The ASHBURN THE CAPITAL OF TURNER COUNTY Thriving, Town of South Georgia—Colored Citizens Energetic—Own Many Homes—Interested in Education and Social Betterment Ashburn is one of the thrifty towns of South Georgia. It is the county seat of Turner, and traversed by the Georgia Southern and Gulf Line railroads. Originally a forest of pines, the remnants of which are noticeable, cause conditions to be very healthy. The town is surrounded by some of the best farms in the State, and in this respect our people are holding their own. The per cent. of colored home owners compare favorable with that of any other locality in the State, and many of them are modernly designed. One of the most substantial men in the town is Mr. Gabe Davison. It is stated that his check is good in any of the three banks of the town for substantial amounts. Mr. W. J. Ayers is one of the most thrifty men of the race in the town. He is a model citizen and enjoys the esteem and respect of both races. He is a brick mason and contractor of no mean ability. The town abounds in brick business buildings and all of them, but very few, were erected by him. The handsome white Methodist Church, the new bank building, the high school building and many others bespeak his excellent workmanship. He has a well appointed home, presided over by a model wife and blessed with two fine children, Willie Mae and "Sam." Mrs. Ayers has been for nearly fourteen years the efficient Grand Secretary of the Grand Chapter O. E. S. of the State, also one of the Grand Auditors of the Court of Calanthe. The public school is presided over by Prof. Thomas, son of the late Geo. F. Thomas of Hawkinsville. Prof. Thomas is well qualified for his work and has added some very helpful features to the curriculum of the school, domestic science for the girls and the industries for the boys. Prof. Thomas was highly commended by the school commissioner for his efforts and it is expected that substantial help will be given him by the school board. He enjoys the esteem of the patrons of the school, who are vieing with him in its success. In the school there are three teachers, among them is Miss Margaret Robertson of this city. Miss Robertson is one of our model young ladies and her friends here will be glad to know that she is enjoying the confidence and esteem of the people of Ashburn and is beloved by, her scholars. She is domiciled at the Ayers' home. A normal school is also being conducted there, Mrs. Maggie Richardson Hardaway, of Savannah, being one of the teachers. The Masons, Odd Fellows, K. of P., and their auxiliaries are flourishing there. The Baptists. A. M. E. and C. M. E. have churches there. The Baptist Church is pastored by Rev. T. H. Minor. The services are well attended. Last Sunday morning the sermon was preached by Rev. Johnson. The singing by the choir and congregation was inspiring. In the early evening the installation services of the pastor took place. The edifice was crowded. The sermon was preached by Rev. Strong of Americus, assisted by other pastors. The services were interesting. At this service the little son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Ayers was christened. Miss Bessie E. Foster of Savannah and The Tribune representative were the sponsors. This ceremony was simple and impressive. During these services the choir rendered several anthems and a beautiful solo was sung by Mrs. Hardaway. Miss Bassie E. Foster of Savannah spent several days there as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Ayers, who made it very pleasant for her. The series of sermons Rev. N. M. Clark, the pastor, is preaching from Revelation is being well appreciated by the public as is seen from the large attendances every Sunday. Services for to-morrow: 6:30, early prayer meeting; 11:00 a.m., preaching, "Letter to the church at Philadelphia"; 3:30 p. m., Sunday School; 6:30 p. m., B. Y. P. U.; 8 p. m., sacred concert. VOLUME XXVIII Beth Eden Baptist Church Lincoln and Gordon Streets Among The Masons. Annual reports with fees must be in the Grand Secretary's office not later than March first. Several reports have already been received. Many of the Lodges have neglected to send in the election returns with addresses. Do we need to say that the tendency is very strong to depreciate the good qualities and the good works of men while living, and to only praise them when they are dead? Men are apt to be cold, critical and uncharitable—often unjust in their expressed estimates of those with whom they are associated, trying, as it would often seem, to magnify faults and to underrate virtues. How poorly we learn the lessons of Freemasonry when we indulge in this sort of censorious speech? Let us be more ready to note the virtues of our brethren, and less willing to call attention to defects which attach to our common human nature. Let us keep in mind the pledges which we have taken as Masons, and so he a little more considerate and kind to one another.—Ex. It is an oft-quoted Masonic expression that Masons work on the square, that a good Mason should be a square man, and various other applications of the square. A square has four sides; therefore, the good Mason who is a square man must build up four sides of his character. A Mason makes himself known among his fellows by signs, tokens and words, but he is known to the world through the four cardinal virtues; therefore, the four sides of a Mason's character ought to be Fortitude, Prudence, Temperance and Justice. These form a perfect square, and each Mason who practices in his life.and conduct these virtues may well enjoy the distinction of being a square man and Mason.—Illinois Freemason. An observing brother says: "A very old man said the other day that the happiest hours he had ever spent in a Masonic lodge was when there was no work. He said that in his younger days the lodge had work only occasionally and that the time was put in socially or by discussions of the purpose and intent of Masonry. It was a frequent occurrence for some member of the lodge to give a little address to the members on some phase of the institution and when this failed the members catechised one another. Nowadays if a lodge has no work on hand the members hardly think it necessary to have a meeting." It is too true. There was once upon a time a strict injunction laid upon members of the craft to make some daily advancement in Masonic knowledge. It is still recited in lodges, but it falls on deaf ears. We seem to consider ourselves bound, in these more material days, merely to grow physically big, let our mentality be what it may.—Tyler Keystone. Miss Rosa Belle Lindley of 'Atlanta, Ga., Entertained. On Friday evening of last week, Messrs. Jos. J. Brown, Edgar Blackshear and Ed. H. Burke entertained with a St. Valentine social in honor of Miss Rosa Belle Lindley of Atlanta, Ga., at the Savannah Home Association Reading Room. The evening was one of capital entertainment.

Dancing, card playing and the distribution of valentines were the features of the occasion. A few remarks were made to the guest of honor by Mr. Ed. H. Burke, after which a very beautiful recital was given by Mr. Jos. J. Brown. This took place in the reception room on the second floor. At the conclusion of the short program, the guests, to the strains of a beautiful march played by Mr. W. G.

Daughtry Heads Union-St. James Church Scene of Exercises—Banquet Enjoyable Feature. On Wednesday night of this week the Evangelical Ministers' Union held their installation services at St. James A. M. E. church, Arnold and Perry streets. The attendance at these exercises was very gratifying, especially so in face of the inclement weather of that night. The church was com- fortably filled and those who dared the distasteful weather were more than paid for their courageousness. Rev. P. F. Curry, pastor of the church, acted as master of ceremonies, and the Rev. T. N. M. Smith, presiding elder of the A. M. E. church, made the installation speech. The new head of the Union is the Rev. W. V. Daughtry, pastor of Asbury M. E. church, Gwinnett street, west. The sermon of the evening was preached by Rev. H. E. Smith, pastor of Gaines Chapel. It was very impressive and one of the most profound discourses the Union has heard. After the exercises in the auditorium of the church the Union and visitors repaired to the basement where a very enjoyable banquet was served. The officers of the Union are: President, Rev. W. V. Daughtry; Vice president, Rev. M. H. Rutherford; Secretary, Rev. C. W.

The fifteenth annual Georgia State Industrial College Farmers' Conference was held at the college at Thunderbolt Thursday and Friday of this week. The conference was very interesting and the discussions of the various subjects proved very beneficial to those who availed themselves of the opportunity of attending the sessions. Much spirited rivalry was manifested in the various competitive contests for prizes which were held by the conference. To the young ladies of the domestic science department of the college, one of the most interesting features of the conference was the dinner which they gave to their mothers on Thursday noon. The affair was very enjoyable. The conference ended Friday night with an entertaining lecture. chairman of vigilant committee, Rev. L. A. Townsley; Chaplain, Rev. E. D. Giddens; Treasurer, Rev. B. S.

Bishop of Atlanta will preach at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Habersham and Harris streets next Wednesday night Feb. 26th at 8 o'clock. As it is the first time that he will have preached in St. Stephen's since the division of the Diocese in 1907 it is to be hoped that a large crowd will be out to hear him. He has done an excellent work among the people of the entire state and has endeared himself to all sorts of people irrespective of religious affiliation. A powerful speaker who knows what to say and how to say it, it is refreshing to have him in our midst once more. A cordial welcome to all. Hearty congregational singing.

By JOHN -LINFOOT: ieee eceerer te ree wae aa ooo, looked out of the windéw of the West- bound Limited. Neat farm houses, well tilled fields, flew, past, with sleek cat- tle that looked up, munching content- edly, out of the lush grasses. - It was the prairle country of Iowa, the re- gion of black earth and farmlands, the nation’s dairy and the center of her agricultural wealth. Boys with pitchforks, farm-hands seated above their harrows, guiding the draught horses, glanced carelessly at the speeding train and turned to their work once more. They were contented with their lot. Such might have been Bremerton’s. And he, who, until two months before, had been a man feared and respected in the greatest part of America, a power in ‘Wall street, against whom a host had banded themselves and barely pre- valled—he found himself almost envy- ing these countrymen. “It looks like my home country,” he reflected, as¢he caught sight of a distant range of Iow hills, blue in the haze of the afternoon, “And to think that I might have been living here, perhaps with my few acres, happy. never knowing or caring of anything that lay behind these hills!” ‘The train, slowed, drew into the sta- tion, waited a few moments, and then puffed cut again. A man came Into the éarrlage and stopped at Bremer- ton’s side. The financier looked up with a start and unconcealed impa- tence. “Excuse me, sir, but are you John Bremerton?” asked thé other. “Well?” Bremerton demanded curt- ly, “T was sure that I was on your track. I knew I had recognized you. I want the inside story of tho failure of the Cornucopia bank. I am a repre- sentative of the Iowa Free-Soller.” “Good Lord, man, that story has been printed Th every newspaper be tween here and Kingdom Come.” sald Bremerton angrily. “Don't you read the metropolitan press out here?” “O yes, Indeed,” said the reporter, smiling, “but you know, Mr. Bremer- ton, that the story has never come from your own lips. You have suc- ceeded in secluding yourself from all the newspaper men. Now It would be @ great feather in my cap if you would give me an exclusive inter- view.” Bremerton softened a little. With the loss of his fortune, the wreck of all his hopes, with nothing at all saved out of the ruin, why should he not at Ieast be instrumental in bring- Ing a fragment of reputation to this young man at bis side, whose per- tnacious good humor had already won his sympathy. “You see, sir,” the reporter contin- ued, “of course we have all the de- tails of the failure. We know that you were made the victim of an un- serupiious gang of financiers who wanted your properties. Nobody has ever breathed a word against your re- putation. When the crash came you went back, faced the music, and came out with flying colors. But what are you going to do now? You are an fowa man by birth, are you not? And you never married, Mr. Bremerton? Have you come back to settle in your state and marry your first sweet- heart? I want a real human story.” “A real human story!" repeated Bremerton mechanically, and smiled a little bitterly at the frony of events which had left his life, except for his widened experience, just where it had been when he had left Framington, a penniless country boy, fifteen years before. And his first sweotheart— Lizzie Gray! She was only fifteen then and he twenty-one, but he was going to become rich and famous in the metropolis—perhaps he would even make twenty dollars a week— and then, when that miracle occurred, he was going to send her the fare to come'to him, and they would live hap- pily all their lives. He had written— every day for a month, then every oth- er day, then twice a week, once a week, once a month; after a year his letters ceased. After two yenrs he had stopped thinking of her. He had heard, not long afterward, that she was married. “Framington! Change here for Des Moines!” shouted the conductor, and Bremerton started up hastily and seizg his suit case. He had taken paseag2 to Des Moines, although he had been indifferent where he went Now that he reflected, he had selected that place, subconsciously, as it were because the train passed through Framington. Ho had wanted to sec the old town again. Standing upon the platform he found the reporter at his elbow. He had entirely forgotten him. names of them. There was Jim Haw- Jey, the carpenter, still bending over his bench, industrious as ever; there the same old orchard in which he had gathered stolen apples when he was a boy: Then he was passing into the ‘open country, and always his feet led him toward his father’s home. He had refused to rent the old place after the old people had died, from some sentimental motives which he was ashamed to confess to himself. How empty and forlorn it looked, with {ts boarded windows, and the gardén, once trim, but now, overgrown with weeds. And at the end of the lane was the Grays’ cottage. ‘That was not forlorn, but stood, trim and immacu- late as ever, in its neat litte garden. A woman was walking up the lane She had turned in trom below, just where the Gray cottage abutted on the pike. She would seo him whén she came out of the bend 4 few feet from the stile. Bremerton remem- bered how his heart had hammered that morning he had first kissed her. It was here, and Lizzie had walked Just as she walked now, unconsclous ‘that he waited there, He had wanted to run away, as he wanted to run now. And she had looked up sudden- ly'and scen him, just as she looked up now. And both had trembled, just as both were trembling now. And he had kissed her, just as he kissed her now. * For the rush of the years was swept away, and they were boy and girl again beside the rustic stile. And it was only afterward, when they started guiltily away, that they re- membered. Bremerton remembered that he was a mature man, verging upon middle life, who had lost all the happy as- pirations and ideals of youth. And she. . . . She had hardly changed except that her figure had grown mature and her face more thoughtful, graver. . “You are—not married then?” he stammered. She looked at him coldly, the flush of shame slowly fading out of her cheeks. s i “How can you ask me that, John?" she sald. “But I heard—I heard—" “That's why you ceased to write?" He had ‘never been able to deceive Lizzie. Now the old Impulse toward confession burned in him. “No,” he answered, “I ceased to write before I was told. But still, I am sure that if I had not heard so I sbould some day have come back.” “To redeem yours pledge, John? Well, I release you from it. So ‘lét your consclence rest. My school occu- pies all my lifeandis my whole inter- est. While you—you are. or were. a very busy man and a very famous one.” “Then you have heard?" he asked. “Of course I've heard of you, John Bremerton,” she answered. “I—we have all followed your career with the &reatest interest,” she continued, col- oring faintly. “You know we are all proud of you in Framington.” “Were proud,” he corrected. “Are proud, John,” she replied, looking steadily into his eyes. “Be cause you fell fighting like a man, and never did a single dishonorable thing. And when they got you down it was they who were disgraced, not you. I am glad you came back for this little while; Jobn, so that I could tell you this~that we all believe in you.” : . “O, Mf only I had never gone!” he ered. “If I could have life over again T would stay here and live out my Ife with you. I've been a fool, Lizzie, and in searching for the pot of gold under the rainbow I found the gold— but I guess I missed the rainbow. But now the gold is gone and the rainbow is still shining, Lizzie, I've come back to stay—with you.” “With me?” she repeated. “With me, John?” “I want you,” he cried. “I have ‘never known what happiness meant since I went away. And even though I ceased to write and—well, forgot you—I always had a vision of time when I should come back to you. But you see I thought 1 had lost the right to come. Lizzie, dear, I have found ycu again. I want to keep you. Will you be my wife?” { “You—you mean that, John?" she stammered. “But—Oh, no, John, you are just cbivalrous. I am not for you now; your place is in the city, where you will again make your mark —while I—” : He drew her into his arms, and ‘she lay there at last, happily.

One of them was recently removed from the Architectural museum, in Tufton street, to Westminster hall, where, high up in a niche of the left wing, in the shadows, he was observed by a member of parliament. This member set the ball rolling by ask- ing who was this fine gentleman with the beard, on whose head was & crown, and in whose left hand was the ‘orb of royalty. | ‘The king's right arm is shorn off ‘at the shoulder. In the ordinary course of events he should have held a scepter. His nose also is miss- ing. | On inquiry it was learned that two ‘more nameless kings, apparently of ie same period of art, would short- ly be moved to Westminster hall from the museum in Tufton street. Fur ther, it was discovered that the name- less kings were only returning to their rightful home in the shadows of the heights of Westminster hall. ‘Sixty years ago the kings—so the story goes—were removed hurriedly from the hall to the crypt, owing to a small fire that broke out. Proba- bly this accounts for their dilapidated condition. Here the three monarchs langulsbed for about ten years, unno- ticed and uncared for, until the mu- seum authorities obtained the loan of them, . * Recently Lord Beauchamp decid. ed to place them again in the hall, and the two others will shortly join the lonely king. ‘The mystery of who they are re- mains to be solved. Apparently the work is cf the fourteenth century. Some gay the three are the same king at different periods of his life; oth- ers that all three are meant to be Edward Il. There is something tragic about the king who stands in the shadows of the niche in the hall. The stone 1s blackened with age, and he frowns down on monarchs cre- ated by modern artists. The white figures beneath him each have Ittle tablets proclaiming to all who they are, but the bearded king, minus an arm, scepter and nose, stands ’name- less, waiting his comrades in thet: similar sorry plight. How He Knew. With malicious chuckles the con- nolsscurs of New York are retailing a story, perhaps apocryphal, about J. Tierport Morgan. | Mr. Morgan, the story runs, was In- vited by a Fifth avenue dealer to view a beautiful set of antique ivories. He tnsnected the fvorles, he praised thelr loveliness, he even admitted their cheapness; but, shaking his head, he ended: “There's only one trouble. A doubt still persists in my mind about their antiquity. That, of course, is an In- surmountable objection; for In all the vast Morgan collections there 1s not a single object about which the shadow of a doubt exists.” - The dealer, exasperated at losing a sale he had counted on, forgot him: self and retorted: ‘That is not so, sir. I, personally. know of five objects in your watch collection alone that are neither gen: uine nor antique, but merely modern copies.” “How do you know that?” Mr. Mor- gan asked havghtily. “Because,” replied the dealer, “I sold them to you myself.” SLEEPS LATE ZFEX Wt : S V\epses BETA WA Se eas) Hie reaiaf VAAE Rew Fe. fe HI| \.

Small change was more common in Saxon days than at later periods in English history. For, while the Nor- mans coined nothing but silver, the earlier Saxons were accustomed to the use of brass in addition. The num- ber of things—not always metals—of which British coins have been made is surprising. Jullus Caesar ts said to have coined leather money in Brit- ain, James I, tried pewter and gun- metal and some antiquaries have thought that pieces of coal were once used as money. At any rate, coal was once a slang term for money, as is the French braise (live coal) at the present day. Enthustastic Approval. ~ * “How did you lke the male quar- tette?” "T Iiked it.

As an actual sound, heard by the sleeper, frequently becomes part of his dream, usually ending it, there is a theory that the sound is also the cause of the dream. For example,tho ringing of,a bell, according to the theory, causes the mind to recede, in ‘point of time, and construct a piece of imagery, or a serfes of images, com- ing to a climax and ending abruptly ‘at the ringing of the actual bell. This is diMcult to belfeve, and there is no proof of its truth. There 1s evi- ‘dence that dreams occur in much shorter time than seems to the dream- er; yet to say that the ringing of a ‘bell could be both the origin and the final shock of the spectral drama ts equal to saying that the play upon the Imagination is instantaneous. In a more logical, though less sensa- tional theory, the dream gould be un- stood as origination without reference to facts or disturbances In the ex- ternal world. After a series of scenes in tho sleeper's mind, a bell rings near him. He receives the impression and associates it with more or less relevancy to the situation at that stage of the dream. It may be that he is dreaming of a man walking along, a road. The man on the road goes hither and thither and takes part in episodes that as yet have no bear ing upon any fact In the external world. Upon the ringing of a house- bell near the sleeper he dreams that the dream man rings a dread bell. Thereupon the sleeper wakes. Whilo this is a fairly good evidence that the bell diverted the course of the dream from what it might have been, the proof is lacking that that bell is responsible for the complete fan: tasy, { There {s another theory that the mind dreams continuously during sleep, and that only at certain inter- vals is there an effort upon the mem- ory. While this may or may not be true, there Is every reason to believe that the sleeper has been dreaming for some time before associating with his dream a sound from reality near him.—Harper’s Weekly.

A short time ago Mr. Baumbach received a letter from Fredonia, N.

The Woman across the: hall reported to the owner of the property that she had listened at the court window and heard a very odd conversation going on between the man and woman. : The woman's shrill voice accused the man: “You stole them portieres, you know you did; and you stole that go-cart for the baby, too; you know you did.” “Yes, I did," replied the man’s voide complacently. “I stole the por; tieres because you had been wishing for some, and your mother liked them 80 well when she saw them that she asked, me to steal a pair for her, too.” They movéd out the next day by request. 7 And Thie From Boston!

More- over, it shows that unless the great vulk’ of black folks is reached more thoroughly by the softening influence ‘of education and Christianity, this pre- judice will be unconfined and uncon- trollable. After all, In most instances, it fs not the color primarily that works against the race in the matter of com- mon justice and ordinary accommoda- tions, it ig the disgusting lack of de corum, the bolsterousness, the lack of everyday refinement and the general “cussedness” that characterizes ever- more of a very great number of the race.

Education—education of heart and soul and head and hand— that Is all that can save the race.— Louisville News. There have been a great many negroes in the past fifty years who neglected to protect their ‘rights in thelr inventions, and have dled poor and unknown. The story is often told of one such New Yorker who In- vented many of the earlfer railroad car appliances while employed by a cer- tain railroad, but, failing to protect any of them, was defrauded of his rights and died in poverty. Such eases are always tragically pathetic. ‘Negro inventors should be careful to patent their work. it 1s not possible to estimate thelr value until the de mand ,for them has been measured. Some ‘of the simplest inventions, like the bread-saving knife and the hook and eyes for dresses, have been the most useful and profitable—New York Age.

The freedmen’ of 50 years ago ‘were as poor as poverty could be, and as ignorant as darkest Africa. During the summer the African race dwelling in southern California will hold a gol- den Jubilee, and it {s claimed that 25,000 of them will participate.

Let them cut out the practice, as it {s not a good one, in fact, the white man who “hangs” around negro festivals is not there for any good and should be given to understand that his presence is not wanted. He is a germ breeder of trouble, and if we can't get rid of him, quit giving the entertainments.

White Material, So Long Popular, Has Lost Some of Its Vogue—Crepe de Chine One of the Smartest ‘That Can Be Chosen. combinations of materiais is been made, and equally unusual combinations of color have been concelved. The color -note which was reflected on the white waists has deepened Into an entire blouse of a brilliant hue; and each day brings forth new styles, not only in the fash- foning of the blouse, but in the shape of the collars, the sleeves and in the trimmings. The Interest in blouses was’ aroused this winter after they had been ‘overshadowed for several seasons by the one-piece costume. The new blouses, however, are quite different from the regulation white shirtwaist, which has come to be part of What might be called “The American uniform.” Just why the white shirtwaist has been so genezal- ly adopted in this country will ever remain a mystery to the student of dress. It certdinly is not an econom- teal choice, for it requires frequent trips to the laundry, whence it may reappear in a wearable condition, or it may not, the chances being about equal. Yet a white shirtwaist fs not ‘a Joy to the tye unless It fs freshly laundered and immaculately clean. ‘The inabarmonious ensemble result- Ing from the decided contrast In color at the waist Ine, and the practical cutting of the figure in two, fs not becoming to the average woman. ‘ Blouse to Match Skirt. The safer choice {s, undoubtedly, the blouse matching the skirt In col- ‘or. The material, however, may -be a contrasting one, brightened by dis- creet trimmings where color may be used. It is a very simple matter to add a toiich of color in the cravat, the piping, the vest, or even the collar and cuffs, andthe result is delight- fully effective. The new embroideries, which fairly sparkle with radiant, glowing colors, are just the thing to use in this effért to introduce the col- or note into a blouse of neutral color- ing. A dash of burnt orange will work wonders on a blouse of taupe, or smoke grey, and a little Chinese embroidery, in the lovely blue tones of the Orient, will lend a distingulsh- ing effect on a blouse of the new sand tint. ‘The blouses of white. cream or ecru net are not considered as dressy 23 the lace or chiffon creations, and it is correct to wear them with the tail- ored sult. They are kept delightfully simple, with Just a Tittle tucking, witch may or may not be gathered into a joke. The pleated Jabot lends a becoming soft finish to the front of the blouse, conceals the front opening and matebes the pleatings which edge either side of the cuff. The delicate belge colorings, deepening even to the cafa au lait and the sand tints, have a little more dash than the all white, especially when discreet touches of black are added. Though fragile’ in appearance, these net blouses faré well In the “tender” hands of the Taundress, and asythey can be worn without froning they are often chosen for travellag. Chepe de Chine Very Smart. * ‘There is nothing smarter or more serviceable to wear with the tailored sult than crepe de chine. Blessed with the stanchest of wearing qualities, crepe de chine comes from the laun- ary in far better condition than mus- lin; It shakes quickly out of wrinkles and creases, does not show dust and other signs of travel, and possesses such an attractive sheen that it ts sufficiently dressy for almost any oc- casion ‘when a blouse would be cor, rect, even when it is simply Snished with lingerie collar and cuffs. ‘The smartest models are severely plain, but they derive all the necessary chic from the cut, which {s decidedly man- nish In effect. They are fashioned on lines very similar to the mannish shirts of wash‘silks. The new crepe do chine; ike the wash silk, also comes in stripes, ranging from the tiny pin stripes to those a quarter of an inch in width. The simplest mod- els haye the front fastening, with small fancy buttons continuing the color note of the stripes arranged in groups of three or six, and a soft turnover collar and cuffs of Ingerle or organdie, finished with a scalloped edge, Ikewise repeating the color of tho stripes.

Crepes Rival Cotton Volie. Cotton volte has a serious rival in the new crepes. To be sure, the vole washes fer better than the crepe, which has a most annoying habit of shrinking almost beyond the limits of endurance, but one can make allow- ance-for this when buying or making the waist. This seeming defect almost Vanishes from memory when one gazes at the new crepes, with their effqctive plumetis embroidery or rich Oriental borders. The blouse of plain white crepe has been lost sight of in the array of embroidered blouses. The Butgarian embroidery has been found most effective on these white crepe waists. The beauty of the Bul- garian embro{dery Hes wholly in the colorings, for there {s no such thing as a distinctive Bulgarian stitch, Any embroidery stitch may be used, and almost any pattern, but the design must be outlined in black if it ts to be called Bulgarian. The blending of the reds and blues, greens-and yel- lows Into a crude but on the whole artistic combination 1s likewise ‘char- acteristic of this type of embroidery. ‘The triangle, which 1s used so lavish- iy as trimming on the white crepe blouse shown In the sketch, {8 carried out in the Bulgarian colors, which are also reflected in the vest and sleeves of printed cotton. Fulness In Blouses. One of the’ features of the new blouses {s the increased amount of ful- ness. The shirt waist now actually Justifies its name and “blouses,” not only in front and in back, but at the sides. This negligee air is delight- fully becoming to the tall, slender girl, but It 1s woefully trying to the woman with a nlore mature figure. Jt reaches {ts climax in the new Russian Dlousts. The new adaptation of the genuine Russ{an blouse $s not as long as {ts pfototype, for it reaches only to the hip Ine, but it possesses the same loose, baggy effect and like it 1s belt- ed around the walst. It has 2 low, rolling collar, one, of the thick, bunchy collars which have been adapted from the eastern costumes, soft turn-back hy a Cae fs ey Cir cuffs and occasionally a yoke. The sleeves are slightly full, with the ease and comfort that distingufsh the bisb- op sleeve, and the fulness at the wrist fs taken care of by tiny tucks and fancy buttons.

The severe reprimand which Re- corder Schwarz recently gave to one of the patrolmen because of his uncalled for use of his club on a person, brings out in bold relief the character and covrage of the man who graces the ollice of Judge of the police court. In his lecture to the patrolman, Recorder Schwarz made it clear that he would not tolerate any uncalled for or indiscriminate ‘use of the club by the patrolmen of our city. On the other hand he cautioned the patrolmen to refrain from the use of the club unless the circum- stances made it absolutely neces- sary. Since the induction into oflice of Recorder Schwarz, the scales of justice have indeed been wellbalanced The rich and poor, theold and young, the black and white, all, have received their just dues as they have merited them. The office of Recorder has been dignified in its occupaney by Judge Schwarz—Long live the erudite judge of our municipal court, who has the manhood and courage to stand up forjustice and fair play to all alike regardless as to race or position. The movement instituted by the Dove club in placing a ban on boat ‘excursions on account of the pro- Aibitory prices for boat hire now scharged by the boat company, cannot but meet the hearty approv- sal of all of us. There is no reason whatever why this ban should not become general among our excur- sion giving organizations. For some time, we have had much mis- givings as to the moral and finan- cial value of the river excursions. We believe, as others do, in enjoy- ment. We believe that there are times in the life of every one when there should be a pause from the busy marts of life and when a few hours should be spentin relaxation or amusement. In fact, we be- lieve, that occasional amusement is a necessity. However, we do not believe that this amusement should be obtained at the sacrifice of manhood and principle when the same is not necessary. According to the Doves, and our investiga- gation has substantiated their claim, the management of our river boats has increased their prices for hire by alarge per cent. ‘This in addition to the Jim Crow tactics in vogue during last season makes it obligatory upon each of us who posesses one iota of race pride and manhood within us, to stay off the boats during the coming season. There are to be found among us a number of desirable parks and out- ing grounds owned and controlled by our own people and to which our pale can go for amusement. Wo'sa@no reason why these places should ‘ot get all of our patronage during-the coming season. Our owners of parks and outing grounds should catch the cae and begin at once to makemore.attrac. tive their places of amusements. Let them put in more lights, swings, merry-go-rounds and othe: forms of amusement on thei grornds and then bid for the out. ing trade. If they do this, we be lieve that the Doves and simila organizations will give them thei encouragement end patronage. Persuant to plans, it is expected that the next few days will witness much activity among the Negro business and professional men of our city, preparatory to the hold- ing of their second inter-scholastic track meet for the benefit of chari- ty. Most of us, no doubt, will readily recall the meet of last year, which was such a success and which enabled the Association to turn overa very substantial sum to charity, According to- plans now laid, the meet of this year is expected to surpass the one of last year in many respects. It is also expected that the meet will bo held a few days earlier this year than last. This annual effort on the part of our business and pio- fessional men in behalf of charity is to be‘commended and should re 4 SS —— TRAINS DAILY TO WASHINGTON .

(2) Honesty and popularity (3) Money and confidence- Experience the greatest of all qualifications enabled us to accurately trace up to the want of the people, and then depend on the never-failing system of ‘‘square, dealing” to keep them. Honesty, our second qualification, we are told is the “bess policy”. (ap- plause). Money, our third qualification, it is said, is the “root of all evil,” this may be true, because we grow so rap- idly that we haye ina short space of time almost covered the state with our branches.

PARADE TO BE RECORD BREAKER - Inauguration Pageant to Be an Unusually Long One. WARNING TO THE GRAFTERS. 25,000 Soldiers and At Least 20,000 Civilians In Line—A Rear Guard — Limit On Washington.—The military feature of the inaugural parade practically has been completed, according to announcement by Major General Leonard Wood, grand marshal. Present figures indicate that there will be nearly 25,000 soldiers and sailors from the regular and state militia services in line. Robert N. Harper, chairman of the civic organizations committee, told the inaugural committee that at least 15,000 marchers would be in his section of the parade. This will be composed of political clubs and other organizations of a semipolitical nature. In this section also will be the governors and their staffs from states that will not be represented by militia. Governors of at least twenty states are expected to be in the line of march. To date, it was announced, the State of Ohio has outdone all other states of the Union in sending representatives for the procession and inauguration ceremonies. Formal notification was received by the committee that the entire Ohio legislature will adjourn for several days and come to Washington in a body. Colonel Allen, chief of staff to Major General Wood, told the inaugural committee that it was planned to have a rear guard from the United States Engineer Corps to keep stragglers in line. The quadrennial harvest of Washington hotels and restaurants secured by rates charged to inauguration visitors was threatened by a joint resolution introduced in the House by Representative Johnson, of Kentucky, chairman of the House District of Columbia Committee. The resolution recites that citizens desirous of attending the ceremonies "have generally complained that they have been required to enter into unreasonable contracts at exorbitant prices. As a remedy the resolution would provide that the rates charged by "hotels, lodging-houses, boarding-houses, cafes, restaurants and similar places of entertainment" shall be the regular rates charged during the year prior to February 25, 1913. A penalty of a $100 fine for violation is fixed by the resolution and the defendant is made responsible for the maintenance of the complainant in Washington during the litigation if the complainant should prove his case. ARBITRATION WITH FRANCE. Present Treaty Extended For Another Period Of Five Years. Washington.-Secretary Knox and Ambassador Jusserand signed a convention to extend for another period of five years the Arbitration Treaty between the United States and France, which will expire March 12. This is similar to the British arbitration convention, which expires because of limitation June 4, and which it was proposed to replace by the general arbitration treaty now awaiting exchange of ratification. EMBASSY MUST MOVE. U. S. Ambassador In Paris Has Received Notice. Paris.-The United States Embassy in France is about to be turned into the street. The landlord of the house in which the embassy offices are situated, on the Avenue Kleber and where they have been located for 15 years, has given notice that the place must be vacated on April 15, as he intends to transform it into a hotel.

London.—The latest dispatches from New Zealand indicate that Captain Scott and the four men who made the final dash to the Pole with him in January, 1913, were the only ones who perished. It is believed that after reaching the Pole Scott and the four men with him, Dr. Wilson, Captain Oates, Lieutenant Bowers and Petty Officer Evans were overwhelmed on the return journey by a blizzard, and their bodies found by other members of the expedition who had been left behind at the various supply depots on the trail. [Image of a man in a military uniform]. CAPTAIN SCOTT Scott did not perish until after accomplishing the object of his perilous trip—the discovery of the South Pole. From records found with the bodies of the party it was shown that Scott reached the South Pole on January 18, 1912. Captain Scott, before he perished, reached the exact spot at the South Pole that was reached by Capt. Roald Amundsen. Documents found on the bodies of the Scott party, according to wireless message received here today, showed that Scott found the Norwegian flag Amundsen had planted and also located the hut erected at the Pole by the Norwegian.

Young Rossiter, who had learned that his father and the police were about to take him to a sanitarium, barricaded himself in the attic of his home and fired upon his parent and Kerstetter with an old musket when they went up to get him. The father was also seriously wounded. Young Rossiter is in the county jail. NEW LINCOLN MEMORIAL. University Of Illinois Formally Dedicates $250,000 Building.

OF ALLS THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE CANVASSED Wilson and Marshall Formarly Elected. SENATOR BACON PRESIDED. House and Senate In Joint Session Ceremoniously Follow Constitutional Regulre- Washington.—With elaborate ceremony, the Senate and House of Representatives in joint session canvassed the electoral votes of the various States of the Union and officially declared Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, and Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, elected President and Vice-President of the United States for the term beginning March 4. Senator Bacon, presiding over the joint session, proclaimed the election when, to the crowded floor and galleries of the House chamber, he delivered the following proclamation prescribed in the official rules: "This announcement of the state of the vote by the president of the Senate pro tempore shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons elected President and Vice-President of the United States, each for the term beginning March 4, 1913." Democrats of the House and Senate greeted the announcement with a round of applause. The galleries joined in the demonstration and the dignified Senate, led by Senator Bacon and two tiny pages bearing the wooden caskets containing the electoral vote certificates, returned to its own classic confines, far from the noisy hall of the House. The usually noisy exuberance of the House proceedings was quieted by the advent of solemn senatorial dignity when the proceedings began, and even the galleries seemed to appreciate the seriousness of the occasion when Senator Bacon announced that no applause would be permitted. The nature of the House eventually asserted itself, however, and there were cheers and handclapping and yells as the canvass proceeded. The recapitulation gave Wilson and Marshall 435 votes; Roosevelt and Johnson, 88 votes, and Taft and Butler, 8 votes. The certificates of all of the States were received and counted and there was no response to the formal demand of Senator Bacon as to whether there was objection to the recording of the vote. Senators and Congressmen To Be In Suffrage Parade. Washington.—Carried captive behind a banner inscribed "Women helped elect these men," members of Congress from those States having suffrage will march in the suffragist parade March 3. It was announced at national suffrage headquarters that at least 40 Senators and Representatives would be in the procession. All who desire to take part, however, were cordially invited to do so in a letter of invitation sent them by the suffragists. SINGLE TERM DEAD. House Judiciary Committee Decides Not To Report Any Such Bill. Washington.-The House Judiciary Committee voted not to report any bill this session which has to do with lengthening or changing the President's term of office. This action effectually kills the Works resolution for a six-year single Presidential term, which was recently adopted by the Senate. Six Thousand Garment Workers Get Ten Per Cent. Advance.

J.—Prospect, the home of Dr. Grier Hibben, president of Princeton University, was the scene of the wedding of Mrs. Grover Cleveland, widow of the former President of the United States, and Prof. Thomas Preston, of Wells College, Aurora, N. Y. The ceremony was performed by Dr. Hibben. That there was an attempt to keep the news of the wedding secret, at least for the day, was evident from the fact that inquiry at the Cleveland home at noon was met by a denial of the marriage. The report was verified, however, at Dr. Hibben's office. The ceremony was performed in the presence of only the immediate family of the bride and bridegroom and Doctor and Mrs. Hibben, both of whom are close personal friends of the parties. Engaged Last Fall. The announcement of the engagement of Mrs. Cleveland and Professor Preston, which was made last October, caused much surprise, as they had not been acquainted many months. Professor Preston, who is about 50 years of age, is professor of archaeology, a scholar and a linguist of international distinction and has held for years a high place in Wells College, of which his bride is a graduate and trustee. He occupies the chair of archaeology A. MRS. THOMAS PRESTON at Wells, but rumor says he will be added to the faculty of Princeton University. Before her first marriage Mrs. Preston was Frances Folsom and her wedding to Grover Cleveland took place in the White House. Lansing, Mich.—The Odell bill, providing for the sterilization of mental defectives and degenerate criminals confined in State institutions, passed the House by a vote of 72 to 16. Two years ago the bill passed the House and was defeated in the Senate, but it is expected to go through the upper house this year. JAPAN'S NEW PREMIER.

Scarcely five feet in height, slender, with a mild almost timorous voice and a pair of very round blue eyes, Mrs. Wells presents an P appearance about as formidable as that of a kitten. Yet she has been permanently appointed as a regular member of the police force of a city of 400,000, subject to the same regulations, vested with the same authority, and under civil service, as any male member of Los Angeles's bluecoat squad. She makes arrests and prefers charges in the same way and with as much success as any police man, and is a very substantial vindication of the power of personality in an institution where brute force and a six-foot stature have formerly been thought to be indispensable prerequisites. Here is what she says of His interest aroused by a glimpse of the newest South American heirs, senorita Mervella Estudillos, whose beauty has conquered all Paris, King Alfonso has announced an approaching visit to Brazil. A While there he will be entertained by the parents of Senorita Estudillos, whom he met in Madrid last year, and whose charm and vi- vacity first aroused his interest in the new world. Senorita Estudillos is the most famous of those belles who have changed the title market of Europe from North to South America. She is a great friend of the princess Murat and is besieged by a host of suitors. At one time the crown prince of Servia saw her and demanded an introduction. She flatly refused to meet him. Of late the name of Senorita Es- To the thousands of members of the Patrons of Husbandry, or, as it members of bandry, or, as it is better known, the National Grange, throughout the country it will be of interest to know that the founder of the society, Oliver H. Kelley, is still living in Washington at the age of eighty-eight. It is 45 years since the society was first started, and it has grown is better known, the National Grange, throughout the country it will be of interest to know that the founder of the society, Oliver H. Kelley, is still living in Washington at the age of eighty-eight. It is 45 years since the society was first started, and it has grown steadily until it is today one of the largest secret organizations in the world, and wields a tremendous power in the ranks of the agriculturists. Oliver H. Kelley was a clerk in the Strong advocacy of pensions for civil service employees is a striking fea of pensions for civis a striking feature of the annual report of Henry L. Stimson, secretary of war. PETER H. Regarding civil service retirement, he says: "In my last annual report I expressed myself as being heartily in favor of some measure by which employees of the federal government might be re- tired and pensioned when they reached a condition of impaired usefulness Olive Culture Not New in California Olive culture is one of the oldest fruit industries in California. The first orchard was planted in San Diego in 1769, and that county is a large producer of olives and olive oil. There are large orchards in other counties, and every year adds to the number of trees. There are thirty-eight counties reporting over 1,000 trees each, ranging from Shasta on the north to the Mexican line on the south. The number of trees, as reported by the state board of equalization, is about 1,200,000 in bearing. Los Angeles leads with 320,800 bearing trees. Statistics of this industry are difficult to obtain. It has not heretofore been attractive from a remunerative point of view, but the removal of competition with adulterated oil by the pure food regulations has given it quite an impetus. Estimates of the production for 1910 range from 750,000 to 900,000 gallons of olive oil and from 1,000,000 to 1,250,000 gallons of pickled olives. a phase of police work: "And do I carry weapons? No, indeed. That is something which I do not feel called upon to do. I am very firmly convinced that under the right conditions a policeman would not have to carry a weapon at all. But before the policeman can give up his gun and his stick, weapons must not be sold indiscriminately to citizens. The only reason now that a policeman requires a weapon is because the other fellow may have one, and the law must enforce its demands against all objection. It is a very sad commentary on our civilization that guns and brass knuckles are displayed openly for sale, and that almost the only restriction in our most careful communities is a provision for a license, which is easily obtained." Mrs. Wells is the first woman to be appointed to a police force in any city of the United States. The woman detective, the police matron, the probation officer, the district nurse, are all places which have been filled by women, and were of course the forerunners of that policewoman. But while they were vested with partial police authority their power was greatly restricted along certain well-defined lines, and they did not work in recognized co-operation with the police department. tudillos has been linked with that of Count Boni de Castellane, through his having told some of his creditors he expected to marry her, but she laughs such an alliance to scorn. The South American woman abroad is becoming a rival to her northern sister. She is attracting the attention of the shopkeepers, for she is as rich as the North American, and even more lavish with her money, made from mines, vast ranches and estates in Argentina and Brazil, and even Chill. These beauties, descended from noble Spanish and Portuguese who have lived in the new world for a hundred years, are vivacious and sparkling and love gayety and movement, and they are the most notorious flirts in the world. Flirting is an art with them. It is never vulgar, but is a fascinating, tantizing thing, and the South American girl can give points to all the world in this art. Already there are many rich and famous beauties in this colony in Paris that are being sought by titled Frenchmen who are looking for fortunes as well as beautiful wives. department of agriculture at Washington when he conceived the idea of founding the Patrons of Husbandry. He was deputized by the government in 1866 to make a tour of inspection through the southern states, to report upon their agricultural conditions and to advise as to the best means of improving them. The widespread demoralization of the farming population of the south, following the Civil war, convinced Kelley that organization was absolutely necessary for the farmer's self-protection, as well as for his advancement by the use of scientific methods of cultivation and the enactment of laws favorable to the agricultural interests. Upon his return to Washington Kelley, with six others, established the National Grange of Patrons of Husbandry, in December, 1867. after years of faithful service. I earnestly renew that recommendation. I regret the attack made against the retirement plan during the last session of congress, when an effort was made to attach a limited tenure of office rider to the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. I believe the effect of such legislation would have been to overthrow the merit system. The tendency of the merit system, as established by the civil service law, is to make service, in a classified position under the government a life work or profession, and some sort of retirement provision follows as a necessary consequence, just as it does in the army, the navy and the judiciary, if the best results are to be secured."

There is no spot in all India where there are so many caste distinctions as in England, and none where those distinctions are so rigidly enforced and observed.

Wheat, Siberian Cherry, Arctic, Currant Wood That Will Not Rot, and Forage Capable of Being Hybridized Found in Arctic. Washington.—More strange and curious fruits and plants than usual are noted in the "inventory of foreign seed and plant introduction just issued by David Fairchild, the chief of the bureau of plant industry of the department of agriculture. The present inventory contains a number of the agricultural finds of Frank N. Myer, the agricultural explorer, who recently returned from two years in Manchuria and Siberia. One of his finds is a new variety of winter durum wheat obtained from the Russian agricultural experiment station in the government of Samara. It is called Teskalid and has been bred for cold resistance. It lived out through the snowless winters, where all other varieties of wheat were either killed outright or severely injured. It is thought this will be especially valuable for cold, dry regions of this country, where no wheat has been grown heretofore. Many of Mr. Myer's finds, coming from the interior of Siberia, are adapted to a cold and semi-arid region, and therefore are likely to be of use in extending the dry farming belt of the United States. One of them is a forage plant of the astragalus family, a branchy, upright plant that is really eaten by cattle and that seems able to stand any amount of cold drought. He also has found a forage-plant that in these days of plant breeding, it is thought, can be hybridized as a forage plant. It is a relative of the famous sulla, but this has never been grown in the southern states owing to its susceptibility to frost. The new plant that may be crossed with it grows in Siberia as far east as Lake Bikal, and promises to furnish a new and good forage where such plants are greatly needed. Now that Alaska is getting so thickly settled, there is a demand for fruits that will live there, and Mr. Falrchild speaks of the Siberia cherry that has been found by Mr. Myer as very promising. It is a bush cherry growing no more than four feet high, but the fruit, while small, makes an excellent preserve. It lives outdoors at a temperature of forty below zero. The natives use the preserve instead of sugar in hot tea, and Mr. Myer says the combination is by no means as bad as it sounds. But the arctic cherry is gone one better by an arctic black currant that he found growing out at a temperature of —JS. This, it also is thought, will do well in Alaska. One of the curious finds that has come from South America is a fiber plant that grows on the dry plateau bark of Mahia. It is said to be more resistant to sea water than the best Manila hemp, sfands drought and grows a large crop to the acre. Dr. Gustave Eisen of the California Academy of Sciences has contributed a new plum from Naples called the Papagone. It grows three inches long, has a small stone and is reputed to be the finest flavored plum in the world Another curious thing that comes from South America is a new variety of tall forest tree. The wood is purple and very oily, with a slight sweet scent. The most remarkable feature of it is that it is proof against the attack of ants and is absolutely everlasting. Posts made from it and stuck in the ground never rot. Trunks and furniture made from it are insect proof. There are scores of other remarkable botanical finds. All of them are being tried out in the experimental gardens and such of them as seem adapted to any particular locality will be given a trial under actual field conditions. Like the almanac makers and the ancient astrologers, the weather specialists are now planning to extend their forecasts from six months to a year ahead of time. If the Carnegie foundation gives an endowment of $3,000,000 to inaugurate an international weather bureau, which is said-to be probable, the work will be undertaken by meteorologists. "It is the dream of the weather man ultimately to make accurate weather forecasts for a year," said Prof. Henry H. Clayton. The noted scientist, of New York. "This could not be done in the United States, for instance, solely on data that could be gathered within the boundaries of this country. Information gathering stations would have to be established in the remotest places of the earth to furnish data to all countries. The institution would have a quasi-government relation, similar to the Red Cross society." Was a Clever Thief. Officials at the treasury department discovered the other day that a trusted woman clerk—a counter—had been tearing small pieces from bills, patching them together and making whole bills which she substituted for bona fide notes. The woman was discharged from the government service, but will not be prosecuted. The forty dollars she had extracted was deducted from her salary. There were 52,485 women sixteen years old or over employed in the Many Women Are Workers a statement just issued by Director Durand of the bureau of the census, department of commerce and labor. The statistics were prepared under the direction of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population in the bureau of the census, and are subject to revision. While the figures are preliminary, it is believed that there will be no important changes in them. The figures given in this preliminary statement, refer only to the gain fully employed women sixteen years old and over—but provisional figures tabulated by the bureau of the census show that there also were seven girls six to nine years old and 432 girls ten to nineteen years of age, making a total of 52,927 females gainfully employed in the District of Columbia April 15, 1910. This is 30.6 per cent. of all the females of the District on that date, or 36 per cent. of the females ten years old and over. Of the gainfully employed women sixteen years old and over, 13.7 per cent. were from sixteen to twenty years old, 64.9 per cent. were from twenty-one to forty-five years old and over. It is shown that but few of the women were engaged in agricultural pursuits, and that outside of the needle trades—dressmakers, milliners, seamstresse sand tailoresses—no manufacturing pursuit gave employment to a large number of them. More than half of these women are employed in domestic service. This is due to the large number of negro women included in the classification. day by the United States geological survey. It was declared, however, that more silver was mined during the twelve months than during any similar period since 1892. The passing of the picturesque prospector, with his pack mule and pick, leads the survey to fear that few rich gold "finds" will be made in the future. None was made in 1912. The value of the gold mined during 1912 will approximate $91,685,168, a decrease of more than $5,200,000 from the value of the output of 1911. The decrease is ascribed mainly to the failure of the bonanza camp at Goldfield, Nev., to maintain the rich character of its ore, although more ore actually was mined than in the previous year.' Colorado's production also fell off, while California again took first place as the banner gold-producing state. The output of silver, conservatively figured, will total 62,369,974 fine ounces, valued at $37,982,414. This is the greatest amount of silver ever mined in the United States, although it does not represent the greatest value. In the opinion of the survey, based on late reports from its western offices, the output may be increased to 64,000,000 ounces. The year 1912 was one of prosperity for the United States in so far as foreign commerce Big Increase in is concerned, acc Foreign Trade cording to figures made public the other day by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. The imports for that year totaled $1,818,133,355, as compared with $1,522,359,160 for the corresponding period of 1911. These were balanced by increases, also, in the exports, which in 1912 showed an increase to $2,399,217,993 from $2,092,526,746 in the year previous. During 1912 crude materials with an aggregate value of $633,786,671 were imported, as against $503,873,466 in 1911; manufactures in an unfinished state to the value of $320,388,041, an increase of $33,141,374 over 1911, and manufactures in the complete state to the value of $404,054,843, as against $356,573,257 the preceding year. In the matter of exports, crude materials increased from $662,019,810 in 1911 to $790,004,165 in 1912; unfinished manufactures from $324,819,283 to $384,810,877, and complete manufactures from $639,954,685 to $732,854,742. Has Representative Ezekiel Samuel Candler of Tishomingo county, Mississippi, left the "Zeke" Dons people? Fine Garb This is one of the problems in the house. Mr. Candler makes one set speech a year, about the Tombigbee river, and in that he tells how close he and that stream are to the "people, the real people." When Ollie James of Kentucky discounted from a street car the other day to enter the house office building he ran into Mr. Candler, clad in black frock coat, patent leather shoes, speckled waistcoat and silk hat. "Tut! tut! Ezeke! Have you quit the people?" said Mr. James. "No, no, Ollie. I went out in this rig last night and have not had time to change it," said the champion of the Tombigbee. One-Sided Arrangement "Why is it that Hendrix is able to dress so much better and live in so much finer style than you do? I understand that his salary is no higher than yours." "The explanation is very simple. He has a daughter and I have a son. My son has to pay the expenses for both whenever they go anywhere together." LURED BY ARCTIC Anna Boberg Braves Rigorous Winters of North to Paint. Artist Took Pot Luck With the Humble Fisher Folk in Pursuit of Her Adopted Profession—Woman Was Tenderly Reared. A tiny hut on a wind swept knoll of the Lofoton islands is where Anna Boberg lives and paints. She draws her inspiration from the Arctic sea. For several months of each year this delicately nurtured woman of gay Stockholm braves such hardships as men endure in order to put a new dot on the map or to plant the flag of their country where flag never waved before. She has made herself the little sister of the fisherman, living their lives of privation and listening to their tales of draugs and elves and all the hostile forces of nature. She has faced the lashing of the winter storms and dreamed in the glory of the summer nights. Anna Boberg's father was a distinguished architect, says the Chaftsman. Her husband, Ferdinand Boberg, is also an architect and one of the foremost in Europe. In the beginning she took pot luck with the fishermen. She slept whenever a bed was to be had and did not inquire too squeamishly. At some posts the local trader is required by law to furnish beds for travelers; in other places she was met by a curt denial, caused not so much by unkindness as by awe of her supposed fine ladylism. But it needed only a pleasant word to the old man at the fireside—or a baby dandelion in her lap—or a kind word to the mother—and the house was hers, with all that it contained. There was her spoon to dip in the common porringer and her share of the potatoes and salted herring. There was a bench, if nothing better, where she could roll herself in a blanket and sleep as well as possible in a room with mother, father and various sizes of children. To give her as much of a home as possible, under the circumstances and save her from unnecessary hardships, Mr. Boberg has built her a studio near the fishing station at Sylvar. When there is a good haul before the fishermen of Lofoten, necessitating long hours of night work. Mrs. Boberg allows no consideration for her own comfort to interfere with the work that means their livelihood. Often she helps to throw a net or hold a tiller. She has constructed a special type of palette and easel, which can be strapped to her person, so that she can paint on a rocking boat and miss no shifting play of sun and wind on the churning sea. Her costume, too, is of her own invention. Skirts are left behind among the luxuries of the mainland. Instead she wears in winter fur trousers coming up to her armpits, with a fur jacket and a close fitting cap that leaves only her eyes and mouth free. For painting she cuts the fingers and palms from her fur gloves. When the snow is soft she straps skis to her feet to keep from sinking deep into it, as she stands at work, often in a whirling snowstorm, till the paint freezes, and her stiffening fingers can hold a brush no longer. Then she is glad to escape with nothing more serious than frosted fingers or face. The fishermen laugh at her uniform and never tire of their joke: "Are you man or woman?" Sometimes they venture criticisms such as: "The number of that boat isn't right—it should be a six instead of a seven," or "that ship's too red." Mrs. Boberg enjoys the criticisms and culls from them whatever is of value, for she aims to reproduce with absolute faithfulness the implements and methods that are passing with the older generations. During the last ten or twelve years she has made more than 400 small sketches, which are carefully preserved in Stockholm, not only for their artistic value, but for the accuracy of detail which make them historically valuable. She has also set herself to the task of gathering all the weird, wild tales that will soon have faded even from the minds of the old salts in Nordland. To Break in New Shoes. A simple, although effective, way of "breaking in" shoes is that employed in the United States army. After the shoes have been fitted to their feet the soldiers stand in water up to the shoe tops, until the leather is thoroughly soaked. Then the soldiers are put on a march, and this "hike" is kept up until the shoes are thoroughly dried on the feet. Forever afterward the shoes are perfectly comfortable, for they conform in shape to every little peculiarity of the wearer's feet. This method of breaking in shoes, while, not new in itself, is one result of the recent investigation of the foot trouble of the army, which the specially appointed board of army officers has been conducting—Popular Mechanics Magazine.
