An acetonide aed idely Observed PARADE MOST CREDITABLE SINCE THAT OF 1905, Bxercises at New St. Philip Church Very Interesting—Rev. Giddens” Address Highly Ap- preciated—Singing a Feature —Civic and Uniform Socicties In Parade—Three Bands. “The fiftieth celebration of the issuance of the Emancipation Proe- Jamation of the immortal Abraham Lincoln was celebrated in this city on last Wednesday, the tirst day of January, by a very creditable pa- radeand most interesting: exercises The celebration was beyond doubt the greatest that the Negroes ef ‘the city have held since the last time the colored state militia took part in acclebration of this nature. ‘This was in 1905, and from thet day the celebrations bave ali been Jacking in one respect or another. Mowever, this year’s display was very creditable and surpassed in grandeur the éxpectations of those who had the celebration in charge. The celebration on the west side of the city was begun about ten o’clock in the morning by the organizations of this section of the city that were to take part in the parade gathering on West Broad and Gwinnett streets. During the rendezvous the Knights of Pythias band enter- tained the hundreds of spectators by a short concert which was not ealy inspiring and pleasing, but very classic and patriotic About eleven o’clock the parade moved off and proceeded south on West Broad street. In this proces- sion were four companies of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Py- thias, and the members of the Bmancipation Association, who were conreyed in ten carriages ‘This section of the purade passed through the principal streets in the southern section of the city and then proceeded north on East Broad street, being joined at Lib erty street by the second part of the procession, which was com- posed of three companies of the Knights of Damon and the Impe- rjal Aid and Social Club, who were about one hundred strong. From this point the joint parade continued north- to Broughton street, thence to West Broad, north to Bryan, thence through Yamacraw, emerging at West Broad and Hull streets, and from this point direct 'to New St. Philip church, West Broad and Charles streets where the exercises were held. The parade. was witnessed by thousands of persons and re- veived liberal applause. It was full of life and enthusiasm and there was an abundance of patriotic and inspiring music by the three bands, Knights of Pythias, Mid- dleton’s and the Metronome. Much favorable comment was occasioned by the pfesence of the uniform ranks in line snd also the civic organizations and these bodies will long be remembered for their srand showing. | The exercises at the church were very creditable and were witnessed | by a packed house. ‘The program was intensely interesting and car- ried out without a hitch. The speaker of the day, the Reverend E. D. Giddens. Presid- ing Elder of the Methodist church, delivered an address which was not only very instructive, but which was the embodiment of excellent advice to his hearers. The speaker held his audience spellbound for about an hour and ten minutes and time after time was interrupt- ed by vigorous applause. _ ‘The congregational singing of the “Battle Hymn of the Repub lic.” and ‘‘My Country *Tis of Thee,” was the grandest heard here for many a day and very in- gpirine.

An appropriate pro: gram was arranged and carried out. Grand Chaplain L. A. Townsley, D. D., installed the officers of Butler Lodge on St. John’s Day. Past Master G.. A. Williams who has been-at the head of the Lodge fora uumber of years wrote in hearty commendution of the Grand Chaplain and stated that all who heard him were well pleased. ~ The principle of Masonry im- poses nothing untried It has stood the test, and we, as Masons need not hesitate to live its texch- ings, preach its doctrine and show our belief in God, who knows our hearts and desires to rule them thot we may be true Masons. Let us*study our’ principles more and khus be better fitted for our speci! work, When differences arise among Masens, they should be settled in a brotherly way. It seems to us to bea reproach to Masonry when xppeals are made to the courts by Masons to settle their differences, -when such differences might be easily and amicably settled through the medium of Masonry. Some men wear their Masonry very lightly. An occasional at- tendance at lodge, the’ payment of dues, appearance in a Masonic procession—these seem to Le the only duties of Masons with such brethren, Masonry means more than this. It is a living. active force for good. We should live our Ma- sonry outof the lodge room as well as in it. 2 Law suits between, Masons should neyer occur if there is any possibility of avoiding them. At apy rete, the courts should be the aery last resorts Let differences among Mhksons be adjusted by Masons. + MASONIC READING- To appreciate what Masonry really is, and to have its great beauties unfolded to him, the Ma- son must strive for constant im- provement. To stop is to retro- grade—to stand still is to go down. He must unremittingly strive for more light so as to avail himself of the great moral and spiritual uplifting force whick is to be found by all who search faithfully. “Converse with well-informed brethren,” and read the best Ma- sonic journals which is the same as conrersing with well-informed brethren ata distance. You can in this way obtain the best thought of the best Masons in all parts of the globe, In old times seekers after knowledge had to make long snd difficult journeys, attended often with dangers and perils so great as to deter all who were not animated by so lofty a ‘purpose. All the trials were faced, the hard- ships were endured and the dan- vers were encountered, for the purpose of conversing with the well-informed, and thereby adding 10 their'store af wisdom and know- ledge. ‘Today, for the’paltry sub- scription price of a paper, the| well-informed af distart lands are brought to our own firesides, aud nade to disclose to us priceless reasures out of their store-houses xf knowledge—Virginia Masonic Journal. .

All dur- ing New Year’s eve day an inces- sant rain fell and it was thought by some that should it continue during the night that the watch services weuld suffer in attend- ance. But that those who were of this opinion were off in their judgment was very plainly -hown by the large crowds that attended all the watch services and this in face of the fact that the rain continued to pour throughout the night aud did nov show any signs of letting up until early New Year's morn- ing. | About eleven o’clock at night the streets all of n sudden became alive with people making their way to church. ‘I’here were old folk, young folk, cripple folk, all plodding along together and hot one murmur could be heard of the bad weather, but all seemed to be of but one mind, that of getting to some place of worship to usher in the New Year. Then the hour of rejoicing ar- rived and the whistles of the fac- tories, steam ships and locomotives burst forth in one deadening scream and told of the arrival of the yeur 1913. This mingled with the singing of thousands of per- sons who would not brave the weather by going to church bit ¥Yemained at home and then came out for a few moments at the mid- night hour gave a proper welcome to the New year. Early in the morning the skies were clear and the sunshine burst forth in its splendor giving to the day that joy and delight which had been hoped for, but little expeet- ed. New Year's day of 1913 was ideal in every respect and was fittingly celebrated by Savan- nahians in general. All of the business houses which had not given their employees the entire day closed down in the afternoon and the streets were thronged with jovial crowds. = At night the halls were all the scenes of merry crowds and until alate hour theJoy seekers were still busy enjoying themselves. In the suburbs of the city, the day was also fittingly observed, many of the societies and civic organizations holding exercises, all of which were very liberally attended. St. Philip Dots Rev. Singleton occupied the pulpit at 11a.m. At 8:15 p.m, Rey. “David S.

Too much cannot be said about the management. ‘he financial part was not what it should have been. Our members are at fault- ‘They failed to give their patronage. Watch meeting services were well attended notwithstanding the heavy rain and cold weather. Mr. A. G.

An Irishman was newly employed at a lumber office. The proprietors of the company were young men and decided to have some fun with the new Irish hand. Patrick was duly left in charge of the office, with instructions to take all orders which might come in during their absence. Going to a nearby drug store they proceeded to call up the lumber company's office and the following conversation ensued: "Hello! Is this the East Side Lumber company?" "Yes, sir. And what would ye be havin'?" "Take an order, will you?" "Sure. That's what I'm here for." "Please send, us up a thousand knot-holes." "One thousand knot-holes."

ON ROAD OF CHEER Salt of the Earth Doing Man's Work in Wonderful Wom- By LILIAN DUCEY. (Something like the divine fever of spring always stirred within Dr. Cosgrave, at Christmas time. Each year for 365 days, less one evening, he was the stal and stendy surgeon, a general in his field, but on Christmas eve he sailed forth and joined the motley throng along the blazing trail of sparkling shops. He saw her first, arms full of bundles, emerging from one of the brilliant stores. He, himself, was on the point of, entering, but the joy of her face, the light of her eyes-stayed him. However, the light was not for him. Oh, no! Coming along were two ragged, urchins. And she fairly, relied them. "Of course you have a sister at home—" her voice lilted and sang—"for there's a doll in here! And you are brothers; I can see that. Some of the things are for boys, too!" She filled their arms with bundles. "Now go right home. They are from Santa and a Merry Christmas!" Dr. Coegrave stood and stared, as it dawned upon him that here was someone employing his same unique method of dispensing Christmas cheer. He hadn't known that in the whole wild world there might be another disciple of Santa other than himself. But there she was. He followed her into the store; but amid the bustle he lost her, then forgot her. In truth the road of cheer was such a fascinating one; 'once started along its trail, extraneous influences hold no alure. But he saw her again, half an hour afterwards. And, there was no, miss, taking her. Simply by the light of her face he would have, known her. Now she was leading a little girl by the hand, and in their wake came the poorly clad mother, the gleam of joy within her tired eyes. They were making their way toward Cosgrave to where, thor on ther, were piled dolls without number in their cardboard boxes. Cosgrave, himself, was gingerly holding a doll in each arm, as he whited for a little minute to make her choice. And, in the minutes that followed, he had much aid to keep from talking. This was only the, beginning of, of many such, encounters. Here, there, and everywhere they met, until Cosgrave could have sworn that if the depths of her eyes stood a sparkle of understanding. His own were alight with sparkles. Never had the road of cheer been so pleasant. But it did seem as if two such samaritans should speak in passing. Howeyer, even without, a bond seemed to exist between them. As Cosgrave humorously put it, spirit was communing with spirit, although lips were muted. It was a 'lift of sentimentalism that made him feel unaccountably young and unaccountably foolish. But the experience was so pleasant that suddenly, by hook or by crook, he determined to get into conversation with her. 'Why not?' he said to himself. "Why not?" echoed some taunting second solf. But he was too late. When he set out to put his determination into effect, she was not to be found. To say that Cosgray spent the rest of the time searching, is misstating. Certain it is, however, that much of the Christmas spirit fell from him. At last he decided that he had played Santa Claus enough. And it was then, quite an hour later; that he came upon her again as he was leaving the store in a somewhat 'dejected Christmas spirit. "Oh, Mr. Santa—if you please—just a moment!" He gaped wiltless, for he had not seen her until she spoke. And speech being beyond him, he simply lifted his hat, a purely mechanical movement. "I'm in such a predicament," she hurried on, blushing slightly. "I've been standing here—wondering what to do," she paused. "You—you were doing what I was—that is why—" In spite of her unwavering gaze, she was having difficulty in expressing herself; and he rushed to the res. cue. "I've lost my purse," she spoke with assurance now, as if convinced of this kindness, "il haven't a penny—and do not live in the city. Would you—could you let me have enough to get home? Fifty cents—and if you'll let me have your address—" I would—and I could—Langer twinkled, all over Cosgrave's face, "I haven't spent as much as I expected to see—" From his pocket, he brought forth two five-dollar bills, one of which he handed her. "But I don't need all that," she protested. "Oh, but you can't tell," he smiled whimsically. "Besides, here, I have been giving my goods to rejoice the poor—why shouldn't I succor the rich? "If you really care to trust me—she began. "Trust you!" he cut in. Once more he had to hold his teeth upon what sprung to his lips. This time it was a phrase of childhood that had almost burst from him. He wanted to say: "I'll trust you like anything," but said instead: "Certainly." "And your address?" she asked sweetly. From a card case that the brought from an inside pocket, Cosgrave supplied her with the information: "Thank you." She bowed slightly and looked at the card. The next moment she gave him a swift scrutiny, a look of understanding. But if he thought that she would offer evidence in kind, he was mistaken. As she tucked the card away in her glove, she said: "You'll hear from me in the morning, doctor. I'll telegraph this to you the first thing in the morning." And, whenever the man may have wanted to say was lost in the rush of her departure. "If I make, haste," she hurried away, "I'll catch a train. Good-bye—and thank you so much!" Cosgrave, watched her go, raising his hat as she, looked back, after boarding a car. Why didn't she give him her name? It came to him suddenly that she looked like a person of importance herself. Shrugging a little at his susceptibility and intense desire to know her, he went back into the store, back into the toy department and the saleslady he had heard her speaking with in a way to denote that they had met before. It wasn't just the thing to do, he knew. But after what Cosgrave considered the utmost adroitness, and which left the saleswoman with a mournful sparkle in her eyes, he came away with the news that the lady in question, who came there each year and played Mrs. Santa Claus, was Dr. Mary Joyce of Burley. "Dr. Mary Joyce," he said the name over and over to himself as he went home. "Why, it smacks of the Christmas joy!" Then he wondered why the very fellowship of their professions should not have induced her to tell him who she was. In his office, Cosgraye called, up a particular friend and colleague who lived in that same town of Burley. Without preamble he went straight to the point, although he did laugh at himself as he did so. "Kennedy," he called, "do you by any chance, know a lady, from your place by the name Joyce?" "Oh! hello Cosgraye! bowed to a big voice with a fluting brogue. 'Did you know, it was 12, 4 o'clock, man! And that life and death messages man should disturb, a busy doctor, from his sheep at this hmnn!" Cosgraye could imagine the chuckles of amusement that went with this; but Dr. Joyce: "I do that," the answer was prompt. "She's the salt of the earth, aside from being most beautiful. And more than that, in a world of women and children she is doing a man's work in a wonderful woman way. And furthermore, if you were to ask me, I'd tell you that men don't exist to her. Sure she has a heart like a bagwood ball where men are concerned." He paused and asked: "Anything else, you wanted?" "How are all the little Kendys?" Cogswave laughed. "Fine! Satisfaction edged the deep voice with greater depth. 'I'm dressing the tree. Say, come up and spend Christmas with us? Sure, it's only, a stone's throw to Dr. Joyce's house." Again Cosgrave laughed into the phone. "Kennedy," he said, "you're wrong. Can't one physician inquire into the merits of other? Goodbye! Run in and see me when you ban." The next moment he had rung off. But the next he was slipping into his coat again. And presently in a florist's shop, he was writing a little note—to be sent with a dozen American Beauty roses. It read: "Plucked on the Road of" Cheer. From one samaritan to another—with the season's greetings! Then with eyes that "fushed as a boy's do when he takes a dare, he went back home and called up Dr. Kennedy again. "Oh, Kennedy," he laughed heartily, "I forgot to say that I accept your invitation. Could you"—he coughed—"or rather, is there any way possible—" "There is," the big voice, mocked, even while it rang with decision. "Dr. Joyce is having dinner with us her- self. She's the youngest one's god- mother. Come on!" Prudent Knight of the Road. "Here, my friend, take this overcoat. It belonged to my poor husband!" "Was your husband, long, ill, mad, am?" No. He died suddenly, poor fellow. "And he was usually well and in good health?" "Oh, no one could have been better." "Never had any rash or fever?" "Never" "Good! Tell me, had he worn this overcoat often?" "Two or three times at the most." "Very well! Then be kind enough to have, if distressed, my good lady I will return for it tomorrow. It is not altogether my taste as to style, but a poor, devil like, myself cannot be to critical." - La Riru Too Liberal. Wife—Here's an advertisement in the paper that you'd better look into. It says, a man is wanted, and he won't be worked to death, and he'll get enough to live on. Husband—Says he won't be worked to death, eh? "Yes, and they promise enough to live on." "Hub! Some catch about that!" IN LINCOLN'S HONOR Memorial Building Costing $2, 000,000 to Be Erected. Congress Expected to Approve Plans for Construction of Gigantic Hall—Scheme to Build National Road Rejected. Washington.—As a result of a meeting of the Lincoln memorial commission held at the White House the other day a memorial hall costing $2,000,000 is to be erected here in honor of Abraham Lincoln. A number of suggestions as to the form of the memorial were considered. They included a roadway from Washington to Gettysburg, a roadway from Mount Vernon, the home of Washington, to Gettysburg, and a roadway from Richmond to Gettysburg. The commission decided, however, in favor of the plan presented by Henry Bacon, a New York architect, and urged by Senator Cullin. The commission is composed of President Taft, Senators Cullom, Wetmore, and Martin, Speaker Clark, former Speaker Cannon, and Congressman McCall. In the act creating the commission these men upon retirement from public life will continue to supervise the erection of what is expected to be the handsomest memorial in the United States. A technical description of the design is as follows: "The memorial to the memory of Abraham Lincoln is to be erected in Potomac park and on the axis of the capitol and the Washington monument. This axis was planned more than a century ago. "The Lincoln memorial is to be placed in the center of a terrace eleven feet high and 7,000 feet in diameter and will rest upon a rectangular stone wall fourteen feet high, 256 feet long, and 186 feet wide. On this rectangular wall will rise the memorial hall, which is eighty-four feet wide and 156 feet long. This memorial hall will be surrounded by a colonnade, composed of thirty-six columns forty-four feet high and seven feet-five inches in diameter as their base, thus increasing the dimensions of the memorial to 188 feet long and, 118 feet wide. This total height, of the structure, above the present grade, will be 122 feet. Entrance to the memorial will be by a colonnaded entrance forty-five feet wide and forty-four feet high. "The four features, of the memorial will be the central hall," sixty-feet wide, seventy feet long and sixty feet high, in which will stand the Lincoln statue; two halls separated from the central, hall by-columning, of the lontie order, thirty-seven feet wide, fifty-seven feet long and sixty feet high, in which will be placed memorials, of Lincoln's Gettysburg speech and his second inaugural address, and surrounding the walls Inclosing these memorials will be a colonnade forming a symbol of the union, each colonnie representing a state—thirty-six in all—which existed at the time of Lincoln's death. "Above this, colonnade and supported at intervals, by cagles will be forty-eight memorial festoons, one for each state existing at the present time." It is expected the memorial will be constructed within three years. SHE WAS'A DEBUTANTE. That Washington has a well advertised social life and an up-to-date colored population is illustrated by the following: *Young Mrs. H.* required a nurse for her children and advertised to fill the position. From among the applicants she selected a nent and attractive young colored girl, soon arranging most of the preliminary details of hiring. *"You may have two, nights a week out," Mrs. Hi said, kindly. *"That wouldn't do to me," the colored girl answered quickly. *Ah must habe ebery night, out its wintah."* *"Out every night!" replied Mrs. H. in astonishment. "And why this winter."* *"Well, yo see," the colored girl hesitated a moment. *yo see. Ah m'be deberafante ifs yeah, an' Ah must be out at night." Judge. Senator Benjamin F. Shively of Indiana had one of the toes of his right foot cut off regularly in a local hospital. The toe had become irritated, and blood poisoning was feared. Senator Shively refused to take either of chloroform. During the operation he smoked a cigar. War. Grocer.

The publication and mailing of the daily Congressional Record is an impressive spectacle, even to publishers used to rapid printing on a big paper. Here is a publication which sometimes for weeks at a time will average daily 130 pages of solid printed matter, a staggering number of words much larger than is printed in any daily newspaper or weekly or monthly magazine. The Congressional Record is often printed in feverish haste in the small hours of the morning, yet it is remarkably free from errors, either of English, composition or of make-up, or in the governmental style." The stutterings of the lino-type never get into the record. The proper words are capitalized or left uncapitalized, and spellings are uniform. Although written, printed and delivered in 12 hours it compares favorably, in accuracy with the best specimens of bookwork. The printing officials, declare it, is the most remarkable publication in the world if this respect "The Record has an editor, staff of reporters and 'contributing' editors. The editor is John H. Berg, the superintendent of work in the G.O. P., and he is probably the most unloved man in the halls of congress. His sympathizers will be the members of the fraternity of newspaper managing editors and 'makeup men' everywhere. Many is the senator and representative who has burned the midnight oil revising a speech he was particularly anxious to have appear in the next day's Record, only to get his copy of the publication the next morning, and find instead the sentences: "Mr. X. of Oregon addressed the house." His remarks will be printed later." On such occasions Mr. X. has expressed his opinion of Managing Editor Berg in language he wouldn't care to have a constituent hear. But midnight is the absolute 'dead line' for Copy: to go into the next day's Record, and while the forms are sometimes held, open, a few minutes after this hour, this does not often happen, and when his copy is hate the delinquent contributor, finds to be printed later 'legend' instead of his speech. NUS EXPORTS INCREASING Anastonishing and wholly unprecedented, increase in the export, trade from the United States to South America occurred in October, though the acceleration has been going on with steadily increasing ratio for the past ten months. The actual increase in which is compiling the figures is reported in attributes the increased about great activity; of the American countries, who, under the department's instructions, are constantly seeking trade opportunities for American manufacturers. During October the trade exported to Argentina reached the total of $230,205,00 to Brazil, $31,143,366, and to Uruguay, $465,848. In the case of Brazil the increase in trade amounted to 66 per cent. compared with October last year. For the ten-month period ended October 31 the Argentine exports, totaled $4,197,944, the Brazilian $23,968,755, and Uruguay $8,129,023. That amounted to an increase of 110 per cent. In the case of Uruguay, compared with four years ago. The export trade with Japan during the same ten-month period rose to a total of $15,025,125, which is an increase of 15 per cent. In one year. The state department officials point with satisfaction to the fact that, especially in the case of Argentina and Uruguay, this American export trade is composed, not of raw material, but generally, of manufactures, products which compete with European goods! BLIND MEN TO PRINT BOOKS. The national library for the blind equipped with a printing press, a reading room and four other rooms designed for the comfort of the unfortunates, has settled down in new quarters within a few blocks of the White House. The printing press will be operated by blind printers and pressmen, and the output will be books, and pamphlets designed for those whose sight is gone. One of the objects of the organization is the education of the sightless in the art of setting Bralle type and in printing and blinding their own books, which are read by the "tonch" system. The books will be placed in circulation and sent throughout the United States to other societies for the blind. The national organization's new home is the gift of Mrs. R. McManes Coiffel of Philadelphia. The circulating library has been begun with a collection of books presented by the Perkins institute of Boston, and by the School for the Blind at Halifax, N. S. In addition, Baroness Von Schenck in Mexico, has promised to send the institution one book each month. Modified Request "Could I see your husband, ma'am?" asked the tramp at the door.

The parade and exercises of the colored citizens on last Wednesday day in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation by the immortal Lincoln were very creditable indeed. The showing New Year's day was especially pleasing to those of us who had witnessed the celebrations prior to this last one and immediately following the disbandment of the colored state militia in which our people did not by any means do themselves credit. But Wednesday's celebration was indeed a glorious one and upon every side are those who participated in it receiving congratulations. This is as it should be. The first of January is the Negro's and he should show to the world by a grand display that he justly honors that day. Every man in the parade should receive the congratulations of the Negro citizens of our city for it was a magnificent celebration and naught but praise can be said of it. But as grand as this parade was may it not be that next year's celebration will excel this one. This can be done provided more of civic organizations interest themselves in the celebrating of the day and give their support by joining in the parade. Suppose we work up interest in the next celebration all during the year and not wait until the last month in the year to get our celebration on foot. The year of nineteen hundred and twelve is now history. The year of nineteen hundred and thirteen is now upon us. As we look back over the past year and view the wonderful progress that has been ours to help to make and enjoy, we are led to exclaim: "Surely the Lord has been good to us" during the year. Never before in the history of the world have such wonderful achievements been made by man as have been witnessed during the past year. In science, in art, in literature, in both the in austral and commercial world, man's progress has been marked by unprecedented success. The forces of nature have been harnessed as never before by the ever mastering grasp of men whose lives we all now admire and emulate. In this great evolution of the year. Christianity has played no small part. The movement for world peace among the civilized nations of the world has grown and fallen deeper root among us in our own country despite the ravages of the demagogues and the natural crimes of peace and happiness. The Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man are more pronounced and widespread than ever before. That we are living in an age when such wonderful and unusual achievements of progress are made, should client from us, the greatest and most profound praise and thanks to Him from whom all of these blessings come, whose watchful care has given us during the year peace, happiness and plenty. As a race, the American Negro has kept pace with the development of the year. In business, in art and in science and religion, we have contributed our share to the progress and prosperity of the age. Surely as we reach the fiftieth mile-stone in our freedom, no people can be more thankful to God for His kindness and beneficence than the American Negro. Fifty years ago we were slaves; the chattel of others. Today we are a free people enjoying with others the inalienable rights of man, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The rights youchased to us by the constitution of our country are ours to have and enjoy. Secure in our homes and surroundings, we are left alone and unmolested to make and hold our own in the great struggle for existence. As the years of our freedom advance upon us, the opportunity becomes greater and greater for us to make good a trace. During the year we been hundred and thirteen, we could be put forth by us greater efforts than ever before to bring abo at desired results in the development of our people. One of our greatest drawbacks during the past years, has been our inability "to get together" on matters of public concern for the good of ourselves. The absence of race solidarity among us has been marked. This state of affairs among us should cease. During the present year our getting together as a race, and for the common weal is an absolute necessity. Competition is fiercer than ever before. The lines are tightening in all directions. If we are to preserve our identity as a race and as a people, then we must stick together. Our race pride must be quickened. The constructive work so necessary among us must be carried to a successful fruition. These things must be done or else we fail in the great competitive struggle of the age. The handwriting is on the wall. We must either work together and succeed or stand apart and fail. The Tribune, adhering to its policy, stands ready and willing to cooperate in any movement for the common good. Extending to all of our readers a most unqualified wish for a prosperous and happy New Year, we sincerely trust that when the year nineteen hundred and thirteen shall have spent itself and and we find ourselves on the threshold of another year, that we can view with greater pride than ever before our achievements of the year. Eagerly did many of your readers read your thoughtful report of a few weeks ago, giving to the public an idea of what our colleges are also doing in the field of athletics. Why should there not abound among our Savannah people a "college spirit" almost equal to what one would expect to exist in Atlanta, when with the possible exception of Wilberforce University, every prominent Negro institution or learning is here represented. From Yale, Oberlin and the University of Michigan among our number, we likewise find men. Living in a commercial age and at that in a strictly commercial city and becoming so infused to our varied pursuits, that in many instances, one of the most valuable acquisitions of college life,—that is, its spirit—lies dormant. That its stream of consciousness still exists is testified to by the awakened interest manifested in many quarters over your article. In our Negro schools, better and better are becoming the library facilities. In the newspaper room, inquiry has informed us along with experience, to Savannah students, that among the many journals, one is classic, "The Tribune." We would that many of the bright young minds would not at all times wait for the kind editors of their favorite journal to seek news at their respective institutions, but that they would, from time to time, let an eager public, that has no access to The Athea museum, Scroll, Journal, Fisk Herald, etc., have a line or two of "college" news. It is good to learn that Harvard won a championship; our Negro schools also elevens; likewise is it good to know that the Cornell team won the debate--we too have debaters. In an article that appeared in a certain evening journal of our city, we were told of the college activities of a certain jurist in our midst, his estimation was advanced seven fold because of that alone. We long to see the time when, in Savannah, will be a literary circle, with members composed of those who have at least secured a high school training. This for the promotion of the athletics among us and to keep alive the college spirit. Of our many institutions of learning, even one of the least, has in our delightful city a representation of twenty-five. In view of the fact that soon our people are to celebrate their tithity anniversary of emancipation, and because of her being a pioneer in the field of their education, to also celebrate the same, Mr. Andrew D. Monroe banquetea the Hampton curate at his spacious home on Friday evening December 27. Opening with the singing of Hampton's own grace, many of those present spoke most interestingly on racial topics of today and of yesterday in the Negro slowward movement. Of special interest were the many reminiscences told of dear illampton Mr. Robt. Davis sang excellently two solos during the pleasant evening. The Classical Howard was represented by Mr. Jos Ford, of that school, who made a most interesting address to those present. For another year Hampton's motto of "Mutual Service," was adopted. The officers installed for the ensuing year were: President. R. F. Gibson, 09; Vice President. R. M. Davis, 07; Secretary, R-W. Bryant, 06; Assistant Secretary, Cealk K Hardwick, 07; Treasurer, A.D. Monroe, 03; Chaplain, G.E Bryant. With a deep seated determination to promote, as far as possible, a spirit of mutual helpfulness, so conducive to a proper college spirit, to the singing of "auld lang syne," after sending a donation to the Georgia Boys at Hampton, the gathering dispersed.

A cordial welcome to all. Dear Sir: In your issue of December 21st, there appeared an article, "Sabbath and the Adventists" to which I beg space to reply. "It is an honor for a man to cease from strife but every fool will be meddling." Prov. 20-3. Because the Sabbath is not mentioned or called the Christian Sabbath in the books referred to by the Dr. Daughtry, is no evidence that it is a Jewish institution. The Sabbath is an institution of the Lord, and was made twenty-five hundred years before a Jew lived. Jesus said "The Sabbath was made for man," Mark 2:17. Can the Dr. Daughtry tell what man, whether Jew or Gentile? Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Daniel and none of the Minor Prophets and but few of the new testament writers speak of the Lord's Supper, but it does not prove the Supper of none effect. Let the reader think for a moment, David said, "The works of His hands are verity and judgment, all (not nine) His commandments are sure. They stand fast forever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness Ps. 111:7-8 The commandments of God are His handwriting, Ex 31:18, God's Law and commandments will stand as long as heaven and earth stand, Isa. 51:6-8 Matt. 5:17-19. There were Gentiles who kept the Sabbath before the advent of our Lord Jesus, and as they, with the true Jews, were looking for His coming, it was indispensable then that they should offer burnt offering and sacri icees, as they were a part of the law which was a shadow of good things to come. This law, how ever, was the law of Moses, written in a book (not stone) Deut. 31:24-26. So the Gentiles who would become Christ, like (Christians) we find them keeping the Sabbath of the Lord (not Jews) during the apostolic age, Acts 13:44-44 "And when the Jews were gone out the Synagogue the Gentiles besought, that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath" (not Sunday) "Only he who will allow himself to be used as a Cat's Paw, will attempt to fight against God's Holy Sabbath. Truly he makes an explosion of his ignorance upon this question. In, Isaiah 56 (the chapter to which Dr. referred) we read; His watchmen are blind; they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs they cannot bark (or preach the truth) sleeping lying down, loving to slumber. Yea they are greedy dogs. Verses 10-1. The Seventh-day Sabbath is the fourth commandment of the Law of God, Ex 29:7-11. The burnt offerings and sacrifices were commandments of Moses law as stated above. The Gentiles believe that ketel the Sabbath before the coming of Christ must give evidence of their fault, by their offerings, Heb 114: So the Gentile Christians that keep God's Law including the Sabbath, must prove their faith in Christ, not by the blood of bulls and heifers, but by obeying all of His requirements, including the Lord's Supper which commemorates His death, baptism and the memorial of His burial and resurrection. I challenge any man for one text of scripture that will prove the Sabbath of the Lord to be the Sabbath of the Jews. Yours in the name of Christian Kindness. Memoriam.

AFTERMATH OF CHRISTMAS The Laboring Man (Copyright) PRESIDENT TAFT INSPECTS CANAL Visits Panama and Pleased With Progress Made. He Takes a Look At the Fortifications At the Pacific End Of the Canal. The President Also Visits Colonel Goethals. Panama.—Passing the forenoon in inspecting parts of the Panama Canal, President Taft had his Christmas dinner with Percival Dodge, the American minister, and wound up a busy day by attending a ball given in his honor by President Porras, of Panama. President Taft received many cablegrams of greeting during the day from friends in the United States. At the ball the President danced with Genera Porras. The portions of the canal inspected were the central and Pacific divisions, the Culebra cut and the fortifications at the Pacific end. The president expressed satisfaction at the progress that has been made in the great work and manifested a keen interest in every detail. The trip to the Pacific Side of Panama was made on the new Panama Railroad line, with stops at Gold Hill and Paraiso. At Culebra cut the President's visit to Colonel Ogehalte; chief engineer of the canal. On the return trip to the United States it is understood that the battleships Arkansas and Delaware will try for a record. They brought the President down from Key West to Colonel a speed of nearly 38 knots per hour. On the return an attempt will be made to better this. It is said to be the desire of the department at Washington to know the minimum time, in which warships can, sleam from the canal to Hampton Roads. TRANSCONTINENTAL WIRELESS. Washington—for the first time, in history a wireless Christmas greeting was flashed from the Mare Island Navy Yard-on the Pacific coast to Washington. The message was from Captain Mayo, the commandant of the Mare Island Navy Yard, and was received by the giant radio station at Arlington. It conveyed the wishes of Captain Mayo and other officers at the navy yard, to the Secretary, of the Navy and the officers of the Navy and Marine Corps.

Washington—Admiral Dewey was 75 years old Thursday. He told callers at his office in the general boardrooms of the Navy Department, in the Mills Building, that he "feels like an ensign," and most of them came away with the remarks and he looks like one. Delegations from the various offices and divisions of the Navy Department made a steady stream of visitors at the office of the admiral to congratulate him upon his birthday anniversary and to wish him "many happy returns of the day." He was constantly interrupted at his work with his secretaries and aids, finding time to chat with all and he declared that he believed he owed his splendid physical condition to constant riding. Admiral Dewey shares a love for the horse with another hero of the Spanish-American War, General Miles, and the Admiral may frequently be seen by Washingtonians cantering and driving along the bridlepaths and driveways surrounding the Capital. General Miles drives more than he rides. Admiral Dewey was told that his friends were saying he "looked like an ensign." "Well, don't it?" he replied. "I certainly feel like one. And, moreover, I never in my whole life felt any better than I do today. "I should say that any man who begins to ride early, and continues with it throughout his early years, will find in the end that he has invested in a form of physical exercise that will be a great asset to him in his later years. Driving is splendid, too. Getting lots of air is the principal thing. I learned to ride early, in my own State of Vermont. I don't know how early, but have kept on with that exercise, and it has been a great benefit to me. "I remember one day riding with George Bancroft, the historian. He was 80 years old at the time. I asked him to what he ascribed his perfect physical condition at that time and pointed to his horse for answer. "Riding does it," he said. "He was using a single-footer. I like to get up on a horse with a little more action—it shakes me up more" Admiral Dewey's birthday was celebrated informally at night at his home at Sixteenth and K streets with a small family party at dinner and by a drive with Mrs. Dewey. NEW SKYSCRAPER PLANNED New Building in New York To Tower 37 Stories. New York—Plans for a 37-story fireproof building, to house, the Equitable Life Assurance Society were filed here with the bureau of buildings by architects.

The height of the structure will be 485 feet and the face will be of brick, granite, limestone and terra cotta in the Italian renaissance, with four towers, two on the Broadway front and two on the Nassau street side. FLAMES KILL WOMAN SANTA Mother Witnesses Tragedy In a Loulou ville Home. Louisville.-While dressing to play Santa Claus for the children of a neighbor, Mrs. Gus A. Nutman, 38 years old, was burned to death as the result of cotton batting in her costume taking fire from a match with which she intended to start a fire in a stove. The tragedy was witnessed by her mother, Mrs. Ellen McDonough, 80 years old, who is an invalid and could not leave her chair or summon help. WILL ABANDON FORT. Troops Will Leave Post Near Spokane, Washington. Spokane, Wash. — Fort George Wright, near Spokane, virtually will be abonded, according to unofficial information received here. The two battalions of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, now garrisoning the fort, will serve for Hawali on December 30. A half company is expected from Vancouver Barracks to act as prisoners' guards and to police the grounds, but no other troops are expected to replace the Twenty-fifth. KECKIE MOLL DEAD Was Quarterback On Purdue Team In 1911. Madison, Wis. — John E. Moll, known in football circles as Keckle Mall, died at a hospital here after a short illness from typhoid fever. Moll coached the Purdue University, eleven this year. As quarterback on the University of Wisconsin in 1911 he was accorded "all Western" honors by many critics. FIRE CHIEF INJURED. WILL HEAD THE INAUGURAL HOST Major General Wood Selected as Marshal. EXPERIENCE DECIDED MAN. Applications From Organizations So Numerous That Army Man Was Deemed Best For Washington—Major-General Leonard Wood, U. S. A., was appointed grand marshal of the inaugural parade which will escort President Wilson from the Capitol, where he takes the oath of office, to the White House. The selection of General Wood was made because it is anticipated that the procession will be an unusually long one and a trained military man will be needed to organize it. Military organizations from half of the States of the Union, marching clubs, Democratic clubs and civic organizations want a place in the line, and the large number of these applications create a condition that faculty or an army-to-near schilted in assembling large bodies of men. The suggestion had been made that "Big Bill" Edwards, "street commissioner of New York and former Princeton football star, would be acceptable for the chief marshalship. Inaugural Chairman William Corcoran Eustis took the view that time for organizing, for the inauguration, is short, that trained and experienced men in every department must be secured and that, therefore a military man should handle, the formation of the inaugural procession." 97-98 The selection of General Wood probably means that there will be a keen fight for the honor of personal escort for the President Wilson. "The Fifth Maryland Regiment will have to be in its motile to pass muster before General Wood. Other aspirants for this honor are the Virginia Military Cadets of Lexington, Va., and the Newark Rifles. The inaugural chairman, with the advice of the National Democratic Committee and General Wood, will decide what company shall perform this duty. The President-elect's wishes will also be consulted. "Controllious to detray expenses for the unofficial ceremonies incident to the inauguration are pouring into Chairman Thom's hands." Four Chairmanships Filled. Mr. Eustis also filled the four remaining vacant chairmanships as follows: Legislative committee, George E. Hamilton; souvenirs and tickets, J. H. de Sibour; ballroom decorations, Walter G. Peters; auditing, Captain James F. Oyster. WILSON'S XMAS IN BED President-Elect Has a Cold—Gifts Come By. Wagonloads. Princeton, N.

THOY 11/11/11 11:00 Narrowly Escape. UMBRELLA CARRIER KILLED. A Tragedy Mars the Entry In State Of The Vicregal Party Into Delhi, the New Capital. Delhi, India, the Vicregal and Vicerulee of India, Baron and Baroness Hardware, miraculously escaped assassination by a native fanatic while making their ceremonial entry into Delhi, the new imperial capital of India. Three splinters of the powerful bomb which killed one native attendant and injured another, penetrated the black and shoulder of the Viceroy, and he was also wounded in the neck by the screws with which the bomb was killed and which passed through his helmet. The doctors and removed the metal splinters from the wound declared at marvelous that the Viceroy escaped fatal injuries. Lady Hardinge, immediately after the explosion, asked her husband if he was hurt. The Viceroy replied, "I am all right; go on." Lady Hardinge then said: "We cannot. There is a dead man behind." The elephant on which they were riding halted, and the Viceroy tried to stand up, but reeled and falted, and the officials who gathered around had much difficulty in removing him from the elephant's back. The howdan in which he and Lady Hardinge had been seated was bloomed into matchwood. The Viceroy will soon be able to leave the hospital for the viceregal lodger. The umbrella-bearer who was killed had injured in that capacity for Lord Curtzob. A reward of 10,000 rupees (approximately $3,300) has been offered for the arrest of the bomb throwers. An official report of the injuries to Baron Hardinge issued by his surgeon says that a portion of the projective struck him at the back of the right shoulder and along the inner border of the shoulder blade. It passed upward and issued through the skin along the upper line of the shoulder, causing a wound four inches long and exposing the muscles and bones. There was no injury done to the Viceroy's lungs. Other fragments of the bomb caused slight wounds on the neck. There was a moderate loss of blood, the shock was severe and some deafness was caused by the explosion. Baron Hardinge lost consciousness, but soon recovered and is now resting fairly comfortably. WANT HOWE'S MONEY. Brotherhood Welfare League 'Asks Him To Turn Over Fortune. St. Louis, Mo.—The standing of James Eads How as a hobo has been brought into question by his Brotherhood Welfare League, which he founded, and demand was, made on him to give his fortune of $75,000 to the organization to prove his sincerity. Howe stood on the platform and smiled as the association passed the resolution calling on him to give up his all. "I will consult my lawyers. Perhaps I shall do as-you suggest," said How. A few minutes later Howe declared he would prove that he is a true hobo by beating his way around the country. DOES NOT WANT TO BE KING. New Bavarian Regent Prefers To Retain That Title. Munich, Bavaria—Prince Ludwig, the new prince regent of Bavaria, sent an autograph letter to the Bavarian premier vetoing the movement to place him on the throne as king. He declares that he desires loyalty to administer the inheritance bequeathed to him by his father. Therefore, in view-of-the popular movement in regard to the regency—the expresses categorically his desire that nothing should be done for the present in the matter. OFFERS STOCK TO EMPLOYES. Steel Corporation Continues Profit-sharing Plan. New York—The United States Steel Corporation, purging to its print-sharing plan inaugurated in 1903, will offer to its employees the privilege of subscribing to preferred and common shares on the "basis" of $109 for the preferred and $66 for the common. A year ago the "subscription prices were $110 and $65, respectively. HAD THE MORAL EFFECT. Presence Of Battleship New Hampshire At Santo Domingo. Washington—The battleship New Hampshire, which was hurried, to Santo Domingo City, when it appeared that the lately quelled revolution might break out anew, is now enroute to Norfolk, her presence in Dominican waters having had the expected fimoral effect! J. J. I. Understood, Are the Regulations Under Which Battles of Today Are Fought. War—that is, warfare between civilized nations—has its code of etiquette, which is the customs of war, some of which are written, others say London Answers, tacitly agreed to. Obvious examples of fighting etiquette are the rules, which protect the Red Cross flag of the ambulance and forbid the use of explosive, within limits, expanding bullets. Nominally, the general may use any means in his power to bring his foe to law enforcement that there is a well-defined boundary line. A leader may cut off his enemy's food and water supplies. He may subject him to all the horrors of famine and thirst; but he must not oblige his food or water. Suppose a place is besieged, and that outside the walls are wells which the besiegers cannot effectively hold, and which the besieged can reach under cover of night. The besieger would be justified in sending parties to fill up the wells with earth and stones, or to destroy them with dynamites, on the other hand to pollute the wells with poison or to throw dead animals into them, would be an infamy. A "prisoner of war" has his rights. He may be asked to give his parole to promise not to escape, but he must not be forced to give his parole, and is not to be punished for refusing to do so. A prisoner is liable to be shot, either when escaping or if retaken alive. An unparoled prisoner may also be shot while in the act of escaping; but if recaptured, it would be murder to shoot him, and he should not be punished for his attempt, though he may be placed in more rigorous confinement. A prisoner may be compelled to earn his "keep" by working at his trade; if he has one, or by doing work for his captors not of a purely military nature. Thus, he may be ordered to assist in draining the camp in which he is a prisoner; but it would not be fair to put him to build fortifications. The customs of war justify the employment of spies but under certain rules. If a soldier voluntarily turns traitor, the other side is entitled to make use of him, but it is not "cricket" to tempt a soldier to betray his own side. If then tempted—a man may pretend to turn traitor and deceive the enemy with false information. On the other hand, voluntarily to go over to the enemy, pretending to be a traitor or deceiver, would be dishonorable conduct—that is, if the pretended traitor is an officer or soldier. A spy, of course, has no rights, and is at all times liable to be shot or hanged at sight. An officer or soldier, however, caught in the enemy's camp, must not be treated as a spy, but as a prisoner of war, provided he is not disguised. If a commander takes part in a charge, or persistently exposes himself to fire, he must take his chance of being shot; but in big affairs it is not the "game" to detail marksmen to try to "plick off" your opponent's general, though every effort may be made to capture him. When a city or town is bombarded public buildings—unless used for defensive purposes—should be spared so far as possible. When a plato is captured, the victorious foe is entitled to seize art treasures and so on and to hold them to raisun. To injure or destroy them would be the act of a vandal. When a country is invaded, the invader can compel the inhabitants to supply him with food and other supplies and to act as guilders, workmen and drivers. A person who, not belonging to any recognized military force, takes up arms against an invader, is liable to be shot when captured. Retaliation is canonized by the customs of war. It is military revenge, and takes place when an outrage commons on one side is avenged by the commissary of a similar act on the other. Thus, an unjust execution of prisoners held by the enemy may be followed by the execution of an equal number of prisoners held by the opponents. Notes from the Basswood Bugle.

"Well," rejoined the demoralizer, "If I was going to be ruined at all, I'd prefer prosperity to do it." Fizz 1 city of the pure white fragrant flowers are used every year at fashionable ceremonies and yet not many people seem to know. When they all come from. As a matter of fact, nearly all the orange blossoms which come to London are grown in the south of France, a few miles inland from the coast line of the Riviera, says the Daily News of that city. Here, where the sheltered valleys of the Alps, many times heckling in the sand, are found the orchards, where comes the supply of blossoms for British weddings. Of course, a large proportion of the orange flower is used in the manufacture of that perfume for which Grasse has become so famous, but many growers make a special feature of supplying sprigs for the marriage ceremony. None of these trees are permitted to bear fruit and the greatest possible care is taken over the cultivation, so as to insure an abundance of blossoms. When in full flower the trees present a most tractive appearance, the dark eten green foliage showing up in fine contrast to the gleaming white petals. It is one of the peculiar habits of the orange tree, that it will remain in flower for a considerable part of the year, thus the owner of a well managed orchard can at almost all times find a few blossoming shoots. 2 During the spring and early summer the orchard trees are most full of blooms and it is then that the largest quantities are dispatched. All day long the pickers are at work in the orchards. Curious stepladders are used so that the gatherer may be able to reach all parts of the trees. The orange flowers are going along journey and on this account it is needful to pick them before they are fully expanded. Happily they keep well for a long time, and the blooms will be nice and fresh when they are unpacked thirty six hours later in the florist's shop. After being kept in the dark, cool place, with their stems in warm water, for a few hours the petals will expand beautifully, and be ready for use. CC Orange flower growing is possibly one of the most flourishing industries in the world, in that the demand always exceeds the supply. Any superfluous blooms which a grower may have are always greedily swallowed up by the scent makers, whose wants can never be fully met. Most of the orchards are owned by small holders and in many cases these have been retained in the family for a large number of years. Thus, it is not an easy thing for a newcomer to be able to secure an orchard save on the rare occasions when these are offered for sale. The starting of an orange orchard is a very slow business, as the trees are not quick growers and it is some time before anything in the way of crops can be expected. A new phenomenon has been observed by Professor Right to which he gives the name of long-magnetic rotation. If a spark from a condenser of considerable capacity is sent horizontally through a gas and two small vertical vanes of mica, in the form of a cross are suspended in the middle of the discharge by a fine fiber attached to the center of the cross, the spark produces no rotation of the cross. If, however, a vertical magnetic field is established in the axis the cross rotates through a considerable angle if the gas is air, and over a small angle in other gases. Professor Right ascribes this rotation to the bending of the paths of the ions or electrons and to the additional protection which the vanes afford each other against impacts from one side rather than from the other in these circumstances. The observed relations indicate that the effects of the positive ions are in general greater than those of the negative. Ancient Builders Eclipse. The pyramids of Egypt would not be the type of permanence they are now they exposed to the viciousides of the American-climate. At the annual meeting of the Modern Historic Records association it was stated that the ancients are eclipsed by the modern in storing records. We have better methods with cement and granite and steel we can build to last indefinitely. We are more careful than the architects of the mediaeval cathedrals in planting our foundations, and more skilled than the Roman in constructing canvases and roofs. There is no reason why a building prefected with proper care should not endure, forever, act of Providence aside, and shelter indefinitely whatever may be stored in it. Where Casey Belonged John E.

"Three of them belong to the Donna cratio party," she said, "and the other belongs to the fire department."

Paris.—There have been several cases of long sleep quite apart from the celebrated persons of Ephesus and Rip Yan Winkie. One of the most remarkable was the long sleep of a German government official named Arnheim, who had an accident in which his head was injured in 1904, falling asleep, was still unconscious four years afterwards and may be sleeping still But the most interesting example was that of a woman, Caroline Olsson, lying in the little island of Okuo, off the coast of Sweden, who fell asleep in 1875 and did not wake up till 1907. Dodger J. Broderstrom I of the Saltpetrere asylum, in this city, had made a detailed examination of her experience, and has published the result of his inquiries in the asylum journal. It seems that "the sleeper of Okuo" was born in 1861. The first fourteen years of her life were passed in perfect health although extraneous difficulties prevented her from attending school. It was not until just before her fourteenth birthday anniversary that she received any schooling. At the following Christmas she fell ill. On the all-eventual day she came home from the school, which was three miles off, and complained of trouble and indignation and was put to bed. A very few hours later she fell into a trenant uttered n-word, seemed to their nothing and showed no trace of feeling anything when needles and such things were run into her armisis. For thirty years and more, according to her mother's evidence, Caroline remained in this condition, without a sign of change. Only once, in reply to the despairing cry of her mother for a prayer, did she pray her illness and say, "Jesus, have mercy on me!" Some three or four times did the invalid leave for a moment her bed on which all the rest of the time she lay in a crowning posture with the bedstones drawn up over her head. It is said that her whole nourishment consisted of two cups of milk a day when her mother died Caroline must have been conscious to some extent to the fact, for she burst into tears, though otherwise no change was no trouble in her condition. After the mother died she was undertook the charge of the sleeping girl and her foods but after two years he was drowned, and this sad event occasioned a second hit or violent weeping. The care of her then devolved upon a housekeeper, and Caroline seemed to have shown more intelligence and sharpness in noticing her presence. It began to be noticed that her hair was always kept tidy and that her nails did not exceed the usual length. At the result of experiment in leaving her alone for some hours of the day a suspicion arise that her trance could not have been so complete, and unbroken as formerly. At last there was no doubt about it. Food disappeared mysteriously. A- few- moths- tater- Cafoline- sud- denly- asked- for- her- mother- and- when her brothers hurried- to her side- one waved them away, saying: "You were the best brothers; they were quite like brothers that moment she was very atoning.

She remembered every detail of her early life, but showed a great reluctance to speak about her illness. FINDS "THAT KID OF MINE" Father in Search of Six-Year-Old Son Sdriver Mystery at Underkner's Shop. Chicago.—"If you see that kid of mine around here, start him home. He's been away all afternoon. Said he was going over to his grandmother and here I meet her on the street and she hasn't seen anything of the scamp." Clem Harpling, a teamster living at 42 Harryth we were talking to his friend, Patrolman "Billy" Blikins, the other mgt at Hasted street and North avenue. The policeman "His sister" arrived. He stared to say something, but evidently changed his mind. "You might, ask about him in Ellison's," he said soberly as he walked away. Harpling opened the door of Ellison's undertaking rooms on the same corner and asked: "See you mphing on that boy of mine?" A silhouette followed the father's casual injury. The wab went into a back room. The body of a boy lay on a table. It was Harvey Harpling, six years old. The boy was run over and killed by a street car in front of 1629 North Hasted street. Considers Tax, on Foreigners Paris, France. The municipal council is considering the imposition of a tax of five per cent on the amount of rent paid, whether at hotels or private houses, on all foreigners residing here for more than three months. It is estimated that the tax will produce $700,000 annually. ```markdown ``` IT IS SO A WONDERFUL PLACE TO STAND WITH THE FAMILY WHO WERE SURPRISED BY THE WONDERFUL PLACE WITH THE FAMILY WHO WERE SURPRISED BY THE WONDERFUL PLACE WITH THE FAMILY WHO WERE SURPRISED The Views Given Above-Show a Road in Beaver-County, Pennsylvania, Before Improvements Were Begun and the Road After Completion.

After hard or prolonged rains, roads which have been constructed with a flat surface often gullied in the center or on the road was well crowned the gutters or ditches are DISCUSS A DULUTH HIGHWAY Three enthusiastic good roads boomers from Duluth met the other day with the St. Paul Association of Commerce to enlist the help of that organization in a systematic campaign for obtaining a modern highway from the twin cities to Duluth. Minneapolis is expected to help also and in short time, the Olyce Commerce association and the Minneapolis Automobile club will be called into the movement. The conference was informal and no action was taken, beyond an assurance, by the St. Paul men that they would join hands with the state, the counties and the local communities in the plans of the Duluth men. The latter realize that while the twin cities and Duluth will derive the greatest benefit from the proposed highway, the bulk of the cost will fall on the counties Lyndale, Green Worthing, Chicago, and Pine, and they purpose first to carry on a systematic campaign of education, through a series of county meetings and conferences at which an effort will be made to prove to these counties that the road will be worth more to them than with older than under the Giffen act. Residents of Sanctone and reported to be enthusiastic over the highway idea because they are satisfied that such a road could furnish a good road for local transportation, will attract a heavy automobile traffic both ways from which every city and village will profit. BRIAN RODGE Agricultural Editor, North Dakota Agricultural Collegia, one of the needs of country life is a better social life. It has been found that good roads are conducive to an edifl-life of the farms. When the road is good it is an easy matter to hitch up and drive, over to the neighbors, to church, to the picnic, to the entertainment, at the schoolhouse. The good road is also followed by a better school and better home. The better road also makes the community more attractive and the better class of people will want to live there. The good road also makes it possible to market the farm produce more easily and cheaply, and at all times of the year. These things result in the good road making the land worth more. The good road is to, the farm, what the fallroad is to the city. Proof M. L.

Sanitary Sections Wash May Be Effectively Stopped by Use of Two-inch Planks-Clay Road Requires Different Treatment. After hard or prolonged rains, roads which have been constructed with a flat surface are often guttled in the gutter, or the road was well crowned, the sutters or ditches are usually badly washed. As a rule, the damage is more extensive and lighter than on level stretches. This is because the damage in general depends on the velocity of water and this course, is controlled by the steepness of the slope, says the Fritch Grower and Farmer. If the water cuts ditches very deep, it might be advisable to reduce the grade of the road, if possible, either by cutting down the summit or filling at the foot of the hill, or both. It must be remembered this is likely to be economical in the end even if the first coat seems high, since it will not only save on future maintenance, but will decrease theractive force required to pull it load at this point. There are, however, many grades that cannot be changed, because of local conditions. In sandy sections, the wash may be effectively stopped by two-inch planks from six to twelve inches wide, and cut into three-foot sections. These short planks are sharpened on one end, and then enough of them to cover three feet in width of the gutter or ditch are driven in edge to edge for a depth of more than three feet, at right angles to the grade of the road. If they are driven in a little more than rush with the gutter, there is no danger of the road machine of drag striker them. In a clay section, it is practically impossible to drive a plank three feet without splintering it. The method of construction is entirely different from that described for sandy sections. Old logs or railroad ties. If they can be secured, are batted under these conditions. They should first be cut into four foot lengths. Trenches then are sunk in the gutters at right angles to the road, and the tie or log is placed in the trench. Where the wash is severe, several loops placed directly over each other, like the flashboard in a dam. The top log or tie is placed at least four inches below the gutter in order to prevent it from coming in contact with a road drag or road machine in operation. The ties or logs are buried from 20 to 60 feet apart, according to the grade of the hill, and it is an easy matter to insert one whenever required. The chief advantage gained by this use of logs or planks is that deep and dangerous attaches which are not only a machete to travel, but also make the road narrow, are removed. When the planks of logs are used, the entire width of the road can be used by the public, and the road is always safe. Many sand beds that are bad at all seasons can be improved by mixing clay with sand by means of a plow and harrow and then using the road energy sustainably. On the other hand, many clay sections that are bad in wet weather can be improved by first plowing and then mixing in sand by means of the harrow, and finally using the road drag. The truth of the matter is that with a King drag and a plow a skillful man can do anything that can be done with a big four-horse road grader, and for all around work it is much better as well as many times cheaper.
