race toward a $100,000 fund for a new building for the Colored Young Men's Christian association opened in Baltimore. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has promised to give $25,000 and the local white Y. M. C. A. the remaining $50,000. The campaign is in charge of International Secretary J. E. Moorland, who has conducted successful campaigns for new buildings for the race in a number of cities. The work of raising the $25,000 is apportioned among ten captains, each of whom has ten men under him. The captains are T. A. Date, Walter S. Emerson, Dr. T. S. Hawkins, Dr. Albert O. Reid, W. T. Greenwood, Glendford Pennington, Dr. T. S. Hawkins, Thomas J. Smith, Dr. J. C. Robinson and Samuel E. Young. James A. B. Callis, Dr. Howard E. Young, John H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American Ledger; Joseph Gurner of the Baltimore Times; James W. Hughes, the Rev. W. Edward Williams, E. Bernard Taylor, George S. White and W. F. De Bardeleben, general secretary of the local association, are among others active in the campaign. The Colored Y. M. C. A. is nearly twenty years old and is at present housed at 1619 Drudu Hill avenue. A demonstration of Brown's wave and gravity motor was held at Young's hall in Baltimore. The machine is the invention of Frank Brown, who says that it will eliminate the use of coal, reduce the cost of labor and do away with expensive electrical energy. The invention is designed to be placed in the ocean where the receding and incoming waves and the force of gravity produce motion and in turn produce electrical energy. It is claimed that the current generated by this machine can be used for lighting, for moving trains and for running machines several hundred miles from any given point where one of these motors may be placed. The motor is designed to rest on a base of reinforced concrete, fortified against climatic changes. A series of buoys are used to make the motor steady and regular. The Atlantic Perfected Motor company, incorporated under the laws of New Jersey, with an authorized capital of $250,000, has been organized to manufacture Mr. Brown's invention. The promoters say they expect to begin operations next spring. The world has taught the negro that to be born humble is his inheritance. It has also taught him that on the foundation of poverty he must build his structure of life, his future hopes and aspirations are met with misfortune and deprivations, but he has been unmindful of the great commotion of all, and has placed his foot firm on the ladder that leads to a higher plane of life and is struggling to reach the goal of perfect manhood.—Seattle Searchlight. A girl expects to be perfectly happy when married because she has had no experience. There are people too sensible to confess to success because they have a snug bank account. The highest successes of the mind, no man knows until he scorns success. The man who can only work when he feels like it, may be a genius; but it's the one who is ready, to go to work when some one else needs him, who will succeed. Serving one person only never brings success. The "pot boiler" is usually what might be described as a "hashy" piece of work. The man who withholds any idea or service that might benefit mankind, is as bad as the miser who hoards his gold. The failures which begin by little successes are the most hopeless of all. Successful results often mean a world of effort. Too often men confuse enterprise with endeavor—the last always holds perfect perspective. No man is above success which brings him wealth of human appreciation and human love. A reformer may be willing to supply the pattern if somebody else will do the work. How we do enjoy working at things that don't need to be done! Most failures are some one's lack of confidence formed into a reality. Lots of things come to the man who waits until he doesn't want them. A fool's grin is indicative of his mind. Che Savannah Cribune, Established 1875 By JOHN H. DEVEAUX Published b: , SOL. C.

As is onr custom I'he Tribune extends to its rezders a happy and prosperous New Year. The faithful and conscientious work of the score or more kine hearted women who assisted the Negro Civic Improvement League in preparing and distributing its Christmas baskets deserve more than passing notice by the colored citizens of our city. These ladies contributed to the success of thu: day as only women of a kind and tender nature could, and not a one of thom grew weary of the ardu- ous task which took all their time up toa late hour in the after- nooa. Their work on last Christ- nias day was one of real service and sacrifice and we should feel proudof them. Did we say Christ- mas day? Yes, but thisis not all ‘They were engaged at this task for several days prior to the day of distribution of the gifts. It was they to whom the work of finding the deserving among the poor fell Tt was they who went xbout from house to house seeking those who most needed the help of charity. It was they who, in fact, made it possible for the baskets of food stuf, clothing and toys to reach thoso for whom they were gotton vogetiter. ft avas the first oppor- mrity that our women, to any wrent extent, had to show their willingness and ability tu do work of charity along this line and how well they did their work can best ve attested by the hundreds of des: Uitute families in whose homes they carvied sunshine and happi- ness on last Wednesday. As was expressed by one of this band of volunteersin the work of assisting the poor, “this was the only genu- ine happiness that we have gotten for years,” so did each and eyery one of them feel ancut their yyork and the Negroes of the city, in! venenel, ate greatly indebted to! them for their sacrificing ana well deserying work. They might have remained at home and en- joyed ina way U.c pleasures of the day. but they elected to otherwise ‘spend their time. May not the next Christinas day brine forth the opportunity for many others of our women to join in the worl of giving cheer tu the sick. food so the hungry, clothes tu the naked and teys to vhe unfortunate child- Pen “cater us, * . Net inthe twenrty--is years of our ,oxistener have we ever been guilty of neglecting ar opportuni- th to advacaie the cause of the Ne- ero business man. It has always been our pleasurable duty to use our colunins in sppprtof hun and tourge our people to sive him their instanted- patronage. During the past Christinas we have seen.myuch to cur regret, many wasted oppor- tanittes that our people have had to do their shopping among their own merchants, We do not wish to think that this«was purposely clone bub rether that it was an oversight. Nevertheless, such is the case and, to be consistent with our past policy, we feel it encum- bent upon us to speak of it. We helieve that every Negro should patronize the reputable husiness men of the race for in their suc- cess and in the establishment of other business enterprises we see the future development of the race. If we are to be self-sup- porting we must have our own busiaess houses to give employ- ment to our boys and girls and un- less we patronize those that are al- ready among us there will not be that incentive for greater develop- ment along commercial lines which is essential to the success of great- er business establishments. All during Christmas day until mid- night we observed little Negro children spending their pennics in scores of stores run by another race fur articles which were also being sold by Negroes within their very sight. [tis not the children’s fauit. ‘They generally go where the parents trade and thus they; were simply falling in the wake of | the ulder folk They are young and Mreiz litde minds are just in the process of deselopment.

Benjamin Franklin's Idea Started Custom—While in England as Agent for Pennsylvania He Sent Home Silkworm Eggs. Washington—Every time the suggestion is made in congress that Uncle Sam should not distribute seeds, a huge protest is raised in every corner of the land. It comes from the city as well as the farm, and no lawmaker who values his job has the temerity to go beyond making the suggestion that the government practice of distributing seeds shall be curtailed. The country demands free seed. The present plan of seed distribution had its origin back in 1743. In that year the British parliament granted $600,000 to promote the cultivation of indigo and other crops in the American colonies, and the assemblies of various colonies appropriated small sums from time to time to encourage the cultivation of plants new to this country, such as hops, mulberry trees and vineyards for the establishment of an American wine industry. Benjamin Franklin, while in England, as agent for Pennsylvania, sent home silkworm eggs and mulberry cuttings. In the five years that he represented this country as minister to France Thomas Jefferson forwarded many samples of grasses, rice, peppers and olives to correspondents at home. Other representatives of this government in the early days followed the example of Franklin and Jefferson, until, during the administration of John Quincy Adams, instructions were given to all United States consuls to forward rare plants and seeds to Washington for distribution. A botanical garden was later established in Washington in which were grown many of the rare and interesting plants imported from foreign countries. Despite these efforts to introduce new seeds and plants, many varieties of fruits and vegetables with which everybody-is now familiar were scarce or unknown in this country in the early part of the nineteenth century. There were few seed farms, nurseries or seedsmen. Seeds were mostly grown by the farmers themselves and there was no improvement from year to year. Interest in better seeds and in securing new seeds and plants resulted largely from the agricultural fairs inaugurated by the various societies for "promoting agriculture," which were organized at Charleston, New York, Philadelphia, Doston and Washington. In 1879, through the efforts of Henry L. Ellsworth, commissioner of patients, an appropriation of $1,000 was made for the purpose of collecting and distributing seeds, prosecuting agricultural investigations and procuring agricultural statistics. With the appropriation 30,000 packages of seeds were purchased and distributed. This appropriation marked the beginning of the present department of agriculture. Appropriations for seed purchase and distribution continued to increase as the practice gained in popularity with the people, until congress itself finally took a hand in passing the seed around. Under the system that now prevails each member of the senate and the house has a quota of 20,000 packages of vegetables and 2,000 packages of flower seed, each package being made up to five packages containing different kinds of seed. In this year 51,133,240 packets of vegetable and 12,226,315 packets of flower seed, or a total of 63,364,554 packets, were sent out. The total weight of vegetable and flower seeds sent out was 994,116 pounds, or over 597 tons—enough to fill 20 freight cars. In addition, there were distributed thousands of packages of grass seed, and plants and vines of various kinds. The job of purchasing, testing, apportioning and distributing government seed is a big job. All seeds are purchased through competitive bids. The quotations are opened and listed in the presence of bidders and officials of the department of agriculture. In awarding contracts the officials disregard varieties unsuitable for distribution, as well as bids of growers or dealers who in the past have failed to carry out their contracts satisfactorily. The seed purchased is subjected to thorough scientific tests. When a consignment of seed is received at the department of agriculture warehouse a small portion is taken from the middle and near the top and bottom, of at least one-fourth of all the bags, and thoroughly mixed, to make a composite sample, which is sent to the seed laboratory. From the sample 100 or 200 seeds are counted out and placed between moist blotters in a germinating chamber, which is really an incubator fitted with automatic devices for keeping the blotters moist and for regulating the temperature to suit the requirements of different kinds of seeds. INDIANS GREW COTTON. The origin, growth and development of the cotton industry in the United States has received much attention from historians, ethnologists and statisticians. Much interest has been manifested in the identity and description of the varieties which formed the foundation of the American upland cotton, but only recently has there been a systematic study and analysis of the types of plants which make up the field crops today, with a view of accomplish this object. The fact that cotton was used and of necessity cultivated by the Indians, is recorded by several early Spanish explorers, as it has been more recently by many ethnologists. In the villages of the cliff-wellers of Mesa Verde National park numerous fragments of cotton cloth have been unearthed, and in Utah the seeds of the plant itself have been found. Today, among the Hopi Indians of Artzona, the cotton plant is highly esteemed, and its fiber enters into many of their ceremonies, as well as into many practical household activities. Unfortunately the native Hopis, once deft in the art of weaving blankets, mantles, rugs and other articles from cotton, now find it far easier to purchase the yarn already spun, the clothi already woven, or the complete garment, and thus the art is gradually being lost. Cotton is still cultivated by them, however, to a small extent, in a village in the western Navajo reservation and in another of the Moult. The department of agriculture has carried on experiments with Hopl cotton for the past seven years. This particular species of cotton is remarkable in the rapidity with which it grows and the early date at which it blooms, it being the earliest to blossom of several hundred species put to test. PENSION LIST GROWS SMALLER. There are now on the government's pension roll 528,000 soldiers and sailors, 212,932 dependents and widows, and 262 army nurses, according to the annual report of the pension bureau, just made public. These include 497,263 survivors of the Civil war, and 235 widows of the war of 1812. To provide for all of them this year, $111,558,141 has been appropriated, a detrence of $3,276,096 from last year. It is estimated that there were 2,213,365 individuals in the military and naval service in the United States during the Civil war, and that upwards of 75 per cent of them are now dead. The report predicts that the abolishment of the pension agencies, effective Jan. 31, 1913, and the payment of all pensions direct from the pension bureau, will result in a more efficient and economical administration, avoiding duplication of work and saving expense. The total number of pensioners, under general pension laws, is 838,210, their pensions aggregating $144,973,569, and under special acts of congress 22,084, aggregating $6,584,572 annually. From the foundation of the government to June 30 last, the United States paid $4,383,368,164 in pensions to soldiers, sailors and marines, their widows, minor children and dependent relatives, on account of military and naval service in the various wars and in regular service. PAJAMAS IN THE NAVY. Official orders for the wearing of pajamas are issued at the navy department the other day in a circular describing the dress of enlisted men of the navy. Henceforth, all enlisted men will be required to add two suits of pajamas to their equipment on board ship. The pajamas are to be of white drill. Marines also are to be pajama-clad hereafter, the orders issued affecting the men in this service. Heretofore men in the navy and marine corps have been left to their own devices as to what they should wear or not wear at night. Only patients in the hospitals or sick bays have been enjoying pajamas. Among other changes in the uniform dress of the bluejackets is the addition of a non-elastic chin cord to the familiar "pancake" sailor hat. TO ENGRAVE EXECUTIVES-ELECT The bureau of engraving and printing already is preparing to engrave likenesses of Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R. Marshall for the archives of the nation. Secretary MacVeagh of the treasury department requested the president-elect and the vice-president-elect to furnish copies of their favorite portraits, from which the bureau will make engravings. Governor Marshall's picture was received the other day. The likeness of every president and vice-president of the United States has been reproduced on an engraved plate by the bureau of engraving and printing. The engravings of presidents Roosevelt and Taft are considered masterpieces by the bureau. NEW NICKEL SOON READY. The design of the new nickel to supplant the five-cent coin now in circulation will be perfected by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh within a few weeks. George E. Roberts, director of the mint, and J. E. Fraser, of New York, an artist who is working on the design, conferred with the secretary today. An Indian head will adorn the face of the coin and the figure of a buffalo the reverse. The design is intended to honor the disappearing Indians and buffalo, linked together in American history. GOOD PRESCRIPTION. Juvenile Court Judge David Lacey prescribed wash-tub exercise for a college graduate who was "too tired" to find work and support his wife and child. IN PARISIAN FAVOR Latest Fads of Fashion of the Gay Capital. Tight-Fittling Gowns Hold Their Place In Popular Esteem—Distinctive Boleros Are a Feature of the Present Season. PARIS. France.—Two yards is the precise measurement about the hem of the latest tailored skirts. These, however, continue tight-fitting about the hips and widen gradually from the knees downward. Made of the ever-fashionable serge, they are much affected by Parisiennes and are worn by them with Louis XIII velvet jackets, which elong closely at the high waistline, have a smoothly-fitted basque and incongruous, if practical, tubular long sleeves. In the so-called English tones—sad, dull grays, greens and browns—they are considerably worn, but they look smarter and decidedly more cheerful in Russian blue, bronze green and the three brick. All of these shade are popular in a strong rival of serge, a thick, spongy worsted fabric known as "spongine de laime." These two materials unquestionably have the lead in woolens and have left double faced fabrics and ratlines in the background. Side by side, at Longechamps, with these two-yard-wide tailored skirts in worsted, were seen skirts so narrow below the knees that had they not been slit at front or back their wearers could not possibly have walked, although they might have hobbled un gracefully. Several of these jupons created a real sensation, notably one belonging to a costume in Nattier blue velveteen and which included a typical Russian blouse of knee length and of exceedingly baggy effect about the waistline, where it was held in with a soft silk sash that was loosely knotted at the left of the back. Russian rat, the new pelt, having very close and short hair, resembling the finely striped velvets, bordered the fronts and sleeves of this warmth-promising THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY and thoroughly comfortable looking outer garment, and finishing its neck was a broad and square fur collar which, when up-turned, must reach above the ear-tips. The wearer of this costume looked as though she had casually dropped in to view the races while en route to the czar's dominions, instead of intending to return within the hour to a hotel in the fashionable quarter of Paris. Trained Skirts Again. Trained skirts; long relegated to the background for outdoor service, have again appeared and been promptly adopted by those women who realize their becomingness and grace. On the same that Russian rat practically made it sartorial debut at Long-champs, two bell Americanines appeared there in exceptionally smart costumes having long-trained skirts. One of these costumes consisted of a black velvet skirts, draped from both sides and caught high at the back, from whence the folds fell in a long and slender train; a high-waisted Watteau-backed white broadcloth jacket with a black 'plush shawl' collar that turned broadly over, and a white ostrich plume trimmed black velvet chapeau. The other costume was entirely of "white wine vinegar" silk serge. It had a pannier-draped skirt, slit at the left side from hem to knee and at the back broadening into an immensely long, squared-off train. The Louis XIII, jacket fastened with a single large button of gold set with genuine jewels, had small and pointed revers, rose-embroidered, and the neck was finished with a deep and very full trill of white princess lace. A black velvet hat, one of the largest of this autumn's shapes (and that means much), carried a yard-long white ostrich feather, fluff-topped at both ends, and the black and yellow-white ensemble of this lady's attire was carried out in a stole and large muff of ermine. Distinctive Boléros. Oddly at variance with the Russian blouses, the Louis XIII, jackets and the Watteau-backed coats, are the elbow-sleeved boleros belonging to win- ter costumes of velvet or heavy worsted and expected to keep the upper portion of the body warm. These apologies for jackets have necks deeply V'd at the back as well at the front where they fasten with a single huge self-covered bottom and from there curve toward the underarm seams. This cut-out process exposes a marvelously elaborate blouse as well as a high girdle of richly embroidered Oriental silk, and the gold tinsel threads with which this for the sleeves, yokes and taillers of fabric is embellished are repeated in the deep rings which finish the single sash end. Genuine gold metal is employed for the four oblong buckles through which the girdle is run and which hold it flatly against the waist, bringing its top to the edges of the bolero at back and sides. These very elaborate girdles and sham, blouse-walstcoats are chic on the costumes of dark velvet and broadcloth. They are not always of the Oriental embroidery. Some of them are of brocaded silk or satin and often they are developed in tolle de jouy printed taffets. These silks look especially well with black and if a bolero does not chance to become the figure, the belt and sash without the waistcoat may be worn with a skirted jacket which, however, should have an attachable shawl collar of the printed taffeta. Use of English Crepe. English crepe is an important element in mourning costumes. It is seen as a flat flouncing or as a bordering for the long coats and pelerines which are as much worn on the street as are the regulation skirt and jacket costumes by persons in mournings, and for the sleeves, yokes and tabliers of house gowns. An exceedingly smart mourning costume, seen in an exclusive little ladies' luncheon room, was made up of a plaited skirt of etamine and a bodice of satin-backed crepe. But its notable feature with a broad fichu of etamine bordered with a crepe ruching, which crossed the bust, formed a bolero under the arms and was held in place at the back by crepe-covered rings. This costume was worn by a young English girl who certainly had not seen more than twenty winters, but whose hair was snow-white. The whitening was produced by powder instead of by grief. Powdered tresses above youthful faces invariably are striking and they have transformed many a merely nice-looking, fresh-complexioned girl into a raving beauty since last summer when—off the stage—a famous French actress revived the eighteenth century fud. The tea coat pictured, which is the feature of the moment in fashions, is made of black tulle crossed with strands of German Rhinestones. It is worn over a white satin gown. Suggestions for the Hostess. Dutch affairs seem in favor for informal gatherings. The decorations should be confined to the Holland colors of blue and red, with Dutch flags and quantities of tullips (at this season those of crepe paper may be used). Quaint Delft designs also come in the crepe papers and the favor counter will show wooden shoes in all sizes, windmills, etc. At the end of a yard of red and blue ribbon tie a tiny wooden shoe and on the ribbon pretzels may be strung for games won if the hostess wishes her guests to play cards. Use large wooden shoes for bonbons and salted nuts. Four full-sized shoes, arranged heel to heel, make a suitable centerpiece. Steins, pipes, Delft plates or tiles make appropriate prizes. At this affair Delft blue paper napkins are permissible. Soft Crowned Hats. Everywhere in Paris the principal features of the hats for this season is the soft crown. For forming these soft crowned hats a thick cotton tulle without any stiffening is used. From all that can be gathered, the real algrette diminishes in flavor. All sorts of little feathers, particularly those of pigeons and chickens, are much used, the natural chickens' feathers varying from light yellow to brick red, and the favorite way of arranging them is in a band almost covering the brim of the hat and sticking up in all direction, five of the largest feathers being placed upright at the back of the hat. These, with the very short breast feathers, tinted in the required shades, give the effect of flowers. Quills have come into use again and will form one of the simplest and most popular varieties of trimming. Male Gray for Afternoons. An afternoon gown in mole gray silk has a coat in chiffon of the same shade, patterned in darn-stitch in gray and gold, and outlined with a narrow band of moleskin, with which the materials used in the gown exactly tone. The "coat" is always "outaway" from the waist downward, so that from the front the pannier effect is obtained, especially If the velling material be fulled into its border. A panel of the silk, in the gown referred to, falls from the waist at the back, covering the chiffon, and this is a feature of most of the dresses draped in the above manner. Rug Fasteners. At best, rugs will slip on the highly polished floor. This may be prevented to a degree by sewing to each corner of the rug a triangular piece of rubber or heavy leather. There are patent rug fasteners, too. They are an adaptation of the well-known glove clasp. Indeed, a glove clasp will answer the purpose admirably. One half of the clasp is sewed to the rug while the other half is sewed to a piece of kid or cloth and tacked to the floor at just the right spot.

GOOD ROADS ROADS AID TO FARM VALUES Modern Ideas Induce Farmer to Pay More Attention to Drainage, Grading and Graveling. It is a noticeable fact that farm lands have raised in value more in the last two or three years than they did in the ten years previous to that time, writes Lucien A. Sweet in the Farm, Stock and Home. Now the question to be answered is this: Why does this condition prevail? First, the R. F. D. mail has placed the farmer nearer to the city in getting a daily delivery of his daily papers and letters. Enthusiastic Youth and Team of Horses Will Do Wonders Toward Improving Country Roads. If you can enlist the boys or girls in any country community in any good work, it will soon be done; and it is not likely to be done very soon unless you do enlist them. If you get the boys and girls interested in a Sabbath school, it goes without saying that you will have a good school. If you can get the boys and girls to attend church regularly, you will have a prosperous church. If not, your church must inevitably decline. A minister*who can not attract and hold the young people had better be thinking of handing in his resignation. If we are ever to have good dirt roads in Iowa, it will be necessary to enlist the boys. If they are ever interested in the job, we will get the full benefit of the road drag. A drag and a boy and a good team of horses will do wonders, provided the boy's heart is in it; not otherwise. Theory, you say? Well, let's see. Miss Jessie Field, the superintendent of schools in Page county, Iowa, organized seven teams numbering from four to ten each. Each team met and chose a captain. When it came time to drag the roads, he ordered his boys out, and they obeyed orders. Mr. W. C. Brown, president of the New York Central railroad, who has a farm in that county, gave a prize of $100 to the best team of boys. One of the best things Colonel Hepburn ever did in his life was to present a trophy to the boy who had the best half mile of road at the end of the season. The teams put up signs at each half mile, giving the name of the boy who was responsible for dragging that piece of road. Finally, the supervisors paid the expenses of D. Ward King to come and judge the work, and decide which team was entitled to the hundred dollars, and which individual boy was entitled to the trophy. Now it goes without saying that if this work is continued and extended, Page county will have the best dirt roads in the state of Iowa, or in any of the adjoining states. Why? Because the boys have taken it in hand. Few people realize what a tremendous thought the master gave to the world when he said: "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them; for to such belongeth the kingdom of God." In other words, he recognized the value of childhood—boyhood—not merely for spiritual things, but for all things. "The boy is father to the man;" that is, what the boy is, the man will become. Why Trees Should Be Planted. Why Trees Should Be Planted. In addition to serving as a great source of wood supply, the forest exerts certain well-known beneficial influences to human interests. These are influences: (1) Upon the climatic conditions within the forest area; (2) upon the distribution and character of the water flow; (3) upon the mechanical condition and erosion of the soil under cover, and (4) upon the sanitary and aesthetic conditions of the people. ROADS AID TO FARM VALUES Modern Ideas Induce Farmer to Pay More Attention to Drainage, Grading and Graveling. It is a noticeable fact that farm lands have raised in value more in the last two or three years than they did in the ten years previous to that time, writes Lucien A. Sweet in the Farm, Stock and Home. Now the question to be answered is this: Why does this condition prevail? First, the R. F. D. mail has placed the farmer nearer to the city in getting a daily delivery of his daily papers and letters. Second, the cooperative farmers' telephones. This source of comfort brings the farmer into almost the homes of his neighbors in almost the twinkling of an eye and the cost of this comfort luxury and necessity is only from three to four dollars a year. Third, the automobile in the hands of many farmers. By the introduction of the R. F. D. mail and the use of automobiles by the farmers, it has caused them to be much more interested in the drainage; grading and graveling of the roads—both for the use of the mail carriers and for the use of their autos—so that in the last two years more gravel has been put on the roads in southern Minnesota than has been placed there since the roads were laid out. Fairmont township, Martin county, the writer's home for 30 years, adopted what is known as the cash system of road making—through the hard work of a few of our voters we carried the election by a majority of one. This was done about eight years ago; since that time we have paid no poll tax, but all lands and properties of all kinds have been assessed a certain amount to raise cash to be expended on the roads as such. The town board has appointed a road overseer who takes charge of all the roads of the township. Notwithstanding, the township has eight or ten gravel pits with the very best quality of fine gravel, very little has been put into the roads until the last two or three years. But since the work of graveling the grades and tiling the water away from the low grades in the sloughs the roads are so much improved that the voters are now raising twice the money for road purposes that they did before the gravel was used and the roads where graveled are in fine condition. To be sure this year the crop was good and two years ago the crop was good, also; but as the farms are title drained and the roads are made good, farm lands advance very rapidly. While there is probably no one thing that has contributed altogether to the rapid rise in land values in the last two or three years, it is quite plain to be seen that the drainage of the wet places along the roads and the graveling of the roads, putting them in very good condition, has been the main factor in putting land values where they are at the present time. An Orchard HInt. The difficulty encountered in harvesting apples in orchards where clean cultivation is given the trees as a result of the fruit falling in the dirt may be overcome to a large extent by sowing rye the latter part of July and cutting it about two weeks before the time for harvesting, and letting it lie as a carpet to protect the fruit. Protecting Fruit Bushes Currant and other bushes that are liable to be broken down by heavy snows, may often be protected from such damage by simply tying them together in an upright position so that the snowdrifts cannot bend and break the canes. CAP and BELLS COULDN'T MIX IN RELIGION Advertising Man Who Wanted Picture Portraying Marathon Afraid to Trifle With Mercury. "I want," explained the advertising man, "I want a picture that has the idea of speed to it—real speed. I want it to go at a regular Marathon. But it's got to be new." "Yes, I see," and picked up a pencil. "How about Mercury? Something like this." He sketched rapidly the figure of the messenger of Olympus, winged sandals, winged cap, symbolic staff and all. The advertising man looked it over approvingly. "Seems all right," he commended. "But what does it mean? Who's Mercury?" "Oh, Mercury? He was the speediest thing that ever lived," the artist declared "Mercury was the god of speed, you know." But the advertising manager gave one long, regretful look at the sketch and shook his head. "Too bad," he murmured sadly. "Too bad. I like its looks, but it won't do. It won't do, young man. We can't get mixed up with anyone's religion like that." No Expert. A gang of Italians were employed on a railway contract removing earth with wheelbarrows. While proceeding with his work one of the men noticed that the wheel of his barrow was squealing terribly, and to put a stop to the noise he turned the barrow over, and was in the act of greasing it when the boss noticed him and shouted out: "Halloa, Pietro! Halloa, sir! What the dickens are you doing?" "I'm greasing my barrow, sir." "Who told you to do that?" "No one, sir. I took it upon myself." "Well, don't let me catch you at it again.

If Married to Hatchet-Faced Woman Who Did All Talking, Man Would Let Fact Be Known. "Who is that hatchet-faced woman over there who seems to think it is necessary for her to do all the talking?" "Don't you know her?" "No, I never saw her before. If she's married I'm sorry for the poor devil who is her husband. I can't imagine anything more terrible than being tied up to a woman like that for life. heavens, hear her go it! Her voice is like a rasp. I should think her throat would be all worn out. Do you know what I'd do if I were married to such a woman?" "No. For heaven's sake tell me." "Oh. 'I beg your pardon, old man. I didn't mean any offense. I—I apologize." "That's all right. You gave me to understand a moment ago that there was something you would do if you were married to such a woman. What is it?" "I'd hasten to let my friends know it when I took her out anywhere so they wouldn't be in any danger of making the kind of a break I've just made." Too Much Ciphering Congressman Lamb of Virginia has an old "befo' de wah" darky working on his place, whom he pays $1-a day. The old man is not very fond of work and loses a day often because of his alleged infirmities. The other day the congressman told him he was going to raise his wages from $6 a week to $7. The old darky emphatically refused the raise, and when his boss asked him why, he answered: "It's lak dis. Mister John. When I loses a day from work now, I kin count mah money; but if you gib me a raise an' I loses a day, I won' know how much I'se got comin' tuh me."— Judge W. K.

"Why, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Habbakuk, Jonah, Haggal, Malachi, Zephaniah, dearie. I can't think of all of them without looking them up, but I fancy there must have been about twenty." "Twenty?

FOR ETHEL'S LOVE Lover Dreams He Killed Rival and Surrenders to Marshal. By LOUISE PARKS BELL. Bailey banged the door behind him viciously, and slung his hat into the farthest corner of the room. Up and down the narrow floor he paced nervously, his mind going over and over the irritating events of the evening. It was a sultry night in mid-August, and when he had lounged down to the saloon on the corner he had been in no pleasant frame of mind. It had been a long day, and the whole heat of the town had seemed concentrated in the tiny-dry goods store. All the most tiresome and exacting customers in the county had come in, it seemed to Bailey; a never ending stream of frettful women, worn out by the beating rays of the sun. Supper had not been an enjoyable meal; Mrs. Wilson's baby had cried all the time, the files had buzzed more persistently than ever, and never had food looked more uninviting. A dense pall of suffocating heat hung over the town as Bailey drifted to the bar. He was not a drinking man ordinarily, but Ethel was out of town, and he felt a restless craving for companionship. Of course he drank too much; at the time it seemed to be the only way of cooling off. It failed of its effect, however, and before he knew it he and Calvert were engaged in a bitter quarrel. The original cause was trifling, but it was soon lost sight of, and the long-smoldering enmity between the two suitors for the same girl broke forth unrestrained. Calvert's final taunt was fresh in his ears as he paced the floor, that sutble assurance of success and peer at his pretensions. Bailey clenched his fists again. Impotent hatred raged within him, and his thoughts were black. Presently he calmed down a little, and the close atmosphere began to oppress him. He undressed languidly, flinging his clothes here and there, and breathing heavily. He went out in the hall, when he had donned his pajamas and brought in a pitcher of water, which he put down on the table beside his bed. He poured some out in a glass and took a sip, grimacing at its tepid taste. Setting it down, he lay down on the bed and tried to sleep. The heat-hidden air pressed down on him, he turned restlessly from one side to the other, vainly seeking comfort. After an interminable time he fell asleep, an uneasy, broken slumber that was worse than wakefulness. At last he gave up the attempt to rest, and got up to see if it was cooler by the window. He stood there for a few seconds, breathing the same suffocating air. Not a leaf stirred anywhere, the very moon loomed red and mot low in the sky. Footsteps sounded down the deserted street. Bailey leaned out to see who the nocturnal wanderer could be. With a start he recognized Calvert, Calvert swinging along jauntily, and whistling the wedding march confidently. That was the final straw. All the pent-up passions of the evening rushed to the surface, and almost involuntarily Bailey opened his door and stealthily crept down the stairs. The front door stood ajar, only the screen was hooked. Hurriedly he unfastened that, and hastened up the street after the unconscious Calvert. As he went his mind was busy. Calvert lived on the other side of the river, and would have to cross the rickety old bridge that spanned it. If he went fast he could overtake him there, and it would look like an accident. Bailey quickened his pace until he was almost running. His victim never turned his head, but went on whistling to his doom. At the bridge Bailey was but a step or two behind. In the middle of the bridge he made up that distance, and dealt Calvert a crashing blow behind the ear. He dropped like a log. Bailey looked all around cautiously. The moon had gone behind a cloud, and the placid little village lay on the river bank undisturbed. Not a sound broke the silence, not a murmur attested that his crime had been witnessed. He had to force himself to touch that limp figure lying there so still, but the fear that the moon might come out made him hurry. He gathered it up gingerly, and with a mighty effort flung it over the railing. With a splash the body disappeared, and as it sank the moon came out three times brighter than before. Bailey leaned on the rail and watched the ripples, sick at heart. He knew Calvert could not swim, and even if he recovered from his swoon at once he could not make his way to the shore. Yet somehow that knowledge did not cheer Bailey. He shuddered as he stared at the ripples, slowly dying away. His thoughts drifted into a new channel. How would Ethel take the news, he wondered. A sudden pang smote his heart. He had pretended to love her—and yet, if she had cared for Calvert he had destroyed her future happiness. And if Calvert's words had not been true he had ruined his own chances. He could not go to her with his hands stained crimson with human blood. Realization of what he had done swept over him like a flood. Suppose Calvert had lied—and it was possible—why had he not questioned Ethel, instead of letting his passions rule him? His love seemed a selfish and unholy thing. He clung to the railing, half determined to end it all, to slink to rest beside his victim. Somewhere within him a nobler feeling stitred. Since he had done this thing he were a coward to shirk the consequences, he must bear his punishment. He would go and give himself up to the law. His decision made, he cast one parting glance at the river beneath him, lying calm and motionless in the clear moonlight. With steady steps he pursued his way to the home of the town marshal, in whose portly person was embodied the majesty of the village law. He rang the bell with a determined hand, and as its deep tones died away a fluttering night-shirt appeared in the door. "Well, what is it?" boomed out the massive figure adding in a lower rumble, "It's a good thing it's so hot I can't sleep, with people coming this time of night." Bailey felt a sense of something strange creeping over him. He had to make a mighty effort to recall his purpose in coming hither. But after a moment his memory and resolution returned, and he spoke clearly and firmly. "I have come," he announced, "to give myself up for the murder of Roy Calvert." "Well, I'll be dinged!" ejaculated the marshal. "Well, I'll be dinged!" He sat weakly down on the door-sten. "It's Tom Bailey, as I live," he murmured huskily. Then he turned his head and called, "Wes, you and Roy come down here right away." Bailey brushed aside these interruptions. "I'm ready to go to jail," he declared. The marshal rose and surveyed him from head to toe. "Heat, I guess," he remarked, slowly shaking his head. "Light the lamp in there," he directed to some one in the hall. The light flared up brightly. Bailey gasped. Standing beside the table, arrayed in brilliant pajamas, was Wesley Stevens, the marshal's son—and behind him was Roy Calvert! He knew it could not be true, and strove to tear his fascinated gaze from the hallucination. The elder Stevens spoke. "It's lucky you stayed there with Wes tonight, Roy," he rumbled, "or I'd have been locking Tom up. He says he's murdered you." The specter broke into strangely human laughter. "It must be the heat," it declared in earthly tones, "or else—Tom, what are you carrying in your left hand?" For the first time Bailey realized that he held something. He looked down. In his left hand he was carrying a glass of water, full to the brim. "Who what?" he gasped. "You've been dreaming, old fellow!" cried Calvert, coming forward and clapping Bailey on the shoulder with a force that dispelled all doubts as to his reality, "and you walked down here in your sleep, carrying that water. Don't you remember, Wes, how he used to walk in his sleep when we were kids, and carry anything that was by his bed along with him?" Wes corroborated this with an emphatic nod. "I was teasing you down at Moore's tonight," continued Calvert, "and I guess I went a little too far. This heat has made us all bughouse. So that and the heat made you dream you killed me." "Yes, the heat," echoed Bailey, not quite recovered from the shock of his awakening. "Well, go on home and get some sleep now," said the marshal. "You can sleep now—see, it's beginning to rain. This hot spell's over." Office That Nobody Wanted. Viscount Haldane, the lord chancellor, has just told how he came to be appointed British minister of war, an office he held till recently. When the late Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman was forming his ministry nearly seven years ago he suggested one or two offices to Lord Haldane. "I replied," Lord Haldane continued: ""There is another office I should like. I do not know much about it, but it is full of most fascinating problems." "Sir Henry asked: 'What is that?' I answered: 'The war office. Is it full?' "Sir Henry exclaimed: 'Full? No one will touch it with a pole.' "I went to the war office, and really had a very easy time there. I found a number of young generals, with minds full of our shortcomings because they had come fresh from South Africa with its evidence of unpreparedness. We all sat down to think together, and that was how the imperial general staff grew up." London's Water Supply. The eighth annual report of the metropolitan water board states that the total amount of water supplied by that body during the year ended March 31, 1911, was 82,170,000,000 gallons, representing a weight of 366,800,000 tons and a daily average of 225,000,000 gallons. The total volume of water abstracted from the Thames was 49,962,000,000 gallons, the remainder being obtained from the Lea and from gravel beds, natural springs and wells. The supply from the last named source amounted to 14,484,000,000 gallons. The month in which most water was supplied was June, the difference between the daily average of that month and that for January being 35,000,000 gallons, or five gallons per head of the estimated population of the board's area, which is 7,099,871. The average daily supply per head throughout the year was 31.57 gallons, a decrease from 331.98 gallons in 1909-10.—London Globe. MAKE GOOD FARMERS Many Women Successful as Tillers of the Soil. Instances at Hand Where They Can Show the Way to the Men—Missouri Has a Farm Womens' Club. The last census showed 307,706 women farmers in the United States, and there is prospect of a large increase in that number when the new statistics come in. Women have been called the conservative sex, but they are displaying anything but conservatism in the way they are grasping and utilizing modern methods in their farming. All over New England, farm land is being reclaimed by women—many of them worn out by the strain of clerical, or professional life—seeking the country as a refuge. One scientific woman farmer—Miss Smith—is annually making more than $2,000 on land that did not produce a revenue of $600 for the entire ten years previous to her purchase of the farm. In New Jersey the Misses Hunter have made a marked success of dairying. Miss Emma Blanpled and Miss Beatrice Cooley have for ten years been successful farmers in Oklahoma. They did actual pioneer work, going there from Kansas, breaking and developing the land for their crops. Mrs. Ruth Litt of Long Island is one of the most successful, from a financial standpoint, farm woman in the United States. Miss Jessie Field of Iowa has promoted the work of Corn clubs among boys and Bread clubs among girls, the effects of which have been for the rural betterment not only in every part of Iowa, but in many parts of the country. To the end that hundreds of thousands of lives may be saved in India, where famine often lays desolate whole villages, Miss Elsie Leue, a senior student in the College of Agriculture at the Ohio State university, will become the first farm missionary to the land of the Hindoos. Miss Leue is a Cincinnati girl, and has made a thorough study of scientific farming, which she in turn expects to teach to the farmers of India, that they may in future raise crops large enough to feed the people. While teaching farming she will also teach Christianity to the heathen in and around Punjab, India. Many towns throughout the United States are inaugurating rest rooms for the benefit of farm women who come to town to shop. Miss Clara Haynie of Georgia is one of the champion corn growers of that state. She averaged 140 bushels of corn to the acre, which was several bushels in excess of the highest record given by any of the boys. Mrs. Matthew T. Scott of Illinois owns and successfully operates the largest tract of farming lands of any woman in the United States. Missouri has a Farm Women's club made up of women who are actual farm owners, of which Miss Alice Kinney is president and Miss Pearles Mitchell, secretary.

This shows what women and intensive farming can accomplish. Mrs. E. S. McDowell of Massachusetts is treasurer of the National Grange in the United States. Miss Emma Wilson of Illinois, Miss Chandler of Wisconsin and Miss Flora McHyre of California are successful women bee keepers. Miss E. Kate Le Lacheur is president of a woman's farm in England. She is a graduate of New Iham college, and has taken it upon herself to train girls for outdoor and agricultural work. Studley Agricultural and Horticultural College for Women in England is doing a large work in teaching women students marketing and gardening, dairying and poultrying. "In order that we may have an efficient and happy rural life, the study of the problems which confront the home is as necessary as the study which every progressive farmer is now giving to the cultivation of his fields." So says Miss Mary Croswell, one of Georgia's club women, who is school extension assistant of the agricultural college. Miss Mary L. Matthems, who has been doing work in farmers' institutes in Indiana, has this to say: "Even a farmer's wife should not be a household drudge, a plain dish washer and bed maker. She should be given time and opportunity for church, and even club work if she desires. The condition of women on the farm is partly due to themselves, many women of today are using the same cooking utensils as those employed by their grandmothers." Mrs. M. H. Dunlap of Illinois is president of the State Domestic Science association. In regard to the work of the association, she says: "We believe that women should receive assistance and education in order that they may help in making better homes." Occasionally one man may abuse another by praising his enemies. Governor Chittenden's Humane Deed Caused Thief to Reform and Become a Man. Governor Thomas Chittenden of Vermont is remembered for his great kindness of heart as well as for his ability and force of character. He was the first governor of the state, and lived in the liberal manner that befitted his office. His cellar, as was the custom of those days, was well stocked every fall with provisions— barrels of pork, boxes of vegetabjes and tubs of butter. One winter night the governor's rest was broken by sounds coming from his cellar. He left his bed quietly, and with a candle ready to light made his way in the direction of the noise. As he reached the cellar he struck a light, and saw a man taking great pieces of pork out of his meat barrel and stowing them away in a bag. The governor approached the intruder, and in a commanding, voice sald. "Go on, sir! Fill up that bag and be off. You ought to be ashamed of yourself to disturb honest people at this time of night!" The thief shrank back, evidently much frightened. "Be quick!" continued the governor. "It is no fit time to keep me shivering here!" So stern was the governor's manner that the man was compelled to obey. "Now begone!" went on Governor Chittenden. "When you are again in need of food come to me and say so, and I will give you more. Do not pillage my house at night. If I ever have the smallest reason to suspect you of another such act, you shall be punished for this offense as the law provides." It is pleasant to know that the man came to the governor the next day to ask for employment, in order that he might pay for what he had taken, and that work was found for him, which he performed steadily and well. Youth's Companion. LIKE - SWORD OF DAMOCLES Dread of Falling Always Present in the Case of the Circus Per- Day after day the circus woman dons her tinsel, slips on the heavy wooden "slop-shoes" over her satin pumps, and so with perliaps a "By-by, girls," and a nod to the wardrobe mistress, she shuffles out from the dressing tent to the ring, blows a kiss to the audience at large and tukes her life in her hands, writes Sarah Sonstock in Collier's. She does not think of this fact consciously, as a rule; but subconsciously the knowledge is with each one that some day, perhaps, she will be like the little girl who once was hustled out of a circus ring so fast that the audience hardly noticed—and then a gaudy kimoon was thrown over her face—and instead of her slop shoes returning when the whistle blew, men's feet tramped and the circus doctor found no work for him when he got there. Get to know these women and you find that under all their easy light-heartedness, their gypsy spirit, is a sort of smoldering dread like that of the people who live in earthquake countries. You see it, for one thing, in the keen way they take up the subject of accidents. "The worst I ever fell was once the net broke," said a trapeze performer. "I'd just as soon have it break as fall bad in it." put in another. "Remember that time I bit my lip? Felt like my chin was knocked right up through the top of my head. My lower teeth cut my upper lip it had to be sewed up clear across." I learned then that the art of falling in the net is as difficult as any part of the performance; for so great is its elasticity that if a performer "falls bad," say in a standing position, the knees may be shot straight up to the chin and a knockout blow may result. To learn to come into the net prostrate, as in a hammock, is no small trick. Unfortunate Truths. Congressman Henry was deprecat ing 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.'"
