Owing to the intoxieated con- dition of the murderer very little could be gotten from him as to the cause of the crime, but from scv- eral eye witnesses to the crime it was learned that the dead man had little or no chance to protect him- self from his assailant. It seems that the two men, Ne- groes, half brothers, were return- ing home in the sloop, late in the afternoon from their day’s work, when suddenly opposite Beaulieu, the murderer, Robt Mumferd, sud- denly attacked his brother,,Shad Bond, and practically hacked him to pieces with a large knife. Shouts of the wounded man and his assailant were heard at Mont- gomery several minutes before the sloop appeared off shore and at- tracted considerable attention. ‘The two men were fighting desper- ately. By the time the sloop reached Beaulieu all was quietand the assailant was walking simlessly up and down the deck. By thistime news of the cenflict had scattered widely and in a short time two officers were on the scene. ‘The sloop had dropped anchgr off shore and the two officeres in bateaux rowed out to it from op- posite directions. Bond had de- fied arrest and sat down with a shot gun across his knees. Although apprehensive of trou- cble, the officers approached the boat, and, contrary to expectations, placed the intoxicated man under arrest with no difficulty. ‘Thegun was found to be empty. The mur- dered man had been stabbed in fif- teen different places and was dead when the officers boarded thesloop. ‘The two men lived at Pin Point, a little spotnear Beaulieu, A few months ago Bond had mortgayed his boat to pay his half brother out of jail, where he had been sen- tenced for stabbing a man with an ice pick. Pekin Theater Now a Picture . House Entirely For the past several weeks Mana- ‘ger Stiles of the Pekin theater hus been trying out an innovation which he thought might be rather pleasing to the great majority of the patrons of this house and so far he has been particularly pleased with the manner the public has taken to it, At the beginning of the New Year the idea of changing the Pe- kin theater from a combination vaudeville and picture house toa strictly first class photo play house strongly appealed to the manage- ment of this popular theater, and the idea was given a trial. How successful it has proven can best be attested by the extraordinarily large and appreciative crowds that have been attending the pictures ever since the change was made. Tn fact so pleased has the man- agement been with the success with which this change tas met that it contemplates enlarging the house in the near future to accommodate the overflowing. crowds that so of- ten attend the performances of this house. The running of the pictures only at the Pekin has been the means of attracting many who here-to-fore havenot been regular patrons of the house and they haye all expressed themselves as being particularly pleased with the innovation which Manager Stiles has made. To the management, the way the public has taken to the change has been very gratifying and its appreciation of the liberal support which the public is giving the house is shown by the high class pictures which it is present- ing The house is now getting seyen reels a day, four of whichare gen- erally being shown nightly and occasionally, when the time per. mits, the entire seven are put on.

Education In South Vo Get Million Dollars AMERICAN MISSIONARY AS- SOCIATION APPEALS Institutions for Higher Educas tion tobe Benefited—Fund to be Raised by Individual Sub- scriptions The Americar Missionary Asso- siation, organized in 1846 in the iiterest of the enslaved black, was the first agency tO open schools in the South after the emancipation Commencing, of necessity, with primary schools, and multiplying these until every Southern state had its group, the Associution has been signally fortunate in the growth of its institutions in size, madvanced scholarship, and in the power of their influence Some of those schools have become indepen- dént of the Association’s fostertng care; notably Hampton Institute, Berea Collegé and Atlanta Univer- sity, while others have been stead- ily accumulating resources in en- dowment looking toward a similar independence. * ‘Ihe Association now maintains six colleges in the South;—Fisk University, ‘Talladega College, ‘Tougaloo University, Straight Uni- versity, Tillotson College for, the Negro and Piedmont College for the mountain whites. , At the last meeting of the Asso- ciation, held in Buffalo, a signili- cant forward step was taken to place its six colleges on a substan- tial basis of self support. Its de- cision was expressed in the follow- ing resolution unanimously adopt- ; In commemoration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Proclamation of Emancipatian; Resolved; That the American Mis- sionary Association, in Annual Meet- ing assembled, hereby determines to undertake the raising of One Million Dollars forthe Endowment of the Higher Institutions connected with the Associ- ation, and refers the development and execution of the plan to the Executive Committee with power to employ such secistants and to appoint such officer oF officers asin its judgment may seem desirable for the accomplishment of the purpose; this fund te be raised by indi- vidual subscriptions, and entirely apart from the Apportionment Pian. - The faculty, student body and graduates of Talladega College are responding to the appeal for contri- butions to this fund, and the Col- lege is inviting every person inter- ested in the higher education of our youth to give the movement sympathetic support. Contributions may be sent to T. J. Larkin, Treasurer of Talledeg: College, or to Mr. H. W. Hub bard, Treasurer of the Améericat Missiouary Association, Box 40 Madison Square Station, Nes York, specifying that they are fo: the Million Dollar Fund.

Azalia Ilack- ley of Philadelphia, Pa, on last Wednesday nizht at the Georgia State Industrial College. . In Meldrim Auditorium, where the performance 6f Madam Hack- Tey took place, was gathered a large and appreciative audience, the majority, of course, being col- lege students, though a-yery re- presentative crowd was present from the city. « Not only were Madam Hackley’s musical renditions delightfully pleasing, but her demonstrations in voice culture were very inter- esting and highly instructive, and the lecture which she gave’ was such as should prove an inspira- tion to all who heard her. Madam Hackley was very gen- erous in the number of selections which she rendered and the audi- ence showed its appreciation of her liberality by rapturously ap- plauding her at the conclusion of each number. 4 ss The program was divided into two parts. At the conclusion of part one a recitation was rendered by one of the young ladies from the State College and was very liberally applauded. Just a little before Madam Hackley concluded the first part of the program a very beautiful bouquet of roses was handed her by one of the children of the college family. The last three numbers which were rendered by the singer were Negro folk songs, and the feeling and expression with which Madam Hackley sang these particular selections will be especially well remembered. .

That spiritemakes Masonry something more than a craft; it makes it in a true and precious sense a brotherhood. ““The fraternal organizations of this day and age do auch to put people in touch and sympathy with each other. The usefulnesa of or- ganizations is measured by the good results they attain. Every duty we avoid obscures some truth we should have known. ‘There is as much injustice and trouble as the result of our sins of omission sometimes as those of commission.” . The writer sat in Garden City Lodge of Chicago the other’ even- ing and listened to the examina: tion of a candidate for advance ment to the Master Mason's de gree. The examination was letter perfect, and at the conclusion the Master announced that it was ar example of the degree of profici. ency required by the lodge anc that each candidate so far thi: ryear had passed a perfect examin ation, Inalodge of over 1,20 members, conferring over 200 de grees each year, it would be natur al to expect some degree of hast in the preparation of candidates but this lodge is setting an exam ple which may well be emulated b; the lodges of our state.

Fire Follows Crash and Victims . _,, Burn to Death. . INJURED ARE MOSTLY WOMEN Two Buildings, One Occupied By a Department Store, Collapsed Without Warn- McKinney, Tex—The most appall- ing tragedy in the history of this city or county was enacted in the collapse of two of the city’s largest brick Dulldings, both filled with customers at the time. Until the ruins, which caught fire, are completely cleared from the fatal spot, the exact loss of life cannot be ascertained, but it is stated by Mayor Finch that it cannot fail to be less 35. Willing hands by hundreds tore apart the smoking bricks of the fallen buildings. Hurling aside smoke-black- ened and water-soaked timbers and four hours after the collapse the man- gled and crushed bodies of seven per- sons had been tenderly moved by 300 workers and the forms of 13 Injured persons carried to the four hospitals of the city or to private houses after emergency medical attention. ‘The collapsed stores were the three- story Odd Fellows Building, oceupled by the dry goods store of Cheeves Brothers, crowded with women and children attending a white goods sale at the time, and the adjoining two- story implement store of T. J. Tingle. The buildings collapsed shortly be- fore 4 o'clock. The implement house was also doing a thriving business. ‘These in the buildings suddenly heard a sound of the groaning of timbers. A harsh crackling followed, and clerks and customers alike broke for the safety of the street. Pressed outward by the weight of the heavy implements and of the stock, the walls of the implement store swayed, sagged and burst through into the department store. In an instant ‘hundreds of tons of merchandise and wrecked and shattered building ma- terial roared into a tremendous heap of debris on the site of the ruined de- partment store, ipiling 30 feet high into the air and settling in a cloud of dust that rose like a pall above the Dpried bodies, while jagged timbers thrust ugly heads from the mass. After a moment of stunned amaze ment, of paralyzed inactivity, hun- areds of willing workers pitched into the ruins. Scarcely had they mounted. the beap when tongues of flames burst through St, and an alarm of fire was added to the confusion, From all over the clty came workers, hundreds of them, and as they came they were formed into relays by Mayor Finch and those assisting him. AS one shift became exhausted an- other took its place. From a mound of debris the smoking, steaming ruins became a crater. Bricks were hurled aside, timber torn out and cast into the street and mangled and crushed forms were tenderly lifted from the twisted mass of wreckage ond hurried to various hospitals in wagons. + TURKS YIELD TO POWERS. The Allles May Demand the Payment Of $200,000,000. Constantinople, Jan. 22.—Yielding to the demands of the powers, which it now appears amounted to nothing less than an ultimatum, the Grand Coun- cil of the Ottoman Empire decided late today to cede the fortress of Adria- nople to the Balkan allies and to Jeave to the powers the question of the disposal of the Aegean Islands. This action, it 1s believed here, will lead to the resumption of the peace conference in London tomorrow and an early termination thereof, with the allies complete victors in the war with Turkey and in the diplomatic confilct that followed it, without further blood- shed. HOW TO TREAT THE BABY. Don’t Pick It Up When It Cries, Says Noted Specialist. Chicago.—Dr. Stewart Paton, spec Jalist in mental hygiene at Princeton University, warned against picking up the baby when {t cries in an address here before the Mental Hygiene Con- ference, He sald this was the first step toward making this same child, grown to manhood, 2 mental defective, possibly an imbecile. “The baby soon learns that by crying it may get what. ever it yearns," he sald. “The next atep in development is a nervous child.

Washington—The Senate passed the Culberson bill to prohibit corpora- tions from making any contributions for political conventions or primary elections. The bill is an extension of the campaign contribution law enact- ed in 1907, under which corporations were forbidden to contribute to gen- eral election campaign funds. A penalty of $5,000 or a year’s imprison- ment for officers of corporations vio- Yating the law Is carried by the Dill. __WJES DISAPFOINTMENTS ti errs 1 ee c— | a ee i a <= aa 2 ANTISIPATION : 2 ee sy a a LS = a ee a Gs ee ae ep | ea SS feEN 4 —_ 7 : ee wepee ee hy an ey NES ~S eas “Fe* “Pe éCoBeARRES: REALIZE TSH Fight Rather Than Give Up -Adrianople. NAZIM PASHA IS KILLED. Shefket Pasha Appointed Grand Vizier and the Slogan Of the New Cabinet Is To Save the Natlonal Honor. - Constantinople.—A crisis in Turk ish affairs came Thursday with dra matic suddenness. The grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha, and the Ottoman Cab inet resigned, and Mahmoud Shefket Pasha, formerly’ minister- of war- and commander of the constitutional army, which enthroned Mehmed V. as sul tan, was appointed grand vizier. Nazim Pasha, the former war mints. ter and commander of the Turkish Army, was shot dead during the demonstrations here. - Enver Bey and Talaat Bey had given explicit orders that no blood should be shed, but Nazim Pasha’s aid-decamp fired from window of the Porte at Enver Bey and his com- panions, ana they returned the fire. Their bullets killed Nazim Pasha himself. The grand council, representing the ‘Intellect and wealth of the nation, Pronounced in favor of peace almost fat any price. A vast crowd drawn ‘from alt classes of the proletariat. de- clared for war, rather than peace without Adranoplel. And because the crowd was backed by general public opinion, the government surrendered and relinguished office, making way for the samo men whom the popular movement brought to the top after the revolution of 1908 and 1909. ‘The resignation of‘the Turkish Cab- inet, in which Kiamil Pasha “was grand’ vizier, was announced in the following official statement: “The decision of Kiamil Pasha’s Cabinet, taken in response to the note handed to the Turkish government by the European powers to abandon the fortress of Adrianople and part of the islands in the Aegean Sea and the convocation of an extraordinary as- sembly of the Grand Council of the Ottoman Empire, to which the Cab- inet's decision was submitted—a course contrary to the prescriptions of the constitutional charter and vio- lating the sacred rights of ihe people —roused the indigiation of the Turk- ish nation with the result that the people made a demonstration before the Sublime Porte and brought about the resignation of the government.” In the meantime Talaat Bey as sumed provisionally the portfolio of the Ministry of the Interior, and Izzet Pasha that of war. In ar interview Talaat Bey sald the movement had not been planned, but was the out- come of popular feeling owing to the attitude of the government with re- gard to Adrianople. If Adrianople were abandoned, he said, disturbances, would break out over the length and breadth of the empire. With regard to money, the whole nation would make a sacrifice. “No compromise is possible,” he continued. “The change in the cab- inet means that we are going to save the natfonal honor or perish In the attempt. “We do not want a continuation of the war, but we are determined to keep the Fortress of Adrianople at all costs, That is an itidispensable condition to peace.” TO BANISH LOBBYISTS. — Bill In Missourl Legislature To Make ‘Them Wear Uniforms. Jefferson City, Mo.—As a means of banishing lobbyists from the Capitol, Representative Stark has introduced a bill requiring members of the “third house” to wear uniforms. It is pre- seribed that a suitablé uniform would be a brown suit, red hat and green cravat, “I am informed by the attor- ney general that this is a legal meas- ure,” sald Mr. Stark, “and {t would banish lobbyists by making them ap- pear ridiculous.” FIRM STAND FOR . 0’Gorman Eloquent on Panama Tolls Controversy. HE TAKES ISSUE WITH ROOT. The Junior sender From New York 7 Makes a Vigorous Defense Of the Rights Of the United States. Washington—“We would indeed create a painful Impression abroad, I this «mighty nation should surrender to the control, of any forelgn power its domestic policies and the contro of its domestic commerce. That we can never do Shnd maintain the ‘prestige, the honor and the glory o! this republic.” This reply by Senator O'Gorman tc Senator Root marked the opening Ir the Senate of the fight against the Root amendment for the repeal of the .free passage provision of the new Pan: ama Canal act. “If Great Britain had expended a half billion dollars in an enterprise af. fecting her people as the Panama Canal does ours, what would be her attitude if the United States should ‘make complaint against her action?” ‘he asked. Senator O'Gorman declared that “the great remedy” which the Panama Canal bill carried was lost sight of in the demand for its change. The bill was aimed, he said, at controlling the transcontinental rallroads and pre venting a monopoly in transportation. Senator O'Gorman replied directly to Senator Root’s declaration that the United States was bound by the solemn pledges of its treaties to sub- mit to arbitration the Panama con- troversy. He declared the latest arbi- tration treaty negotiated with Great Britain had been defeated in the Sen- ate; while those now in force ex- plicitly exempted from arbitration questions involving the national honor or vital interests of the United States. “We have ample authority for the conclusion reached In the Senate last August,” said Senator O'Gorman. “The question before us {s: Shall we permit a foreign government to dic- tate, to the United States respecting our domestic policy? If our right to pursue,a domestic right is challenged by a ‘foreign power, our national integrity is assailed if we submit to such intrusion. “I can conceive of no question so vitally affecting our national honor and integrity as’ that a domestic policy, devised for the benefit of the United States and affecting the peo- ple of the United States, must first be approved by a foreign power.” TAFT WILL BE COURTEOUS. Will Revive Custom Broken By Col. Roosevelt. * / Washington—White House officials /announced' that President Taft ex- pects to observe one of the ancient customs of inauguration day, abandon- ed by his predecessor, and will ride back up Pennsylvania avenue, from the Capitol to’ the White House, with his successor, This custom was broken by Mr. Roosevelt four years ago. when he hurried from the Capitol to the Union Station to catch a train for Oyster Bay, leaving Mr. Taft to make the journey back up the ave- nue with Mrs, Taft at his side. ‘At the direction of the President, Col. Spencer Cosby, chief ald at the White House, on his recent visit to Governor Wilson, asked if the Presi- dent-elect desired that this custom be revived. Colonel Cosby reported that Mr. Wilson was anxious that Mr. Taft accompany him. GIRL BURNED TO DEATH.

OTHER FOREIGNERS IN PERIL The sisala sai Ranches and Villages and Committing | Other Desperate Crimes. | Washington. — Alarmed for the safety of Americans, whose lives are in jeopardy because of widespread lawlessness of Mexican rebels in Vera Cruz state and throughout Southern Mexico, the State Department again has called upon the Navy to protect American interests in the republic. The gunboat Wheeling was sent from Tampa, Fia., to Vera Cruz, where Americans are said to face a graver cfists than that relieved by the cruiser Deg Moines during the Diaz uprising, last October. ‘The request from the State Depart- ment to the Navy came after the re- ceipt of a long series of official re- ports from Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson and consuls in Southern Mex- ican cities, all reflecting a condition, of anarchy, especially in the State of Vera Cruz, where federal authorities face the problent of restoring civil order with a disorganized.and divided army Guerrilla warfare, brigandage, sacking of ranches and villages’ and other desperate crimes place Ameri- cans and other foreign residents in a state of constant danger and the latest advices to the State Department ex- press fear of an even worse condi- tion. When the Wheeling arrives in Vera Cruz harbor, Americans and the other foreigners will be taken aboard, and officials express the hope that her dis- play of armament may have the same meral effect that followed the arrival of the Des Moines a few months ago. ‘The action by the State Department indicates that the administration's policy of non-intervention will be ad- hered to, to the close of President ‘Taft’s term of office. MARRIED IN HER CASTLE. Helen Gould Now Bride Of Finley J Shepard. Now York.—In her turreted castle on the heights bordering the Hudson near Tarrytown, Helen Miller Gould, eldest daughter of the late Jay Gould, mistress of millfons and the idol of democracy, became the bride Wednesday of Finley Johnson Shep- ard, son of the late Rev. Peter L.Shep- ard, of Connecticut, and Eastern rep- resentative of the Gould railroad sys- tem. The sweet solemnity of the occa slon was emphasized by its magnifi- cent ‘simplicity. And after the Rev. Dr. Daniel Russell, pastor of the Irv- ington Presbyterian Church, had spoken the impressive words that made her a matron, the woman who has been termed “the most beloved in America” sent the following mes- sage to the public: “This is the anniversary of my mother’s wedding day.

Hixon, postmaster at East Washington, finds himself firmly riveted to his Job, although he is anxious to get rid of it. The East Washington that holds him is not in the District of Columbia, but a small village ten miles from Hillsboro, N. 1. Hixon had been country, storekeeper and postmaster there for seven years. He concluded he would remove to Massachusetts, and so sold out his business and sent in his resignation. He also sent,his family ahead to Mas- sachusetts. The post office depart. ment informed him he could not go un- til his successor was appointed and qualified, unless the office were dis- | continued, and so he waited. | The department discontinued the post office, but the-inhabitants of East Washington put up such a protest through Representative Currier that the department had to back down ané revoke its order to discontinuance. Hixon then gave up in despair. He re- called bis family from Massachusetts, reopened his store and [s now doing business as postmaster with grim de- termination. The post office is a fourth-class of- fice and the postmaster’s compensation amounts to about $200 a year.

FOUND HIS IDEAL What Happened When Frances Kennedy Went Coasting With the Little Folks. By M. DIBBELL. "Frances Kennedy, what prank are you up to now?" "Why, Aunt Flossie, don't you remember my telling you this morning that Elmer Bergen was going to take his sister and me tobogganing tonight? You don't think I would wear my hair up so it would all come down the minute we started to slide, did you?" The heavy braid, fell below her waist and a fluffy wool cap was pulled well down over her ears. Her dress reached her shoe tops, thus making a charming school girl of the mature young woman. Her aunt regarded her quizzically, "What a child you are, Frances; I don't believe you ever will grow up. The idea of a college graduate going to slide down a country hill with a small boy and his sister." "That is just where the fun comes in—I am tired of the conventional way of doing things. Good bye—I am certain to have a jolly time." She threw her aunt a kiss and danced from the room singing "Jingle Bells" at the top of her voice. "Bless the youngster. I only hope she keeps the child spirit all her life," thought Aunt Flossie as she watched her niece join Elmer and his sister at the gate and then pass from sight down the moonlit road. It did not take the trio long to reach the steep hill down which they were to slide, and when the girls were safely tucked in front of him Elmer said warningly before starting the toboggan: 'You must be prepared for a surprise at the foot of the hill, Frances—I shan't tell you what it is.' Then they were off, going faster and faster over the crusted snow. Frances enjoyed the slide immensely, until the "surprise came. This proved to be the shooting out into the air of the toboggan over the top of a high stone wall, and alighting of the same in the field several feet lower down with such a hearty thud that the breath was about knocked out of all three passengers. Elmer did not wait for the vengeance he knew awaited him, but as soon as he could regain his breath started away at a run, calling back with a shout of laughter, "How did you like my surprise, Frances—wasn't it fine?" Frances scrambled to her feet and started in hot pursuit, her long braid streaming behind. "Just wait till I catch you, you little wretch, and see how you like having your ears well boxed," she threatened breathlessly. Etta Bergen.remained in possession of the toboggan, laughing in huge delight at the exciting chase, until a warning shout sounded at the stone wall. She sprang aside just as another toboggan plumped down beside her brother's. "Oh, Roy," she cried, as she recognized the new comer. "You almost landed on top of me. I was too excited to think of moving, it is such fun." In few words she explained the cause of the chase going on before them. Big Roy Singleton watched Frances with admiration. "My, but she's a fine runner," he said shortly, "Elmer has met his match this time—look at the young scamp doubling back here for protection." "Save me, Roy," gasped Elmer, as he neared them. "Don't let me be scaled before your face and eyes," and he darted behind his friend to drop on the snow, after his run. Frances was too taken with her pursuit to notice anything but her proposed victim, and as she was almost within reaching distance when he swerved around Roy, she ran headlong into that young man's open arms. "My, but you are a wonder!" he cried as he held her tight. "I would never have believed that a mite of a girl could give Elmer such a hard run for his life if I hadn't seen it for myself." Frances struggled to free herself. "I am not a 'mite of a girl,'" she flared out wrathfully, "and how dare you hold me!" Roy released her instantly, looking decidedly sheepish. His first glance showed him that his escaped captive was not the child for which he had taken her. "I beg your pardon," he began stumblingly. Frances interrupted with a stamp of her foot. "Ot, bother, I forgot my hair--you are not to blame. Come, Elmer, is there any way out of this horrid field?" She turned her back on Roy and marched. toward the wall with Etta and Elmer and the toboggan trailing meekly in her wake. "We have to go up to the far end to get out," Elmer informed her, and soon the three were climbing up the long hill down which they had come. It was Elmer who broke a glum silence. "You aren't mad are you, Frances?" he asked contritely. "You know I only meant it for a joke, and it couldn't hurt you." "Yes I am angry, Elmer—but not with you. It is I who should have my ears boxed for acting like a goose." "What rot," was Elmer's answer. "You are the only nice grown-up girl I ever knew. Most of them are so stupid and slow they make me tired." Frances had to smile at this plain expression of opinion. "I am glad you like me, but who do you suppose that young man will think of a person of my age sliding down hill dressed up like a school girl" "Pooch," snorted Elmer. "I think you heard what his opinion of you was. Roy was twenty-four last June, but he likes to have a good time same as he ever did—has all the digging he wants, at the office and is in for some fun when he can get away." This was comforting to Franges' wounded self-cateem, but she utterly refused to take another ride down the hill, though Elmer coaxed. "I have had all the tobogganing I want," she said decidedly. "You and Etta can keep on if you want to, I am not afraid to go home alone." But they would not listen to this, and the three turned their steps homeward. "Just wait till I get a chance at Roy," grumbled Elmer to his sister after they parted from Frances, "Till give him a piece of my mind. If he hadn't butted in at the wrong minute Frances would have stayed out a long time." The evening following the toboganning experience, Frances was reading aloud to her aunt when a loud knock sounded at the front door, and she answered the summons to find standing before her big Roy Singleton. "I called to ask if I might have the pleasure of giving you a ride down the long hill," he said at once. "I am sure Mrs. Frencham will vouch for my reliability." Aunt Flossie on hearing his voice had come forward. "Why, Roy, you are a sight for sore eyes," she said heartily. "Come right in and let me introduce you to my niece, Frances Kennedy, who is paying me a visit." "I had the happiness of meeting Miss Kennedy last evening, and now I want to induce her to take another try at tobogganing," explained Roy as he entered. Aunt Flossie looked surprised, for she had heard nothing of the encounter. Frances had told her that she found coasting uninteresting. But with Roy on the scene the whole affair was soon made clear to her, and she laughed unrestrainedly at his account of the fleeing Elmer and his valiant pursuer. "I don't see how you could call such an incident uninteresting," she told Frances. "I thought you had been unusually quiet today, you little humbug." Roy's pleading was ably seconded by Mrs. Frencham, and the two young people started for the long hill, which was at the opposite side of the village from their former evening's exploit. Etta and Elmer came rushing up as they reached the summit. "Oh, I say, isn't this fine," cried Elmer at sight of them. "I take it all back, Roy, now you have made up with Frances and got her to come out again." That evening began a new era for Frances and Roy. It was not many weeks before the straightforward young man said to her, "Ever since I first held you in my arms I have loved you, Frances. I knew when you left me below the stone wall that I had found my ideal." Frances asked demurely, "Don't you think it was most unwomanly to throw myself at your head, and anything but an ideal action to lose my temper and stamp my foot?" "What would an ideal be like without a temper?" was Roy's counter question. "I fell head over ears in love with you on the spot—I know perfection when I see it." (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) "I had a little lesson several weeks ago," remarked the man with the gray mustache, "and it called me in good shape." "Go ahead," sald the stout man. "I was in the garage where I keep my car and happened to overhear a conversation among the boys. A certain man had been injured while traveling abroad—very badly injured, it was reported—and one of the boys was telling the others about it. "The story in the paper says he can't get well," the youngster went on. "Did you know him, Pete?" And the boy addressed promptly replied, "Sure, I knew th' old grouch." Say that hit me pretty hard. Here was a leading citizen dying and all the boy could remember about him was that he was a grouch. Yes, sir, it made me sit up and think hard. And I got in my mind that when I passed out I'd like to be remembered for something different." He paused. "That's worth considering," said the other man. "Good text," said the first man. "Good sermon," said the other.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Desirable Insect Immigrants. The Australian ladybird beetle came into California to destroy the white scale in the late 80's, and this was followed by the carriage of the same species of beetle, with equally good results, to Portugal, to Italy, to South Africa, and quite recently to Formosa, in all cases destroying the same scale insect. Another instance was the importation from Australia of certain parasites of the sugar cane leaf hopper into Hawaii, which is said to have resulted in the reduction of the numbers of the leaf hoppers to a negligible quantity. A gigantic experiment of the same kind is now being carried on in the importation of parasites and natural enemies of the gypsy moth and the brown-tail moth from all parts of Europe and from Japan into the New England states. A number of species have already been introduced and acclimated, and admirable results are expected from this work.—Exchange. HER "BIG BROTHER" Heath Garner turned out the light and flung himself defectedly into the inviting arms of his chair, and gazed at the heart of the glowing fire. The flames danced in weird fantastic shapes, first springing high and then crouching low along the logs until they leaped into space. Their antics were unheeded, for he saw only the face of Ethel Ward as she said. "Heath, I am going to marry a man I have loved a long, long time. Tell me that you are glad." Glad? Of course he was. Ethel was created for happiness. Lucky 'devil, whoever he was. Heath had heard of heartaches, but he had never suffered of the malady before; the loss of Ethel gave him a chronic case, for which there was no relief. Since the day before his sixth birthday, when her family moved to the house next door, they had been the best of chums. She was "introduced" to the social life of the little suburban town at his party. He vividly recalled the shy, dainty, golden-haired elf, as she clung to his mother's skirts. Her dress was white, and a huge pink bow poised like a graceful butterfly on top of her head. He was glad that she had no brothers to fight for her at school, and gave the other boys to understand that he was her sworn knight, errant, and no one ever infringed upon his right. When his exciting high school days were over, he entered an eastern college and Ethel attended a school at Washington. What pangs of loneliness he endured! How he longed for her sweet companionship! Even the splendid fellows who were his classmates were poor compensation for the loss of her congenial society. Then vacation time came and passed, much too quickly, but they crowded it full of happy experiences. Pleenics, canoe trips and horseback rides were taken over the glorious country roads. Finally they were graduated. He and his family accompanied hers to Washington. It seemed but yesterday. How proud they were when Ethel was named an honor student! To him she was the prettiest and best girl there. Any fellow that she deligned to notice should consider himself favored by the gods. Several weeks later, when he received his degree, he noticed her sweet face beaming, as he was declared to be "the best all-round fellow" in the class. Both families spent the summer abroad. They explored the chateau country of France, climbed the Alps and sailed up the Rhine together. If only he might relive those happy days! The voyage home was a trying experience. He felt the first, fierce pangs of the green-eyed monster. Ted Carter, from Virginia, happened to be on board, and from the moment he introduced him to Ethel, the pest had followed her like a shadow. When he left her for a moment, on his return he would find them engaged in a serious conversation. So engrossed were they that for several seconds his presence was unnoticed. Then he decided that no one had any right to claim even a minute of her attention, which should belong entirely to him. After dinner they promenaded for the last time, as they were to land at New York in the early morning. Heath shaded his eyes with his hand, trying to shut out the vision of her, sitting beside him on the anchor; as he told his love, begging her to marry him immediately. Her eyes glowed with that wonderful light which he remembered shone from his mother's eyes when the good-night kiss was given. He thought her won, but after gazing intently in his eyes she answered: "I am glad you are fond of me, Heath, but we are such good chums, do not spoil everything. You are my great big brother, and I can not exchange you for a husband." When Ted Carter did not visit her home, he knew that permission had been withheld, which was some consolation. A year had passed and they "chummed" together as in the old days. She had informed him of her intention to marry just as he left her home the evening before. With an unsteady voice, for his heart was pounding in his throat like a piledriver, he gasped his hopes for her happiness. He wondered where she had met the man. They were sure to be happy. If they were not, the man would have to account to him, her "big brother." He never realized how cheerless the library was before. The telephone bell interrupted this thought. It was Ethel, asking him to come over to discuss a matter of grave importance. He wondered what was wrong? She stood waiting for him at the door and when they entered the living room she said: "Heath, you forgot to ask me whom I intended to marry, so I called you over to explain." He never would have believed she could have been so heartlessly cruel, but he bravely asked the expected question. In answer she flung her arms about his neck and lightly pecked him on the lips, saying: "Do you mind 'if I marry you'—Buffalo Express.

The passing of Captain Austin from the head of the police de- partment of the city is looked up- on with much regret by a large number of citizens and especially by the Negroes. Under Captain Austin the Savannah police de- pertinent attained, probably, the highest point of efficiency in the history of the city and the force compared favorably with that of any other city in the country. He was chief not in name only, but in fact, and he safe-guarded the city in a manner which was pleasing to every law-abiding citizen. His treatment of our people was al- ways courteous, and for this we feel very grateful. It was he who put a stop to the brutal treatment which our people were receiving atthe hands of the police several years ago and made our beautiful city 2 place of peace and happiness for the Negro as well as for the whites. We believe that Chief Moldrim will continue the kindly disposed feeling toward us which his predecessor manifested and we trust and confidently believe that the present efficiency of the force ivill be maintained by him. Meo Monday witnessed the in: sauguration of Mayor-elect Rich ard J. Davant and his board of aldermen as the officers of our city government for the next two ‘years In his ineugural address, Mayor Davant reiterated his pre- election pledge to give the city of Savannah a clean, progressive and business like administration. He urged all citizens of all classes and creeds, to assist him in maic- jug the progress of the city what it should be during the years of his administration. Mayor Da- vant Stated that in conducting the affairs of the city that he would see to it that his administration is _AS rag fiom polities as it will be pessunle for it tobe. In solicit- ing the co-operation and aid of the citizems of Savanouh regard- less us to class of party affiliation, our new mayor, in his initial move, is taking the right step in the right direction. In the bud- ding of 2 city co-operation is as necessary as in the budding ofa private business or interest. Mayor Dayant will surely find av’ active co-operative spirit among, ‘the citizens of Savannah. ‘They realize that at this time they are approaching a most important. period in the development of this city. ‘They réalize further toat the greatest opportunity of the age to make our city the leading South ‘Atlantic Seaboard harbor is atour very doors. Casting all afliliations, religious, social and political to the winds. the slogao of the true hearted citizens of our city will be a bigger and broader Savannah. In seeking the aid and co-operation of all classes of citizens, we trust that our new mayor will not lose sight of our people. There is among us a law abiding, tax paying class that is ever ready and anxious to do any- thing in their power for the up- building of their city. ~ We be- lieve in our city and its future We havo striven in the past te contribute to its prosperity. .We hope that in the future our con. structive part in the development of our city will be even mor marked than in the past. We have no doubt that Mayor Dayan’ will find among his fellow citizen: of our race a large class of wid awake and progressive citizen who imbued with the glories o our city’s past with which the; had so much to do, stand _ read, and anxious to assist her in he onward march of progress in th future. Our slogan too isa big wer and,broader Savannah. Le us all get busy: and work towar this end.

The first day's conference was given over to the negro farmers. As stated in the program, the subject for discussion was "How to Secure Cheaper Money for Running the Farm." This put the problem of agricultural credit in terms that the negro farmer understood, and was interested in. Representative negro farmers from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas described the present condition of the negro farmer in the states from which they come and the present methods of obtaining loans, rates of interest and so forth. Individual farmers told how they have succeeded in reducing the principal and rates of interest upon their yearly loans. R. L. Smith of Waco, Tex., who is the head of a negro farmers' co-operative association in that state, which has established a bank, discussed the subject of co-operative credit and the success of the Texas farmers in cutting down the item of interest in the farmers' annual budget. Charles Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, which supplies a large share of the funds necessary to conduct the agricultural operations of the farming community in which the little negro town of Mound Bayou is the center, discussed the question from the point of view of the man who makes the loans. One of the features of the day's proceedings was the exhibits showing some of the results of the demonstration farming work being done in the several counties adjoining Tuskegee Institute where the demonstration method of teaching farmers has been in operation. The report of the demonstration agents was followed by a distribution of prizes to the corn clubs organized and conducted in these counties. The second day's session of the conference was the meeting of teachers, principals, school trustees and others actively interested in school work. The subject for discussion was: "How to Secure More Money for the Public Schools." Teachers and principals of schools in Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia described the present condition of the schools in their home communities, and the various means employed by the county school teachers to secure the interest of white planters, county school superintendents, and others, in meeting the needs of the negro schools. They will also report upon the extent to which the negro farmers are taxing themselves in order to improve the school building and lengthen the school term in different local communities. Repreensntatives of the Anna T. Jeanes fund, for the improvement of negro rural schools, and also the new state supervisor of negro public schools in Alabama spoke at this conference session. Philadelphia, Pa.—Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed the students at the University of Pennsylvania in Logan Hall. His theme was "The Progress Made by the Colored Race During the Forty-nine Years of Their Freedom." At the conclusion of his talk he was asked about the intermarriage of races. "We do not teach it," he replied quickly. Le Siecle of Paris, France, publishes from the Colonial Bulletin the following article under the headline "An Example." The negro throughout the world will learn with pleasure and satisfaction of the great recognition given a representative of the negro race by the great government of France. The French republic is not afraid to honor such of its black citizens as deserve honor and who, by worth and achievement, deserve it. The march through Fashoda several years ago of a portion of the French army was under the command of General Dodds, also a representative of the negro people. The French seem to believe in the "square deal," and are not afraid of giving honor to those to whom honor is due. A new skyscraper, a six story Odd Fellows building, to cost $135,000, is the work of a Negro contractor, Mr. R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta, Georgia. This is only one of a great many buildings he has erected, among which is Sale Hall of Atlanta Baptist College, and the First Congregational church of Atlanta. Dr. G. W. Gates, late president of Fisk university, died at Winter Park, Fla., a suicide from wounds in the throat inflicted by his own hand. Continued ill health is supposed to have been the cause. The punishment for bad manners and habits is more certain than the punishment for crime. The man who does not seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, will find little else that will do him much good. Tuskegee, Ala.—Booker T. Washington, principal and founder of Tuskegee institute, the famous school for negroes, delivered a characteristic address in the chapel of the school to nearly 1,600 students, 200 teachers and several hundred colored citizens from the town of Tuskegee and the Greenwood settlement. Much interest was attached to the address, because it was the last talk to the student body and teachers for the old year and because it was expected that the address would touch upon future work of teachers and students. The address was delivered without notes, stenographically reported, and it was characteristic of the practical and helpful discourses Dr. Washington delivers Sunday evenings to the school. Washington's address emphasized two principles as applied to the negro: the value of organization and the necessity of obedience and discipline. Summing up his arguments and stressing the need for respect of authority, he said: "One of the fine results, satisfactory results, following the mastery of that lesson is that in any organization, a school or what not, where people have learned that great fundamental lesson of respect for authority, obedience to commands, you will find order, there you will find peace, there you will find absence of friction, there you will find success. Now, let me repeat that one of the differences between ignorance and intelligence, between crudeness and culture, consists in the fact that an individual has learned obedience, respect for authority and the other has not learned it, and don't make the mistake that so many people make, often educated people make, that to obey is a sign of weakness, is a sign of degradation; to obey is a sign of strength; to obey is a sign of all that which indicates nobility of character. I want you every day to get into your blood and bones and practice it in every avenue of work, here, the lesson that if you want to be useful, even great after you leave here, learn the lesson of obedience; practice it here and through all times." Throughout the country there secms to be an awakening to the fact that the Negro is to be a hewer of wood and a drawer of water just so long as he is satisfied to be that. Positions above the menial class must come if they come at all, through cooperation among Negroes along commercial lines. The duty of patronizing race enterprises is being talked everywhere. And just here it is well to caution the Negro in business against the fallacy of trying to do business solely on his color. In order to get a share of even the Negro's business, he must adopt and use those methods—often inexpensive—which spell success for other business people. He must be reliable, keep a decent place, as against a dive, or hang-out for the worthless; he must let his place of business be noted for cleanliness and up-to-dateness. In short, he must not only prepare to win success, but to deserve it. He must stand ready and willing and fully able to "deliver the goods."—Dallas Express. There was a run on the Mechanics Saving bank, colored, in Richmond, Va., caused by a carpenter who tried to cash a check after the closing hour, and because he was refused, spread the report that the bank was broke. The run was handled by the officials in a masterful manner. Always be the first to see the bright spot in a black, sky, and your face will soon begin to look as good to those you meet as a barrel of apples does to a boy. White principals and teachers have been in control of the public schools of Charleston, S. C., since these schools were first established. The introduction of a Jim crow street car ordinance has aroused many of the colored leaders to realize now the injustice of white teachers continuing in their schools to the exclusion of prepared negroes, whereas formerly they felt flattered by having them. It is argued that these leaders are acting in a spirit of retaliation. No matter if they are—being aroused to action on this subject is the essential thing just now. An investigating committee of the C. M. E. church has found Bishop Stewart guilty of embezzlement of church funds, and voted his suspension. Of the money handled by the bishop over $43,000 could be accounted for and $10,000 could not be traced. White men made Jack Johnson, and now the belief is growing that his recent troubles have been brought on by attempts of white men to break him. True to the growing racial consciousness, negroes have gone to his rescue. Attorney Gilchrist Stewart, sent to Chicago by the Constitutional league to investigate the case, says: "Owing to appeals to race prejudice, we shall have to make a great effort to save him from the penitentiary." All doors fly open to the man who has plenty of sunshine in his face. AS TO TAILOR MADES Basque Coat Is Seen Everywhere on These Costumes. Revival of the Newmarket and the Directoire is Also Noted—Trim- ness Always the Main Thing to Be Attained. NEW YORK—Every woman is at present discussing the new tail- or makes. They loom so large on the modistic horizon and the details are just now so enthralling that there is scarcely a tea table where the subject does not rise to the surface above the clatter of the teacups during the hour, between 4:30 and 5:30. Those, too, who have been too precipitate in choosing their outfits for the coming months are repenting at leisure, in view of the tempting models over which the tailor is expending much thought and attention. The basque coat is making its appearance to such an extent that it can no longer be ignored. Everywhere one sees it. The accordion plaited basque has struck the newest note of all. It is chiefly to be seen in conjunction with the velvet suit, and is, of course, only possible to the woman of tall, slight figure, who has nothing to fear from the introduction of superfluous fullness, the basque being about fourteen inches deep and plaited as closely as the young 'debutante' ball gown of the eighties. In nearly every other case the fronts of the basque are cut away, while there is more than a mere suggestion of the Newmarket coat which was worn twenty-five years ago. In the pocket flaps which appear on the seam of the basque, the manner in which the latter is split up in the middle of the back, and in the trim tautness of the whole costume. With the revival of the Newmarket there is, beside, the revival of the directoire. The tall, slim woman looks her best in the little cutaway coat. 1 with its long postillion coattails, its upstanding turnover collar, and its huge striped revers. These latter are a feature of the coats in almost all styles for winter wear. But where is the Robespierre collar where the morning costume is concerned. Want of Trimness Gone. Every woman who looked confidently for these features of fashion among the new styles is metaphorically rubbing her eyes at their sudden disappearance. Gone, in fact, is everything which seems to suggest a certain sloppiness of style or want of trimness. Once again we have our collar bands concealing the throat as completely as we revealed it in the summer and surmounted, as the season advanced, with a tiny strip of fur, which, against the pink and creamy smoothness of a good skin, will act as a most potent and valuable beautifier. The new and curious relics of ornamentation as regards these collars is supplied by a little square of filmsy lace, hardly larger than a doily, which hangs suspended from the top of the collar in front over the vest like a bib which has been attached under the chin. And here, indeed, is the new note modified and softened into feminine gulse, but unquestionably following the masculine idea, nevertheless. The taller suit which is to be first in favor and most in demand is the suit which faithfully follows the lines of a man's morning coat in some thick and heavy but plain and fairly smooth material, while the skirt is of striped suiting, such as supplies the correct trousers with the morning coat. Falling this strict adherence to a man's fashions, there are numbers which are being made in two materials, the cone being perhaps fashioned of corduroy velvet with a thick heavy rib, and the skirt of plain cloth, or the new "wallpaper" velvet, which has a pattern stamped lightly upon it, but not embossed, so that it suggests a flat wallpaper design and which is also worn with a cloth skirt. Mole is, curiously enough, once again the popular color. One sees quantities of mole suits, just as one did five years ago, and with these there are waistcoats of bright tomato red or tangerine cloth or velvet trimmed with tarnished gold or silver braid, and perhaps a few buttons. Three-Quarter Length Coat. The three-quarter length coat bids fair to replace the long coat of last season and some of the models are attractive enough to insure the success of this new fashion. Those of clothing trimmed with fur seem particularly good in that they may do double duty, serving for both day and evening wear. Quite the prettiest Paris' design up to date is one carried out in old rose colored broadcloth on simple but new lines. This model is edged about neck, hem and sleeves with black fox fur bands of varying widths and a matching muff is carried, giving a correct finishing detail to which the French woman always gives careful attention. Cut on kimono lines with diagonal closing in front, the sleeves are cut separate and attached flatly to the coat shoulders without running off the corners. Some of the new one piece dresses that are worn under the three-quarter length coats are real style innovations. A one piece frock on tailored lines, ideal for a short, stout figure, is of black velvet opening over a white full length-vest front that shows bib fashion above the empire belt. Below the black velvet empire belt is placed one of folded white satin, so that the becoming empire effect is retained while the natural waist line is defined by the vest belt. While satin buttons and overbound buttonholes close the white satin front and the black velvet strap fastens under a cord ornament. Plattled wrist ruffles of white net are almost covered by plaited black chiffon. More elaorate in workmanship is another gown with skirt of oddly draped black satin, as if the train had been drawn toward the front. The upper part of the corsage is red moire. This introduces also the once popular pelerine collar, a fashion detail noted in many of the late models. This pelerine collar, a fashion detail noted in many of the late models. This pelerine is lined and pliped with black satin; the revers and cuffs are of the same material. Style Lines Break Traditions. A curious point of the afternoon gown is the way the style lines break the usual traditions. The neck of the dress is cut lower than is usual in daytime models; deep, transparent yokes are left unlined with within single sheer thickness of chiffon, and the ankle peeps startingly through the crossed skirt draperies or slashed seams. The muff of this winter is to continue the prestige gained for its predecessors of last year and previous ones and is to be worn morning, noon, or night. There are evening muffs as well as day muffs, and muffs for every occasion, for the car, pedestrianism, the theaters, visiting, and so forth. Why does not some one revive the girdle muff, the muff shown in an old drawing of an English woman of 1588? It is depicted as a trifle of a muff, a mere fairly when compared with the giants of today. But it has a more than passing charm (slung from the girdle and would own the merit of always being there when wanted and not easily lost. Alas! the modern muff is of a truly vagrant behavior. The great big fat muff is the smart one' of the day and the basis upon which others are designed. Made of tailless ermine, it is given a bordering of skunk and a demure little black velvet bow through which a few sprigs of heather are thrust. To agree with the ermine and skunk muff a quaint looking 'tippet and cap are worn. The tippet has a high, fold over collar, and it and the cap are decorated with skunk. Another black velvet bow is added, centered like the first, with mother-of-pearl slide. One variation of the flat muff has a triangular front and another has double points. A third has rounded corners and is trimmed with a broad band of opossum, finished at one side by a plaque of handsome embroidery in the bright peasant colors of Bulgaria. The rest of the muff is carried out in black panne, of which material the cap is made. A throatlet of opossum completes the trilo in the case. The bolster muff recalls the fashions of the time of Charles II. There is on record a muff of that period that sounds delightfully smart. It was made of yellow silk with a black fur edging, and another developed in minner has a modern note about it, for it was trimmed with a blue rosette. Walking Costume. Cloth, serge, tweed, or any firm woolen fabric could be employed to advantage in the costume illustrated. The skirt has a double wrapped seam down center of front; trimmed above the rounded corners with buttons, a piece of material fills in the opening. The coat is a little high-waisted, and has the joining of basque to bodice part hidden by a patent leather belt, buckled in front; buttons trim down center of front, also the collar and sleeves. Felt hat, trimmed with velvet and a feather mount. Materials required; 5 yards 48 inches wide, 1 dozen large and $1\frac{1}{2}$ dozen small buttons, 5 yards silk for lining coat. WIT and HUMOR Father and Brother of Cash Martin Extremely Agitated by Sudden Reappearance of Latter. Cash Martin was the most brilliant boy in his community. Whenever the neighbors got tired of discussing the weather or wondering why the hens had stopped laying, they turned themselves into a propheying circle for the benefit of Cash. The future of Cash unrolled itself before their admiring gaze in limitless splendor and led to a towering pinnacle of greatness. One day excitement in the village became intense. Cash had decided to leave home and wrest from the cold and cruel world that fame and fortune which must surely be his. One-old man opined that Cash would be gone 20 years and return with his pockets bulging with the wealth of J. P. Morgan. Another declared that at the end of 17 years he would come whirling through his native town on the rear platform of a special car in his campaign for the presidency of the United States. Cash listened to all these predictions with a smiling ease that indicated his belief in everything his admirers said. Then he went away. One week later Cash returned, and, worn out by excessive walking and terrific underfeeding, strolled into his home and asked his mother for a piece of bread. Cash's younger brother went to break the news to Cash's father, who ran a sawmill. There ensued this dialogue: "Pop. Cash is come back, by George!" "Has he, by George." "Yes, by George!" "By George!"—Popular Magazine. The Kind Lawyer "Now," said the fatherly old lawyer, "what's the trouble?" "I want a divorce. My husband has no regular employment, and besides he, is cruel. He throws knives at me." "Throws knives at you, eh? That's a queer fad. How long has this been going on?" "Several years." "Then you must have become fairly expert at dodging knives." "Oh, yes; I can dodge them all right." "Now, my girl, look here. You don't want a divorce. Make up with your husband and take your knife throwing specialty into vaudeville. There you are; all your troubles settled at one crack." Only One Jolt Left. A Chicago man who has a son at Cornell took occasion while on the way home from New York recently to stop off for the purpose of seeing how the boy was getting along. It happened to be just after the Cornell football team, which has undergone many humiliating experiences this season, had been beaten by Colgate. "How are things going with the Cornell football team?" the father asked, pretending to be seeking information. "The Cornell football team!" the young man exclaimed with all the disgust that he could put into his tones; "It has been beaten by everything except the Colonial Dames!" POOR. Hoax—How does Kutem rank as a sculptor? Joax—He doesn't cut much of a figure. A Specimen. "Our doctor says nothing pleases him so much as the appropriate in all things." "Then I suppose he is charmed to attend a grass widow with the hay fever." Appropriate Color: "Jaggs came home last night much the worse for wear and insisted he had seen a lot of black snakes." "Well you know Jaggs' family is in mourning." FOR HIS WIFE'S EARS ONLY Business Man Couldn't Find Redeeming Feature in Makeup of His New Stenographer. "How do you like your new stenographer?" "I don't like her at all." "What's the trouble?" "Oh, she isn't any good. If it wasn't such a bother to break a new one in I'd let her go tomorrow." "I understood from what your chief clerk said that you considered her a gem." "He must have been thinking of the one I had before. There was a woman who had some sense. She was old enough to pay attention to business instead of thinking of her clothes or her beau. I'm mighty sorry she inherited money so that it wasn't necessary for her to keep on working." "I was in to see you yesterday. Sorry I missed you. I had a little talk with the new girl. She seemed to me to be rather interesting." "You wouldn't think, so if you had to have her in your office." "Isn't she good at taking dictation?" "Fair—that's all. As soon as business lets up a little I'm going to discharge her. I don't want her around the place. Just now we are so badly rushed that I couldn't get along with a green girl who didn't know anything about our line. And the next time I'm going to try to get a woman who has got past the frivolous age." "I thought the way she spoke that she was keenly interested in your business, and that you probably placed a good deal of confidence in her. Mighty pretty, too. A regular peach. I'm surprised that—" "Sh-sh-sh! Confound it! Can't you see that my wife's listening?" J. Guest—Ten dollars a day! Can't you make a reduction? I'm a robber. Hotel Proprietor—What's that to do with it? Guest—I thought perhaps that you recognized the profession. Apprehension. "You are nervous, sir, are you not?" "Yes, sir. I shall be nervous until the drafting season is passed and gone." "The drafting season?" "Yes—for cooks! I live in the suburbs, you know. We are divided into leagues out there—major and minor, and each league is further divided into classes. To the major league belong those families whose cars cost more than 2,500, to the minor league those whose cars cost less. My family is In Class B of the minor league, which means that our cook is subject to draft Class A of the minor league and all the classes of the major league. A number of scouts have dined with us, and—in short, I fear the worst."—Puck. Took the Tall End. The Lancashire people are fond of dogs—in fact, they're very proud of them, and, therefore, when a prominent dog fancier came home one night and found his son had bought a nondescript mongrel he was rather riled. "How much didst the gle for that dog?" he inquired. "Five shillings," replied the son. "Five shillings," replied the son. "Tell thee what A'll do," replied the parent. "A'll go shares wi' thee. A'll gie thee half a crown for ma share." The half crown was duly paid; then the father remarked: "A'll tak' t' tall end, and A'm goin' to kick my half, outen t' door!" And he did—London TitBits Why He Remembered "Well, Tommy, what did you think of Venice?" "Oh, I'll never forget Venice!" "No doubt you were profoundly impressed. What did you see there?"

Second Ditto—Then how are you going to wear the fashionable gowns? Exceptions. "The immensity of nature strikes everyone with the same awed feeling." "No, it doesn't. I took a girl to the circus once and she told me she thought the hippopotamus was cute." "Didn't say herself she was going to be round with him?"
