The first day’s conference will be given to Negro farmers. As stated in the program, the subject for discussion is: ‘How to secure Cheaper Money for Running the Farm.” This puts the problem of ogricultural credit in terms that the Negro farmer understands and is interested in. Representative Negro farmers from Georgia, Aia- bama, Mississippi, Louisiane and Arkansas will describe the present condition of the Negro farmer in the states from which they come and the present method of obtain- ing loans, rates of interest and so forth. Individual farmers will tell how they have succeeded in reduc- ing the principal and rates of in- terests upon their yearly loans. R. L. Smith of Waco, Texas, who is the head of 1 Negro Farm- ers’ Co-operative Association in that state which has established a bank, will discuss the Subject of Co-operative Credit and the suc- cess of the Texas farmers in cut- ting down the ite:n of interest in the farmer's annual budget. Charles Banks cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, Mississip- pi, which supplies a large share of the funds necessary to conduct ‘the agricultural operations of the farming community of which the little Negro town of Mound Bayou is the center, will discuss the ques- tion from the point of view of the man who makes the loans. One of the features of the day’s proceedings will be the exhibits showing some of the results of the Demonstration Farming Work be- ing done in the several counties adjoining Tuskegec Institute where the demonstration method of teach- ing farmers has been in operation. ‘The reports of the Demonstration Agents will be followed by a dis- tribution of prizes to the corn clubs orzanized and conducted in these counties. The second day's session of the conférence is the meeting of teach- ers, principals, school trustees and others actively interested in school work. The subject for disenssion as stated by the program commit- tee is: How to secure more money for the public schools. ‘Teachers and principals of schools in Mis- sissippi, etiessee, Alabama and Georgia will describe the present condition of the schools in gtheir home communities and the various means employed by the county school teachers to secure the inter- estof white planters, county school ‘superintendants and others in meeting the needs of the Negro schools. ‘They will also report up- on the extent to which the Negro farmers are taxing themselves in order to improve the school build- ‘ing and lengthen the school term hea Lontinued on Page Four,» Ss — Q gf A PRACTICAL STEP IN THE RACE PROBLEM. | An Appreciation of the Work of the Rev.Richard Bright. (By E. B. Beckwith). ed, two-room basement on Harris street, east, one of the noblest struggles for the elevation of a race is being carried on of which our country affords an example Unostentatiously, quietly, with- out the solicited aid of any in the community outside of bis own parish, the Rev. Richard Bright, rector of St. Stephen’s Church, colored, has for nearly twenty years devoted himself, his time and his energy to the splendid upbuild- ing of his own people. With « clear-sightedness which challenges the admiration of all who have given any thought to the difficult task which he has un- dertaken; in the face of traditions and problems calculated to stagger any but the most courageous, he has gone to work to regenerate bis race and make them not only an earnest, Christian peoplé but good, honest, and self-respecting Citi- zens. ‘These are the ideals Pastor Bright has placed before his con- gregation and toward which he helps them strive. Sanely, and with great clearness of vision, he has begun with the children. Immediately after en- tering upon his parochial duties he established a kindergarten, the first to become permanent in thr city. A few private ones hati been started at different times, but had proven shortli¥ed- And then a free kindergarten was attempted by some of the gentlemen and Ia- dies of the city, but even this could not hold against the senti- ment of indifference and increduli- ‘ty with which'it was regarded. Fortunately such conditions did not confront this man, for he created the atmosphere in which he worked and controlled the sen- timent of those about bim. As the children outgrew the kinder- garten stage it became necessary, or at least Richara Bright deemed it so, to establish a primary de- partment in order to hold the children that much longer under an influence both salutary , and helpful. At present the school numbers something more than eighty pupils, ranging from the tiniest up to the boys and girls of ten or twelve years of age, when they are prepared. to enter the third gradé of the public schools. Besides this, all during these im- pressionable years, when the soil of achild’s nature receives eagerly whatever seed may be cast upon it and develops them according to their quality, betit good or bad, these little ones are being care- fally trained and familiarized with the work ofa practical.and useful kind. On certain days of the week bedroom work, such xs dusting. making up beds ete., is the pro- gramine. On other days diminu- tive tables are spread and they are tauglit to serve, to wash dishes and answer the door bell. Clothes are washed in diminutive tubs, while cooking and sewing are im- portant features of the course. Formerly, Iam told, there was a manual training department for boys, but, I believe, this no longer exists. All of these departments go side by side with a regular school cur- riculum, including bible studies of abroad and fundamental kind. The back room of this base- ment. which is also the better lighted of the two, opens upon a small back yard, the play ground of these eighty children. ~ The large public square in front of St. Stephen's Church (at the back of which is this little school room) would seem to be tke right and proper place for so many children to tuke their recreation, but find- ing while there that the little ones were subjected to both insults and indignities from ‘the rough element of white children who use to play in the square, and recognizing that. self-respect was necessary to the proper growth of character, Pas- tor Bright feared the embittering. effect of such treatment ‘npon_ his pupils and wisely withdrew them | from the more open and attractive play ground to-the little back Ist Bryan Baptist Church Begins Week of Rejoicing CENTURY AND QURTER MARK TO BECELEBRATED WITH FIT- TING EXERCISES JAN. 15-21.

The name of this church was the old Jerusalem Baptist church, which was sub- sequently changed to the First Bryan Baptist church in recogni- tion of its first pastor, Rev, Andrew Bryan, under which name it has continued to the present day. Perhaps there is no congrega- tion in the country which can boast ef better attendance than that of the First Bryan Baptist church and the financial condition of this body is excellent- It not only en- joys the privilege of being clear of indebtedness but for the past few yearshas hada bank account in excess of a thousand dollars. The membership of the church is three thonsehd seven hundred and sixty- ve. The church has been served by eleven pastors, the average being eleven years.

Rosen- wald’s offer of $2,50¢ a year for a part of the current expenses of Fisk University. which the Board of trustees are finding increasingly hardto raise. The conditions of a five year annual offer of $2,500 was made by*Mr. Julius N. Rosen- wald of Chicago, to tae University about.a year ago as follows: ““} will, for a term of five years, be one of four persons who will contribute to Fisk University $2.500 per annum. Or I will give $2,500 annually for five years, as soon as you have found persons who will contribute the balunce of a $10,000 annual fund for thesame term, no contributions to be less than $1,000 per annum; further, that these adldjtional subscriptions must all come’from new subscrib- ersor udditional subscriptions from former subscribers; further, that the full amount of these~ pledges must be received snd the first pay- ment made during the year 1912.” The trustees have been making strenuous efforts for two years to raise a fund of $500,000 to pay off accumulated indebtedness, make nece¢ssary repairs on the plant, and leave a balance for endowment. Nearly two-thirds of the amount bave been raised, $60,000 being offered by the General Education Board, $25,000 by J.

GRAND DUCHESS VLADIMIR ON A PUZZLING ERRAND There 1s much speculation regard- ing the read object of the recent visit to London of the Grand Duch- ess Vladimir. Be- Ing an aunt of the Russian czar, her mission naturally 1s supposed to have great im- portance,although announced unofil- cially.

Vladimir had her second son, Grand Duke Boris, with her, and some presume he was brought to England with matchmaking intent, and the fact that the gay young man (as New York can tes- try) conducted himself in an exem- plary manner, hardly leaving his mother’s side, leads to the inference that the mother fancies Princess Mary might be available for bis wife. The very thought of that match would be enorgh to make Queen Mary's hair stand on end. But the more probable assumption fs that the grand duchess’ main ob- Ject in going to London fs in the In- terest of her eldest son, Grand Duke Cyril, who is already by marriage in ‘the British royal family. | MRS.

After something more ‘than a year of operation, this govern: /ment venture gives Indication of need. ing a Federal appropriation to make it come out even. Its hope of inde pendence lies in the future. Theodore L, Weed, director of the postal savings system, thinks the system will be self- fupporting when the deposits aggre gate $10,000,000. The deposits now aggregate close to $28,000,000. One of the important questions about the inauguration of any new government service, especially one which is more or less paternalistic in nature, {s whether it 1s Ilkely to be come a burden upon the federal treas- ury: The attempt of the responsible off. cialg, like Mr. Weed, has undoubtedly been to establish a postal savings sys- tem which may be conducted with rea sonable economy. It is claimed, for Instance, that the American system has been greatly simplified by the elimination of pass books. However economically the system may be conducted, It {s not difficult to perceive the certainty of a deficit, at least for the immediate future. The entire income of the postoffice depart. ment from the postal savings system is derived from the 2% per cent. inter- gsm i eS Crepe a Ps EEE gant Ew as SP stp taal b Adi be - he eo a eee a ae ge ect eed ae cas merle 2 est paid by the banks upon deposits of funds. Of all the funds deposited with the pogtoffice department, 95 per cent. is turned over to the banks; 5 per-cent. is kept as a working balance. The government pays individual de: positors 2 per cent. interest, The net Income of the department fs thus a Uttle less than one-half of 1 per cent. of the total deposits: Upon the pres- ent aggregate deposits of $28,000,000, therefore, the government's net in- come is less than $140,000. This net income {s doubtless more than consumed by the clerical force employed in this city. The average salaries of government clerks is In ex- cess of $1,000 a year, and ft is safe to say that the salaries paid to Wash- ington employees in the postal sav- ings system are upwards of $160,000 in the aggregate, which, in Itself, cre- ates an aparent deficit of a little more than $20,000 a year. Probably other charges ought in fairness to be made against the postal savings system. Great expense 1s involved in producing the necessary stamps and certificates. That the postal savings system has met a public need there can be no question. The deposits continue to grow at the rate of 6 to 8 per cent. a month, at which rate it will not be many years before the aggregate on deposit will exceed $100,000,000—the figure at which the system is supposed to become self-supporting. The his- tory of such government enterprises, however, is that thé expense increases -unexpectedly, and it is open to ques. tion whether, upon the present in- come, the postal savings system can ever become self-supporting, . Taking the Ocean’s Temperature Among the records of the hydro- graphic office in Washington are some five and onehalf milifons of memoranda of the temperature of sea water in all parts of the world and at all seasons. They have been noted and sent in by mariners for the last 60 years. Twice as many such notes are stored in Hamburg, besides millions elsewhere. The tabulation of them, supplemented dy observations of a more scfentifle sort upon tem. peratures at various depths, have Deen of decided value to navigation as well as of theoretic Interest. ‘The comparative warmth, ag well as the onward flow of the Gulf stream, ‘was noted by some of the earliest voy- agers to this alde of the Atlantic; and the restless curiosity of Benjamin Franklin led him to make as careful observations upon it on his trips to and from Europe as his means per mitted. His common sense saw how helpful this current might be to. ahips, and he urged captains to use the thermometer to ascertain whem they reached It and to enable them to keep within its influence when going east or to steer clear of it In coming: west _ “Lieutenant Maury,_who was the founder of hydrographic sclence, used such temperature memoranda as were available in his examination of ocean currents. By following his directions shipmasters of half a century ago shortened the voyage between North America and England by ten days, that from New York to California by about 45 days, and that from England to Australia and back by two months. Helland Hansen, the Norwegian geo- grapher, ‘declares that the profit from the use of Maury’s charts by British owners on the East Indla route alone ‘amounted to $10,000,000 yearly.

Woman’s Power at Washington Shown in Many Ways Only those who have given the sub~ Ject close consideration and have been familiar with St personally can -have- even a remote idea of the power of ‘the women connected with a presi~ dential administration, meaning the ‘wives of the president, vice-president and the cabinet officers. This power of the women first began to be marked {n President Andrew Jack- son’s time; and It has continued al- most unabated up to (he present hour. It fs an unseen power. It is not pro~ claimed from the house tops. It con- tributed, according to the best au- thorities, to the downfall of Benja- min Harrison's administration. It takes some time for the wives of the cabinet officers to reach a fair footing with the wives of the presi dent and vice-president and among themselves. They come from differ- ent sections of the country and must accustom themselves to a vastly dif- ferent environment, the official life of Washington. In a thousand little ways and in as many’big ways they can make or niar, help or hurt, hasten: or retard the policy of a president's administration.

Coal Supply to Last Thousands of Years. The known coal fields of the United States embrace a total area, according to the United States geological survey, about 32,000 square miles, to which may be added something more than 160,000 square miles of which little is known,~but which may contain work- able coal, and about 32,000 square miles where the coal Iles under heavy cover, and is not considered available under present conditions. z The supply of coal before mining began {a estimated to have beer 3,076,204,000,000 short tons, of whick 1,922,979,000,000 tons were believed'to be easily accessible and 1,153,225,000,- 000 short tons to be either so deep or the beds so thin that they are ac- cessible only with difficulty. Classi- fied according to the character of the coal, the original supply consisted of 21,000,000,000 ‘short tons of anthra- cite, 1,661,457,000,000 tons of bitu- minous coal, 650,157,000,000 tons of subbituminous coal and 743,590,000,000 tons of lignite, the supply of bitu- minous coal being somewhat more than that of all other grades com- bined. ‘The total production of coal to the close of 1911 has amounted to 2,270.~ 798,737 short tons of anthracite.and 6,- 468,773,690 tons of dituminous coal, or an ‘aggregate of 68,739,572,427 tons. ‘This total production to the close of 1911 represents, inéluding the waste of coal mining, an exhaustion of the beds equal to 14,181,980,090 short tons, ‘or something less than 0.5 per cent. of. the original supply. In other words, ‘the quantity of coal still remaining to be mined amounts to 3,062,022,020,000 | short tons, or a little more than 99.5 ‘per cent. of the original supply. The ‘annual rate of exhaustion at the pres- ent time as represented by the produc- tion in 1910 and 1911 1s .025 per cent. of the supply. The quantity of coat still In the ground at the close of 1910 was 6,000 times the production of that year, or, estimating a half ton of coal lost for every ton recovered, the sup- ply 1s equivalent to 4,000 times the present annual rate of exhaustion.

First, we must admit the humiliating and somewhat anomalous fact that the negro would rather trade or do business with anybody else on earth than with a negro. Why? Probably the correct answer lies in the fact that he was for two and a half centuries a slave and because of his having emerged from that condition only yesterday so to speak. He has never yet learned the dynamic force of massed dollars, massed strength or purpose, nor has he the inclination to think comprehensively regarding race welfare or even of his children's welfare. This, too, traces back to slavery. Now, why is the New York negro so much more of a delinquent with respect to patronizing race enterprises than is his Houston brother? Is it not largely due to difference in environment? Would the Houston negro, or the southern negro be any better than the northern negro in this respect if he were not forced by surrounding circumstances to be so? After all, does he possess any more race pride and race loyalty than the northern negro? Isn't it a fact—a damning fact—that nine-tenths of the negro business enterprises in the south, including restaurants, would be forced to the wall if the white man were to relax in his prejudices and discriminations? Of course he's not going to do so, and we're not at all sorry that he's not. The rigor of this prejudice and discrimination and universal disdain toward the negro is developing in him many of those sterling virtues of which slavery robbed him.—Dallas Express. We are glad that the Houston Negro is different from his New York brother. In New York when a Negro wants a glass of beer, he goes to a white saloon. If he is not properly treated in the first saloon he goes to another white saloon, and keeps it up until he finally gets a glass from a white saloon. There are Negro saloons in old New York, but they just manage to pay rent. The average northern negro will walk ten blocks out of his way to spend a dollar where he is not welcomed, and the well dressed fool will not patronize his own business, though it is next door to him.—The Houston Progress. The bright days are the ones we remember the longest. Wherever we read of a group of negroes elsewhere than in negro towns there is this trace of a disillination on his part to do business with his own people. Always it is the desire to get away—away from the race in every way possible. Had not the white man set up innumerable barriers against us, there would be small hopes for us as a race. But by reason of those barriers we're turned back upon ourselves and in the phrase of Macbeth, "We're tied to the stake and bear-like must fight the course." It is said that one reason why Moses kept the children of Israel forty years in the wilderness was to bring about that race consciousness, race solidarity, which Egyptian slavery had effaced. Let us hope that one great purpose runs through all the ages. A college professor who can translate Greek, Syriac and read Sanscrit without spectacles nearly lost his life because he could not climb down a fire. escape; yet some men still deny that higher education fits a man for action. There are some who contend that the life of the grapevine is longer than that of the oak. It is rare that a wild grapevine is found that has died of old age. Pliny mentions a vine 600 years old. There is a vine at Hampton Court, England, planted in 1769, while here in America there is a wild grapevine on the shores of Mobile bay, within a mile of Daphne, Ala., commonly known as the "General Jackson" vine, more than six feet in circumference at its base. There is a grapevine in Carpenteria, Col., under which more than 800 persons may stand. Its trunk is eight feet in diameter at the base and it has borne as high as ten tons of fruit. It is said that this vine was planted in 1842. Boston frames a humiliating indictment against us. She calls her trot-tea "pre-payment cars." When you can not think of anything else to do, think of how much you have to be thankful for. There are people who expect to step into heaven on the old shoes they send to the rummage sale. When we find out what God is able to do for us we know what he is willing to do. The man who will go out of his way to kick a dog isn't desired anywhere. Some while back (writes a Cairo, Egypt, correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette) it was announced that a little worm had been discovered which was a deadly enemy of the redoubtable cotton worm and invariably devoured it. Apropos of this the following is rather amusing: The editors of the Mokattam, hearing that specimens of this little pest had been found on their cotton estates, caused three of them to be sent to them in Caire, so that the authorities might examine them. The specimens were sent off from Benha in a sealed box, which duly reached its destination intact. Judge of their astonishment when, on opening the box, only one specimen remained; there was absolutely no trace of the other two, so there could be but one conclusion—l. e., that the solitary inmate had eaten up it's two companions. This was confirmed by the "postmortem" examination, and now the question presents itself as to whether the alleged devourer of the cotton worm will, when bred in quantities, as the authorities intended to do, continue to show its "cannibal" tendencies and so defeat its own end, or whether it will afford the assistance to the cotton worm campaign which, before this little episode, the agricultural authorities claimed for and expected from it. We should like to see a picture of the man who can always please himself and his wife at the same time. Trees in watersheds have a beneficial effect, according to the last annual report of the board of water commissioners of Middleton, Conn., in which it is recommended that 46,725 trees be set out at Higby reservoir. The benefits to be derived from a growth of trees on the watershed of the reservoir are said to be the following: The roots of the trees hold the soil and to a great extent prevents its wash into the reservoir; the leaves and twigs that fall form a covering on the ground that protects the soil from the wash of the rainfall; they also absorb a large quantity of water and let it flow off gradually to the reservoir, thus continuing to be a benefit to a water supply for a long time and after a cleared land would be dry; the foliage of the trees forms a canopy which serves to lessen the effect of evaporation upon the surface of the ground. Success seldom comes to a man until late in the game. By the time he is in a position to get all the pie he wants he is a dyspotic. The man that is always so anxious to avoid his own people in public places; the one that refuses to live in localities populated by his own color; the business man that neglects to patronize his colored brother who is in business, are all made to feel the snubs, insults and scorns of the white man he would ape, and made to plainly feel that so far as he (the white man) is concerned he has nothing for the black man other than to get his money at a great per cent of profit and a higher rate of interest and sometimes even his money is not wanted. It is time that colored people stood together at all times on all issues and conditions. No one is fit to be called a man who is ashamed of his race. It is absolutely imperative that we stop and reason on the adage, "In union there is strength," and get together and stay together.—The Detroit Leader.

BATTLE OF PEACHES Note in Jar of Preserves Brings Lover of Old Back to Sweetheart. (Copyright, 1912, by W. G. Chapman.) People said that old Rogers was a miser, but that statement was incorrect. Rogers had been a miser. He had scraped and hoarded during thirty years of labor, so that now, though he was barely fifty years of age, he looked older. But Rogers had retired three months before, thanks to some wisely made investments, and now, with fifteen thousand dollars at his disposal, he was still living on in his little two-room flat on the East Side of New York, and trying to stretch his cramped imagination and plan his life anew. Bitterly he regretted that he was an old bachelor without a friend or wife, sweetheart or child. His few acquaintances were men whom he had known casually in business, and the district tradesmen and sundry old fellows whom he met twice a week at his chess club over the delicatessen store on Thirteenth street. But Rogers had lived his life exactly as he had planned it, and that is an incredible misfortune which deserves the utmost sympathy. When Rogers was twenty, a young man newly arrived in the city from the little up-country village, where he had been born, he had made his resolution. "I shall save every penny I can put by," he said to himself. "I shall save for seven years. And then I shall go home and marry some sweet girl." But the seven years crept by and found Rogers with the fixed habit of his own creation, which he could not shake off. And long before the seven years were ended Rogers had made a second resolution. "I shall work seven years longer," he said. "Then I shall go home to Egan. I shall be thirty-four then. That will not be too old to marry. Until I am rich I will not tie any woman down to the hardships of married life on a tiny salary." The second seven years lengthened into fifteen, twenty, then thirty. And long before they were ended Rogers had forgotten his dream. But of late, with his fifteen thousand dollars safely stored away in the bank, the dreams had revived. And then something happened—a little, insignificant thing—which brought color and new interest into his life. Rogers had gone to the delicatessen store of his acquaintance, Holzapfel, to buy something for supper. He cooked his own supper upon a tiny stove in his apartment. "I think," he said, after he had made his purchases, "that I'll take some preserved fruit." "Why, Rogers, you're becoming a spendthrift, a regular spendthrift," said Holzapfel jestingly. Rogers patronized the old German from long habit. Holzapfel had fallen as sadly behind the times as he. His trade had dwindled and dwindled, his stock was incredibly old. Holzapfel nodded for hours in his store while not a single customer entered the dingy little place. "Well, I've got some preserved peaches," said the old fellow. "But they wasn't put up yesterday, Rogers. I can't say how fresh they was. I'll let you have them for a dime. They're home-grown, and they're worth twenty-five—if they was fresh." Rogers took the peaches and walked out of the store. The utensil was one of those, glass jars with a ring round the stopper, such as are used by countrywomen in preserving. They are not seen so much in large cities in these days of canning factories. The peaches were bad. But that fact had nothing to do with the case. For inside the jar was a little folded square of oiled paper. And in this, perfectly good, was a folded piece of paper, on which was written: Lucy Morrell, Egan 11 That compensated old Rogers for the loss of the peaches. It was one of those little harmless pranks played by country girls who put their names into bottles of fruit preserved by them and destined to go long distances and fall into strangers' hands. Often they had led to correspondence and sometimes to romance. Old Rogers racked his brains. He could not remember anyone in Egan named Morrell. But then he had not known everyone even in Egan. But that evening the loneliness of his flat, the squalor of his surroundings, to which he had been oblivious before, oppressed his spirit; and the very word Egan, written out on the paper, made him homesick for the little town. In the end he sat down and wrote: "Lucy Morrell: I found your note in the peaches." Days passed; old Rogers resumed the tenor of his life. He had not found the courage to break loose from his surroundings. But about a week later the postman left a letter in his box. It was the first he had received for months, except bank notices and bills. It was addressed to him in a delicate, feminine writing, and inside he read: "Dear Friend: I got your letter, but you didn't say how you liked the peaches." That was the beginning of a correspondence, and it brought a new happiness, into old Rogers' heart. He began to realize what he had missed in the manner, interests, of human intimacy during all those years. He be- came confidential, and Lucy answered him in the same spirit. He told her of his life, his plans, his dreams. And promptly with the post came Lucy's answer. But one thing old Rogers had not found courage to tell. He had not told her that he was fifty. For he knew that the romance would be shattered. People thought a man of fifty could not love—the fools! He had asked for her photograph, but she had not sent it, nor alluded to the matter again. And then old Rogers dared to hope that she might be homely—perhaps she was scarred or malmed, so that he might after all take her and shield her from the world and its cruelty. Slowly, very slowly, old Rogers hammered out his purpose. He was resolved to put all selfish thoughts aside. He would let her go, let the correspondence cease. But when he came to die the girl in Egan would find that she had fallen heir to all his money. And he would work like a madman all his days to accumulate a fortune for her. So he ceased to answer her. She wrote less often. But one day came a despairing note in which she confessed something perilously like love. And then old Rogers knew that he had no alternative. So he wrote back, a wild letter such as he would not have been capable of a year before, in which he told her. He told her that he was an elderly man, that he loved her with all his heart, but had not courage to ask her to be his wife. And so their correspondence must cease, and because he had been a fool and a coward he would suffer in remembering her all the rest of his days. Then a week passed, and then her answer came. It was a little note, the shortest that she had ever written him except the first time, and it said simply: "Come up to Egan. The third house from the depot. LUCY." On that same afternoon old Rogers drew his money from the bank, paid the rent and gave notice to his landlord, to the utter astonishment and dismay of that gentleman, who had left old Rogers's apartment to molder into, decay untouched and unpainted during the past decade. Then he turned his back upon Thirteenth street forever and set forth for Egan. He reached the little place at five on an autumn afternoon. It had not changed as he had expected. A few houses had sprung up along the railroad, but otherwise it was just as it had been during the past 30 years. He descended at the depot and walked slowly toward the cottage. There was no mistaking it, that little, old-fashioned building with its clinging ivy and Virginia creeper and the carefully tehded lawn and garden. It was just such a place as he would have imagined for an abode for Lucy. So he passed through the latched gate and knocked at the door. A pleasant, gentle-looking lady of about forty years opened to him. "I am James Rogers," said the visitor simply. "I have come to see your daughter." He said the last word with a tone of interrogation. Yet he felt sure that this was Lucy's mother. This was just such a mother as he would have expected Lucy to have. And yet it was strange that she had never mentioned her in her letters. "Come In, Mr. Rogers," said the other. "Sit down in the parlor until I light the lamp." She showed him into a quaint, old fashioned parlor and then began trimming the wick. But she could not finish. She set the shears down hastily and came up to him. Old Rogers rose. "I am Lucy Morrell," she sald, trembling. Old Rogers looked at her incredulously, and then . . . it was all so different from what he had expected. But he saw her eyes filled with tears and her head bowed in shame—and then, quite clumsily, for old Rogers had had no such experience during his fifty years—or during the last thirty of them, at any rate—he took her in his arms and kissed her. He knew then that he loved her the more truly because she brought to him a mind ripened by experience and a love whose strength was only the deeper for the passing of the years. And she had feared as he had feared, when the correspondence, begun in jest, had ended in earnest. And then his letter had come! "But there's one thing I can't understand, dearest," he said that evening, as they sat before the fire. "Why did you write your name on the paper and put it in the bottle of peaches? I could imagine that of you as a young girl, but not now." "My dear," she answered, smiling, "I bottled those peaches 20 years ago." "Heaven blessed old Holtzapfel!" was Rogers's remarkable ejaculation. Distinguished Finnish Woman. Distinguished Finnish Woman. Dr. Tekla Hultin, member of parliament in Finland, is one of the most distinguished women of her country. She was elected to parliament in 1908, and has helped to carry through various bills, one of which resulted in the construction of a railroad. She has served on many committees which draft bills for the consideration of the house; and is at present a member of three, including finance and law. She was the first Finnish woman to gain the degree of doctor of philosophy, and for a number of years has held an important post under government in the bureau of statistics. Got the Goods.

BELONG TO FICTION Writers Have Stretched Truth in Tales of Elephants. Really the Intelligence of the Animal. So Widely Believed In, Has Strong, Limitations, as Observers English writers who have dwelt in India assert that the many curious tales with reference to the superior intelligence of the elephant are apt to produce a distinctly incorrect impression. Like that of the horse, the intelligence of the elephant is said to have strange limitations. There is an instance of authentic record in which the populace of a small town near Madras were frightened out of their wits by a runaway elephant which broke from its mahout's control and ran through the town, smashing everything that lay in its path—all because it had been frightened by the pattering of rain-drops on its rider's umbrella. An English official in Burma, on a tour of inspection, became tired of riding his elephant and procured a pony in one of the villages. He was careful to make sure that the pony was not afraid of elephants, but it never occurred to him to ascertain whether or not the elephant might be afraid of his ponies. Early the next morning he sent his baggage and servants off on the elephant with orders to halt for lunch at a village ten miles away, and when he had finished some work he followed on the pony. When a mile or so from the halting place he saw the elephant "hunching along" in advance. The Englishman trotted up to hasten the mahout's pace. As he approached, the mahout began to gesticulate. The Englishmaan and his servants, who were Bengall, knew no Burmese, and the Burman knew no tongue but his own. The Britisher guessed, of course, that something was the matter, and, breaking into a gallop to see what it might be, he was astonished to see the elephant start off at a run. Three times the excited and angry mahout succeeded in stopping the beast after a run of a mile or so, and three times did the Englishman ride up to see what was the matter, only to observe with astonishment that the elephant rushed off each time. Finally the unhappy mahout steered the animal off the road into swampy ground, and thus shaking off the pursuit, plowed his way back on foot to the halting place, where he found an interpreter to explain 'that the elephant had been terrified by the pony's approach.'-Harper's Weekly. Ruled Sultan by His Love. Uskaub, the capital of the old Servian empire, now for the moment restored to the new Servia, is associated with one of the few real love affairs of a Turkish sultan. It was here, after the fatal field of Kossovo, that Balaje, arranged terms of peace with the Servian king Stephen. One of the most important stipulations was that Stephen should hand over his sister, the Lady Despina, as wife to the sultan. It was a lucky deal for the Servians, for it is written that "of all his wives the sultan held the Lady Despina dearest, and for her sake restored to her brother the city and castle of Semendria and Columbarium, in Servia. She allured him to drink wine, forbidden the Turks by their law, and caused him to delight in sumptuous banquets, which his predecessora never did." Adventure Wltn a Centipede Adventure With a Centipede. E. C. Johnson, who rescued the captain and crew from the wrecked barkentine Klikiztat, on the coast of Hawaii island, has reached here after an experience he will not soon forget, a Honolulu letter to the New York Tribune states. Johnson was climbing down a cliff 125 feet high, with the aid of ureepers and jutting rocks. As he swung out, holding to a creeper, a large centipede crawled from the vine to his arm and toward his face. He dared not let go the vine with his other hand to try to knock it off, but as the insect reached his shoulder he brushed at it with his head. The centipede hit him, and in desperation Johnson swung from the vine by one hand and with the other killed the insect. Then he climbed the rest of the way down as best he could. Ruling Passion. The taxicab driver was about to receive his sentence. "Prisoner," said the judge, "I am satisfied there is no reasonable doubt of your guilt. The evidence shows that you drove the deceased about the city in your taxicab for two hours, then took him to a secluded place and strangled him and stole his watch. Have you anything to say before sentence is pronounced? "Yes, your honor." "What is it?" "I'd like to know, your honor, who is going to pay the cab hire?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The late Wilbur Wright put safety above all else in aeroplane construction. Mr. Wright was once watching, with critical eye the flight of a very swift, very cranky aeroplane, when a little girl said to him: "Uncle Wilbur, can you get to heaven in one of those machines? Or not by going up," replied the great alman, "but if you have lived a very good life you may do so by coming down."—Washington Star. EQUAL TO OCCASION Turned Effort to Disconcert Him Into Advantage and Delivered Sermon as He Constructed Whees of His Hearers. "Ministers may come and go, but we go on forever," was the unexpressed opinion of a small, rather religious western town. What the people of that community wanted was a preacher, a man who could talk. Numerous clergymen attempted to fill the bill but one by one had departed, never to be heard from again. Finally one young man burning with zeal and enthusiasm and just out of the theological school applied for the place. The townsmen looked him over dispassionately, then told him calmly that the next day being Sunday he could preach in their church and the kind of sermon and the way he delivered it would decide his fate. Accordingly every one turned out and went to church on Sunday. The aspiring minister arose in the pulpit. "My dear people," he said, "I have been asked to preach to you. But I am a stranger among you and I do not know just what your needs are. So I am going to let you select the subject of my sermon. Write on a slip of paper whatever you wish me to talk on and lay it on the pulpit." He then bowed his head in silent prayer while a self-constituted committee formed in the vestibule to determine the nature of the deciding sermon. After some deliberation one of them walked up to the pulpit and placed thereon a folded piece of paper, Ill-concealed grins might have been noted on the faces of many. The young minister looked first on one side of the sheet of paper and then on the other. A gleam came into his eyes as he held the paper up so all might see and spoke gravely. "My dear friends, there is nothing written on either side of this paper. Nothing! Yet out of nothing God made the world! The subject of my sermon this morning therefore will be on the creation of the world." It is on record that he stayed to preach another sermon. Collecting a Debt. A sea captain living in a small Massachusetts town had loaned money to a neighbor, who, after the loan was a year or so old, made no effort to pay it. The captain began to look upon it as lost. Arriving home from a voyage, he heard of a debt-collector who was noted for sticking to a delinquent until some result was obtained. The captain called upon this person, told him the circumstances, and said: "Now if you will collect that debt, I'll give you half of it; or if you don't collect but half of the bill, I'll divide that with you." The collector nodded. "I guess I can get half of it, anyhow. If I don't, it shouldn't be for want of trying-hard enough." The captain sailed away, and on his return, again sought out the collector. "Hello, Mr. Blank!" said he. "How about that bill?" Have you collected it yet? "Well," replied the man. "I can't collected the built on it; but I did collect my part 'bout as soon as you gin me the account, and he ain't paid me a cont since. I keep after him, but 'its just as you said, when you give me the bill; he don't have any conscience about it. Good day!" and the brisk collector disappeared, leaving the captain vainly gazing after him. Her Wide Acquaintances. Margaret sat on the lowest step of the stairway leading down, from the cottage, and as the foot passengers passed she nodded and spoke to them, irrespective of age and condition. And, irrespective of age and condition, they nodded and smiled in return, and in many cases stopped and exchanged a word with the golden-haired little girl who had not yet learned about introductions. Decidedly, she found Atlantic City an amusing plade. That night, as Margaret's mother was preparing her for bed, she asked her how she liked the seashorn. "Oh, it's just lovely, Mammal!" replied Margaret. "And it's remarkable how many people I seem to know here."—The Sunday Magazine. Prior to the year 1850, the petroleum springs which existed in various quarters were mainly regarded as natural curiosities. In fact that year E. L. Drake of Tittsville, Pa. bored a well which was to start the petroleum trade. Drake was regarded as a dreamer when he began to bore, but he kept on, and when the bore reached a depth of some seventy-five feet he found that he was the possessor of an "oil well" with a capacity of twenty-five barrels a day. After that the future of petroleum was assured, and with leaps and bounds the trade went on to its present huge proportions. Sure Sign.

Again our city has captured the Grand Prize and Vanderbilt Cup auto races. When .the great classic of the auto racing world takes place again it will be over the superb roads of our own county, Chatham. ‘These races are of international importance. They advertise our city as no other agency. Our people like others, should fall in line at once and become boosters of the Grand Prize and Vanderbilt Cup races ior 1913." Let us start at once to contribute our share tothe suc- cess of these races which mean so much to the advertisement and thus the derelopment and growth of our city. The recent conviction of the thirty three labor leaders at In- dianapolis as being a part of the wholesale dynamiting upheaval which shocked the entire country only a short while ago and which caluminated in the destruction of the ‘Times Building at Los An- geles, can but mect tlie approval of all lovers of law and order. And whilethe cause of organized labor will suffer a temporary set- back through the azarchistic re- velations which the trial of the dynaniters brougitt forth, yet it will be for its good, for with the order purged of its lawless ele- ament, public confidence will be restored and the people will feel that the banner of the cause of organized labor may float once again tu the surroundings breezes without being besmirched by the actions of those whose doctrine is to rule or ruin. Without the blowing of horns or the sounding of trumpets, there is being conducted in our city a work through the agency of which much good both of a missionary and philanthropic,sature has been accomplished. We refer to the -work of the Anti-Tuberculosis League. ‘This League, organized afew years ago as an adjunct of the Men’s Sunday Club, has been doing regular and effective work among the sick of our city. The alleviation of the, sufferings of those afilicted with the dread dis- ease, tuberculosis, has been the main work of the League. ,With- out pomp or ostentation, its mem- bers have gone about their chosen work carrying the gospel of fresh air and sunshine, cleanliness and wholesome food to many. among us whose living condition is in the most acute stage. These earnest workers have harkened to the ap- peals of the sick and_ina_ most. humble but earnest way, without. show or ceremony, or hope of re- ward, have ministered unto the sick among us, siving to them at least a cup of cold «ater to act as a soothing balm to their lips parched with fever. ‘Che officers and members of the League are to be congratulated on the work that they taye and are doing. ‘The work should receive the widest en- couragement and support from us. [tis sincerely hoped that by a moro widespread manifestation of interest in the work on the part of our people that the effort of the laagzue inits missioamong the sick will be signalized with greater success in the future than ever before. Oa January (4th, ‘Tuesday, the yotors of our city will choose by ballot the next mayor and alder- manic beard of the city of Savan- nah. During the past few weeks the partisan followers of the two candidates for mayor haye made the welkin cing with their argu- ments in favor of their chosen Jeador. From the speeches of the campaizn orators and through the newspapers, the voters have been enlightened on the record, both past and present, of the respective miayoralty candidates. ‘The posi- tion of the respective candidates for sayor on questions of a pub- lie wature has been widely dis- cusses. Ample opportunity there- fore hay been given the voters to study the two candidates for manyor from every angle. As the date of the electio#- approaclies, we wish to advise those of our peo- ple who ure reyistered ‘voters, to act wisely in the use of their bal- ballots. The progress and devel- opment of our city means much tous The protection and secur- ity of our people in their persdn and in their homes are equally as important. To act wisely at the pools on next Tuesday, without regard to pecuniary reward, will mean much to us. To do other- wise, may result in certain actions that’ may mesn our curtailment along important lines. Let each colored voter go to the polls on next Tuesdsy imbued with a de- sire and determination to,assist in placing atthe helm of the gov- ernment of our thriving and pro- gressive city, men who will con- tinue this prosperity and men whose broadness of view and sym- pathy with humanity will not al- low them to be other than guar- wins of the whole people without regard to race or color.

Whereas it has pleased the Almighty God to call from labor to reward our dear sister, and whereas in her demise Myrtle Household of Ruth No. 118 h:s losta beloved sister, a devoted member. and her husband ‘has lost a devoted wife, but our loss is heaven's gain. Therefore, be it resolved that we bow in humble submission to the will of our Heavenly Father and tender our heart- felt sympathy to her husband and rela- fives, commending them to Him who has promised to be our aeliverer in every trial of life and who_gives us grace that teaches us that ‘Earth has no sorrows that Heaven cannot heal.” So sweet so strange it seems to us, That ere the day was done; The yoice of our dear inmate Was far beyond the sun Forever and forever . With those just souls and true, And what is life that we should mourn, Why make we such ado, Forever and for ever : She's in a blessed home, And there to wait a little while Till all her inmates come. ; To be within the light of God, As she lie upom his breast And the wicked cease from troubling And the weary are at rest.

The races will be Washington—The greatest crowd that besleged Senate galleries since the opening of this session of Congress overflowed into hallways and corridors of the Capitol Thursday in anticlpa- dion of Senator Bailey's farewell speech, The Senator took the floor at the conclusion of “morning business.” pies Senator's seats were filled, and wany members of the House crowded 4nto the rear of the chambér. Speaks To Country. Practically none of Senator Balley"s address bad been prepared in advance. It dealt principally with the principle of the initiative and referendum, and he directed his words toward his reso- lution, declaring that such a “system of direct legislation as the initiative and referendum would establish is in confilet with tho representative prin- ciple on which the republic is founded.” . = “During my service of more than 21 yeara in the two houses of Con- gress,” sald Senator Bailey, “I have never before delivered an address in either of them intended more for the country at large than for the body It- self, and I would not now depart from that rule, except for the extraordinary situation in which we find ourselves with respect to these questions.” Hamilton His Gulde. Senator Bailey declared the advo- eates of this “extraordinary form of government” had conducted a system- atic campaign for years in behalf of thelr views. He desired, he sald, to présent argument against such a ays- tem of direct legislation. ‘The first portion of Senator Bailey's address included long extracts from tie writings of Alexander Hamilton, principally the publication in The Federalist, through which Hamilton just after the formation of the Gov- ernment carried on his discussion of principles upon which he conceived it to have been founded. Quotes Early Stateamen. “The wise and patriotic statesmen who dedicated this Republic to Iberty and Independence,” declared Senator Bailey, “rejected a direct democracy in which the people ‘would rule with- out the intervention of representatives and adopted a representative democ- racy in which the people should rule through their duly chosen agents.” The Senator quoted from statesmen who participated in the formation of the Constitution and the organization of the Government to show that they had never intended that the repre- eentative form of gvcornment should elve way to direct legislation by the people, such as the initiative and ref- erendum would provide. SULZER SIMPLICITY. Jnaugurated As Governor Of New York State. Albany, N. ¥.—Precedents of years standing were ignored and others created, during the inauguration of Willan Sulzer, of New York, as Demoocratic governor of the Empire State. ‘All the pomp and display usually facident to such occasions were lack- Ing; this at the governor’s own re- quest. There was no military demon- strations; no governor's salute of 19 guns to announce the change of ad- ministration; no parade of civic and political bodies; nothing, in fact, to feature the induction into office of the state's chief executive, except a notable gathering of prominent people and the carrying out of the procedure pro- vided by the Constitution. ‘The new governor in his desire for simplicity insited upon walking from the executive mansion to the capitol, refusing to ride in a carriage which had been provided. After the cere- monies he inaugurated a new feature by appearing on the front steps of the capitol and addressing the thousands who were unable to Witness the cere- monies inside. 2! *s HURRYING TROOPS TO FRONTIER Belgrade Dispatch Says Last, Of Balk; an States Is Mobilizing.

The opinion, written by Justice Sul- livan, was concurred in by Chief Jus- tice Stewart. It upheld the inherent right of courts to punish for contempt. Justice Allshie dissented from the opinion on the ground that tne case was not pending at the time of the publication of the article In question. Although A. R. Cruzen, in his answer to the court’s charges mado affidavit that he was in no way connected with fis paper, the sworn statement of the publisher made in compliance with the federal law was introduced showing ‘the ownership of stock and bonds of the company and the court held ‘Cruzen equally guilty with the pub- lisher ang editor.

Public Taking Advantage of New System. SOME FREAK SHIPMENTS. From Pitchforks and Prunes To Pav- ing Blocks and Poultry Sent Through the Mail In In- augurating Service. Washington, D. C.—Americans New Year’s Day were using for the first time thelr newest institution—the parcels post. Reports to headquarters from post offices, large and small, throughout the country indicated that the newest of government services was being ushered Into its usefulness with a heavy day, and that the facilities pro- vided for handling the new business would be taxed to capacity as the public knowledge of it became more general. From all points came reports ot “freak” shipments in the new post. They consisted of everything from pitchforks and (prunes to paving blocks and poultry. Under the regu: lations practically every class of mer- chandise is mallable by parcels post. All mail matter. formerly fourth class now goes in the new service. It became evident to postal officials early in the day that some difficulties, more or less serious, were Ikely to be encountered in the incipient stages of the operation of the new system. From every city came: reports that many packages bore ordinary postage stamps instead of the-distinctive par. cels post stamps. Under the law such parcels have to be held for lack of proper postage” Notwithstanding that it was a holl day the amount of parcels post mat ter offered at offices throughout thé country, so far as heard from, fairly measured up to the Christmas rush, On the ordinary business days indi. cations are that the volume of parcels post. traffic will be tremendous. How this matter is to be transported by the railroads is a serious question Within a few days it has become ap. parent that the railroads generally had not sufficient equipment ready to han. dle a vastly increased weight of mail, - Generally no delay In the delivery of parcels by the various postoffices ie expected, as oxtraordinary measure: have been taken to provide delivery service. It already seems certain that the new system will be utilized ex tensively by department stores anc merchants generally for the delivery & local packages. These, of course will net have to be transported by railroad, but will merely pass through local offices. SEVEN BOYS DROWNED. Coasting and Hockey Proves Fatal Near Utica, N. Y. _ Utica, N.

The’ Guyandotte bridge, the scene of the disaster, was known to railroad men as a hoo-doo bridge, today’s acci- dent making the third fatal one on this structure. The bridge was being doubletracked, and pending the com- pletion of the work a temporary struc- ture had been put {n, The railroad ofticials clalm that the gollapse of the bridge was due to the piling being un- derined by the high stage of water now, preva(ling in Guyan River. It is declared that the railroad officials had been warned repeatedly of the dan- ger since the high stage came in the river, and the authorities are Investf gating this phase of the accident. The accident ogcurred a few min- utes before 11 o'clock. A passenger train had passed safely over the bridge a few minutes before that time. The freman and brakeman of the freight train seemed to have a pre monition of danger and walked across the bridge in advance, and to this they owe thelr lives. Engineer Weber remained at his post, and when the locomotive reach- ed the middle span the break came, and the engine and one car plunged 50 feet into the swollen stream. Fifteen men were working on the bridge and 11 of these went down, five being rescued from the river. The others fell under the engine and cars, So far {t has been impossible to re cover the bodies of any of the vic- tims. > The ironwork of the bridge Is a total loss, and {t will require several weeks to replace the structure so that direct traffic may be resumed, Ar- rangements will probably be com- pleted with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for handling freight and pansenver trafic durinr that tine: MINERS RESCUED ALIVE. One Of Nine Belleved Dead; Burled Forty Hours. Hamaqua, Pa—After being im- prisoned behind a fall of coal, rock and other mine refuse, eight of the nine men entombed Tuesday in the colliery of the East Lebigh Coal Company, near here, were rescued allve. The other man—John Walters—is miselng and 1s believed to have been killed. News that the rescue had been made brought joy to several thousands of persons who had gathered around the colliery, and when word was received that the men were within sight all physicians were requested to come to the colliery. Arrangements were also made to take the mén to the hospital at Coaldale, Pa. The men were im- prisoned nearly 40 hours. The rescuers were given stout hearts by distinct rappings from the location in which the men were en- tombed, and which were followed later by the words “all well," when a=pipe was forced through the mass of debris: Throughout the day the work went on with feverish haste, a crowd of relatives and friends, together with trainloads of excursionists, congre- gated about the mouth of the shatt. During the afternoon no less than 5,000 persons were gathered at the workings. WOMEN IN THE CABINET, Two Have Been Proposed To Gov- ernor Wilson. Princeton, N. J—Two women have been proposed for places in the cabinet of, President-elect Wilson, one of them for the portfollo of secretary of war. This disclosure was made when Mr. Wilson was asked if the suffragettes had suggested any names of women for cabinet ‘positions. “{ think I have received \only two such requests,” he replied. “The recommendations ‘were made in a general way, but one did urge a par- ticular‘lady for secretary of war, if I'm not mistaken, but I ought to add that It was in the interests of peace.” RECEIVE SILVER CUPS.

Osborn of the Western Power Boat associa- tion, stating that Peorla had been awarded the 1913 regatta of that or ganization to be under the joint aus- pices of the Peoria and Ilinols Val- Igy Yacht clubs, The races will be Tun under the new rules laid down by the Peoria club, which were accept- ed by the association. The regatta will be held late in July or early in August. Yale's rowing policy for next sear son has been outlined ‘by Captain Snowden, who stated that Harvard probably would be the only opponent the Eji varsity would tackle. The an- nual race will be scheduled for June 19 on the Thames. Yale has never before received so many challenges. Cornell, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Annapolis have gent invitations for matches, all of which Yale declined. Yale's determination to Ilmit the crew to one event is due to the backward- ness of thé candidates in mastering the English stroke. The second crew will be allowed to enter the Amer- {can Henley races on the Schuylkill and the freshmen may again book Princeton for an early race. FOOTBALL Minnesota will meet Nebraska next year in football at Lincoln, the date to be determined later. Stuents of the University of Penn- sylvania are jubilant over the selec tion of T. Truxton Hare as head coach of the football squad in 1913. . The memory of the father of the English Association Football league, the late William McGregor, is to be, perpetuated in Birmingham by the erection of a drinking fountain. The Prince of Wales, who is a sta- dent at Oxford university, is a good as- sociation football player and {8 espe- cially clever at long distance running. He also lkes to play lawn tennis. Vincent Pazzett!, Lehigh’s crack quarterback and football captain, 1s a candidate for the basketball team and gives promise of developing into one of the most capable performers of the team. - The Canadian Association Football league has been admitted Into mem- bership by the International Federa- tion. The Canadians plan ‘to bring over two élevens from Great Britain next season to play a eerled of games. In memory of the late Henry Schoel- kopf, a‘graduate of Cornell university. who committed suicide in Milwaukee recently, and who was one of the greatest football players the univer sity ever has claimed, a new training house on alumni field will be erected. BILLIARDS James Maturo will be the next op- ponent of champion Alfredo de Oro for the pocket billlard championship, The contest may be played in Guba or Now York, about December 16. Joe Wood {s not only a great pitch- er, but probably the pool champion of the big leagues. Joseph is very little behind De Oro, Keogh and others in thelr class when it comes to the fifteen-ball game. New York took the final game of the serles from Kansas City in the Na- tional Billiard league threecushion tournament, when George Moore for New York defeated Arthur Davenport of Kansas City by a score of-50 tos30 in 47 innings. Moore's high ‘run was 5, Davenport's 6. The three-game se- ries stood: New York, 2 games won; Kansas City, 1. Clarence Jackson, twenty-two years old, seems to be the rising star in the billiard firmament. In a practice game at Chicago the other day he made bis 500 points in six Innings for an average of 83 1-3. His innings were 2, 28, 159, 54, 87 and 170. His final run of 170, unfinished, wound up with the balls ‘still clustered and it looked’ certain that he would have been able to make the run 200 had the game not been over. His opponent scored only 5 points against him. ICE BOATING | ‘The two Long Branch tce boating clubs have elected officers for 1912. Capt. Charles L.

Seventy Timer: ARIS.—Navy blue serge as a ma- terial for winter tailored suits has been almost simultaneously brought into prominence by sey- eral of the noted .costume-makers round about the Place Vendome. One of these sults shows various novel fea- tures. Particularly salient {s the de- sign of its skirt which has a box plait at elther side of its narrow front, thus emphasizing the straight line from hips to feet which must distinguish the modish jupon“trotteur. Equally novel fs the double-breasted blouse- coat which, below the waist, {s point- ed at front and back to form a knee- Tength tunic. This coat carries the combination of colors which is 50 marked in every really chic trotteur suit, Its short, square yoke is of beige cloth, its high stosk collar is of cream chiffon and its belt band and big buckle are of sllyer and bronze-em- broldered scarlet cloth. Green Trimming, Blue Material. Green cloth braided with purple soutache trims a navy blue serge suit turned out by a rival of the originator of the beige and scarlet decorated cos- tume. Although green, purple and dark blue are an unusual combination which a few years ago would have deen considered “impossible,” the ef- fect of the mixture 1s not startling be- cause the green which comes between the purple and blue fs precisely the right shade Were it a degree darker or lighter, the appearance of the three Rees Bw r ai aes SRT.

The pros- pective ‘customer is shéwn the tri- umph; never the experiments. A simple way of combining several colors with navy blue is to use Scotch plaid cloth as,nearly all of the well- known clan patterns include three or more distinct tones, Frequently the sham underskirt of a suit is of the plaided cloth, the scant drapery and the jacket of plain serge and the broad collar, long revers and belt (if the watst line 1s definitely defined), in clan Nevertheless navy blue serge is not to reign supreme among winter tailored costumes, for even with its vivid reliefs it ts apparently too sombre for all tastes. In a decidedly bright shade of blue are seen many smart costumes which despite their light hue have a warm appearance due to the rough-surfaced cloth of which they are made and this effect Is further em- phasized by fur cuffs, collar and broad skirt band. Striped ratine ts enjoying a second winter of popularity in Paris and like navy blue serge ja made up with enlivening vivid shades. Num- bers of the tailor-mades in brown and white stripings are trimmed with bright yellow cloth. Naturally not in large quantities, but used discreetly as a facing for a Robesplerre collar, a piping for revers and cuffs, as narrow Dias bands in rows upon coat and skirt and as a covering for practical and ornamental buttons. If, when completed, the suit seems to be over- toned with yellow, it is easily utder- ee gM meena een eee see area collar and buttons with dark soutache. ‘Lace Flounces Common. Lace flounces on suits of velvet or Satin aré now so commonly seen, that their appearance in a tea room docs not arouse the faintest flutter of in- terest unless the costume happens to be something specially fetching. The flounces are put on In tiers of: two. ‘three or four and wide enough to over- lap; or in a single broad flounce ex- tending trom the base of the hips to a few inches above the knees from which point the satin or velvet of the ‘Skirt 1s revealed as far as the knee (caps, where a second and muck nar- Tower flounce of lace, draws the full- ness Into something closely resembling a hobble. Again, a yard-wide flounce of lace ts accordion-plaited into the waist band and allowed to fall straight over the velvet or satin scant skirt. Whenever this filmy upperskirt is banded with fur, ’the observer of tash- fons may confidently expect to see worn with It a furtrimmed Eton coat of the heavier material. For the Teton of thirty years ago is back again and looks oddly enough in com- pany with present day modifications of the First Empire skirt. = “Great Coats” Fashionable. ‘Unquestionably, the pelt “great coats” are most of all fashionable, and the variety of the skins used {s almost endless. Musquash is amazingly popu- lar, but so are all of the clever im!- tations of seal and the various man!- festations in dyed squirrel. The sabled squirrel and the “near” seal coats are developed from beautifully worked pelts and all of them ure fashioned to give the clinging effect below the knees and the lineless effect at the walst and the hips. The same craze for contrasting hues that influences costumes appears in fur wraps. Civiet cat finishes the neck and sleeves of sealskin garments, red fox or muskrat trim black Russian pony and caracul and white fox garnished sabled squir- Tel. But the grand chic of the mo- ment is canary colored furs, presum- ably brought forward in deference to the latest fad in facial makeups—a yellow complexion and vivid red lps. The canary-toned furs are of dyed white fox or coney, and they are won- derfully striking looking when worn with an all-black or all-white costume. They are not, however, so conspicuous as the newest fancy in muffs. These are positively freakish and at first glance misleading. Whenever a sea- soned Parisian approaches a lady in the Bots, he glances a second time to- ward her before deciding whether she is carrying in her arms a pet dog, cat or monkey or a muff contrived from the bead, brush and pelt of one of those animals This is a fad which started a few weeks ago with Pomera- nian head and tail trimmed muffs, and how much further it will extend, no one pretends to say. Small Hats in Favor. Small-sized hats have suddenly made a strong bid for favor The latest models are low of crown and narrow of brim and are sparsely trimmed with Mephistopheles feathers consisting of five or six ostrich files. The woman who aims to wear the Dernier Cri in headgear, will at once order a small hat of white brocaded velvet trimmed with a white Mepbis- tepheles plume. !Or, if all-white does not become her, she may have the chapeau of black beaver, banded with white grosgrain ribbon and springing in sprightly manner from Sts left side, a tall und gracefully curved but ab-| normally attenuated plume. | The illustration depicts an after. noon toilette, on simple lines. The rich brown of the velvet harmonizes with the warm shade of the fur, and‘a broad sash of soft satin adds a dis- Unctive touch. The long sleeves are finished with fur cuffs Hatpin Noveltles. As many’ of the lovely supple felt autumn hats are entirely untrimmed, they depend on the hat-pins to break the monofony, and of these I like best the delicately ‘carved tinted horn. A couple ft graceful dragon-files with long, slender, bluey-green wings, or big gold and brown bumble-bees, soft and fluffy looking, or perhaps a dainty flower-head in natural tints—are ail charming in the soft velvet-felt hats. For more ceremonious millinery, “chapeaux de style,” the pins should be in paste and baroque pearls, finely mounted. Parisians are also wearing shell and amber pins, but these should be real, otherwise they are soon scratched and shabby. . Dame Fashion's Fads. Many of the new gowns have their skirts caught at'the foot by buttons and ornamented streps. i The fad for making one side of the bodice different from thé other is as much as ever in evidence, Peau de suede, a fabric with the dull finish of suede and the softness of silix, is a favorite this season. The fashion for browns in dull wood and fur tones without any hint of yel- low {s assured. The extreme empire lines on which some of the newest creations of the French couturlers are cut seem to defy the so-called tendency to retyrn to the normal waist line. Damask Satin Gowne. Very soft damask satina make de lightful evening gowns, chosen {n some old world shade of Marie An- toinette blue or Malmaison pink, and made with slightly full and very grace- ful skirts, spreading out Into long trains, and bordered with mink, skunk or sable. As a rule, the bodices of these gowns are arranged quite simply with fishu folds which come from eith- er shoulder, bordered with o single made of diamante trimming, while the sleeves are made in a kimono shape and edged with fur. BONES-LIKE STRAW Young Kansas Girl Is a Victim of a Strange Malady. Slightest Jar or Movement Means a Fractured Ankle, Thigh or Arma to Margaret Williams of Me- dora—Legs Have Been Broken Seventy Times. Hutchinson, Kan.—The victim of a rare disease of the bones, Margaret Williams, the twelve-year-old daugh- ter of a wealthy farmer living near Medora, has suffered seventy frac tures of the legs and more than a doz- en of the arms. Ever since she has been old enough to walk the bones of her legs and arms have snapped at the slightest jar or quick movement. Her legs and arms are gharled from ‘the numerous fractures, * Physicians who have treated the girl say her bones lack some element. They are scft and spongy. Her leg bones are not strong enough to sup- port her and the least jar or shock results in a fracture, When she was barely two years old, just beginning to walk, her leg bones first broke, Her parents believed she had fallen too heavily. Later, as she was growing, every now and then”a bone.would break. Sometimes it was the shin, more frequently the thigh, and occasionally a bone of the foot. Fortunately for the, girl, she did not suffer as much pain from these frac- tures as do others under normal con- ditions, but as she grew older the fractures became more painful and she suffered greatly, It was neces- sary to treat the fractures the samo as in other cases and the child spent fully one half of her time lying hélp- less with her legs in splints. Not only” her legs, but her arms were affected similarly. The arms were not broken as often as the legs, however, as they did‘not bear her weight. But every little jar or push with her hands meants a fractured arm or wrist. The parents of the girl say they do not know how many times their daughter's bones have been fractured. They know of seventy times that hér legs have been broken, but they have kept no count of the other breaks. Margaret now rides in an arm wheel chair. It is dangerous for her to take a step. The last time her legs ‘were broken was about three months ago when she attempted to cross a room. Both legs gave way under the weight of her body. That was almost too much for the bone-broken little girl, but now she is cheerful again. SCOTCH COLLIE. HUSKS CORN Farmer Owns Dog Which, Standing on Hind Legs, Tears Ear Off - With Teeth. Stanberry, Mo—H. P. Allen, a farmer living near here, is the owner of a Scotch collie dog which he higb- ly values because It’ {s a good corn husker. The animal will go out in the field with Allen's employes and keep°up with many of them In corn husking. “When the season opened the dog followed the wagon and with appar- ent interest watched the process of husking. Finally the animal ran to one of the corn stalks and, standing on hig hind feet, pulled down the stalk, grabbed the ear and broke it off with bis teeth. With teeth and forepaws he huskéd the ear and then ran and yielded tt to his master to be thrown into the wagon. Highly pleased with his first efforts, the animal ran to another stalk and repeated the operation again and again. The dog ds a year and a half old and this season Allen claims he has husked hundreds of bushels of corn. Only one trouble has arisen: the animal's claws are beginning to wear down from the huskitig and Allen 1s considering fastening some kind of a husking peg on bis front feet so the animal can husk the corn and not wear down his claws. New Nose From a Rib. St. Louis, Mo—James Wilson of this elty has ordered a new nose. The ‘requisition was put in at tHe city hos- pital, where Wilson is a patient, and was honored by Witson himself. This was 60 because the material for the nose is to come from one of Wilson's ribs. : “It's a question of having plenty of ribs, as It were—and not enough nose,” said the >philosophical patient. “1 think’ I can get along without part of them. Adam gave up an entire rib when he wanted a wife.” Wilson’s nose was {njured eighteen months ago. Eagles Carried Away Stock. Kingfisher, Okla—-Vigilantes, organ- {zed among the farmers after pigs. lambs and other small stock had been carried off, captured four enormous golden-headed eagles and killed a fifth. Recently an infant child disappeared and gypsies were blamed. The eagles are now considered the culprits. Reuth In Derinkine Fest Joliet, 11l.—George Houser, a team- ster, wagered that he could drink a schoonet of beer at one swallow. He drank the beer, but fell dead on the fivor of the saloon. Robins on a “Tear.” . Lyerly, Ga—Thousands of robins have been made drunk by eating china berries. They lie around to sleep off the effects and then return hurriedly to the china berry tree.
